Question

I am using the following code to share information from my application.

Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "share Content" );
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "share subject" );
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Share Place via"));

The above code displays some options through which i can share, What i would like to achieve is somehow go through the options and omit some of them.

For Example , in my case, if Facebook app is present on the device, the above code displays it as one of the options. As i already have Facebook android sdk integrated in my application. I want to remove the Facebook option from the sharing options.

I think you should have a look at the PackageManager queryIntentActivities (Intent intent, int flags) methods. This will give you a list of Activities matching your Intentand then you can maybe remove some of them, and present a custom Dialog to the user, where you show just the desired Activities. And after the user chooses an Activity you’ll have to explicitly start that Activity.
