[android-developers] Re: How to specify an IntentFilter that only activates when the Intent comes from within my own app?

Another way would be to use a custom Mime type for your data, instead of text/plain, and only your IntentFilter services that type. I like the exported="false" solution better though.

I have an Activity that responds to the ACTION_SEND Intent. Is there any way for me to be able to specify the IntentFilter such that the Activity is only displayed by the IntentChooser when it has been called from within my app?

Ie I want the SendIntentResponderActivity displayed as a viable recipient of ACTION_SEND, but only if I am the one that issued the Intent. NB displaying my Activity shouldn't stop other standard responders (such as Gmail etc) from also being displayed.

<activity android:name=".SendIntentResponderActivity">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND"/>
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
        <data android:mimeType="text/plain"/>
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

 

final Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, content);
final Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share via"));
context.startActivity(chooserIntent);
