Question

I recently implemented the action-send intent to share a plain text. Facebook is installed and updated on my phone but only “Googlemail” and “Textmessage” are shown as options for sharing my text.

A short code snippet:

            Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        intent.setType("plain/text");
        intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, item.getTitle());
        intent.putExtra(
                android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
                (item.getDescription());
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send..."));

Any suggestions what’s wrong with my app?

Normally I would think that I dont have to implement the whole facebook sdk for my simple purpose?!

Thanks in advance

The MIME type to use is text/plain, not plain/text.
