Question

I am using the following code to share some text via gmail,facebook,twitter, etc:

  Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "The status update text");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Dialog title text"));

The thing is that I want to check if the selected intent is Facebook, and if it is, I will do some other coding than prompt the share intent as usual.

Is it possible?

I’ve just found the following link : http://clickclickclack.wordpress.com/2012/01/03/intercepting-androids-action_send-intents/

It describes how to do this kind of task, all you need to do is create a row layout, and you’re done.
I tried it and it works great!

EDIT:
There’s a mistake in the article in the show function, it should be the following:

final ShareIntentListAdapter adapter = new ShareIntentListAdapter((Activity)context, R.layout.basiclistview, activities.toArray());

Thanks to @imram khan for mentioning that.

If anybody wants to use my xml row layout:

  <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >


   <TextView android:id="@+id/text1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
    android:textSize="20sp"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_marginRight="50dp"
/>


    <ImageView android:id="@+id/logo2"
    android:layout_width="70dp"
    android:layout_height="70dp"
    android:padding="10dp"
    android:src="@drawable/number1"
    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"/>

</RelativeLayout>
