[Request] Open links to 'share with'

[Dav_Edward]

I'm not completely sure if this is the right category to post this in but I've seen other requests here.

I was hoping a developer would be interested in making a simple app to put on the market.

All the app needs to do is when a broseable link is clicked, it brings up the 'share with' menu.

This would be very useful when you get links in SMS/Gtalk/Skype/etc. where you want to just send them off to 'read it later', send-to-computer, email, etc. Without having to first open it up in a browser, end up getting the mobile version of the website, then have to re-share from the browser.

I managed to hunt down two pieces of code that look important. But the SDK is way too complicated for me to make sense of.

I know the code to make the app open to links is:

<intent-filter><action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"></action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>
</intent-filter>

and something like this to bring up the share with menu:

Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("text/html");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent,"Share using"));

If anyone is up to this, I'd really appreciate it, and I'm sure other people would really want to download your app.

So far on Google Play and AppBrain I have not found any apps that can do this.
