copied!<p>OK so regardless of ActionBarSherlock first test to see if your creating your intent correctly, ABS uses the same code as the generic chooser does so see if the app's you are looking for show up when you execute this code.</p> <pre><code>Intent I= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); I.setType("text/plain"); I.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "My Test Text"); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(I,"Share using ...")); </code></pre> <p>All of that app's that handle plain text will show up, if facebook, or whatever you are expecting is not there then those app's don't support the ACTION_SEND intent for the type you have registered (plain/text). (Facebook does, but more about that in a minute)</p> <p>ABS has a sample for using the share action provider but it try's to send a photo, not a text message (status update) the setup you should be using is something like this</p> <pre><code>@Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // Inflate your menu. getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.share_action_provider, menu); // Set file with share history to the provider and set the share intent. MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_item_share_action_provider_action_bar); ShareActionProvider provider = (ShareActionProvider) item.getActionProvider(); provider.setShareHistoryFileName(ShareActionProvider.DEFAULT_SHARE_HISTORY_FILE_NAME); // Note that you can set/change the intent any time, // say when the user has selected an image. provider.setShareIntent(createShareIntent()); return true } </code></pre> <p>And here is the intent that will be used to match app's and list them out from the sample</p> <pre><code>private Intent createShareIntent() { Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); shareIntent.setType("image/plain"); Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(getFileStreamPath("shared.png")); shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri); shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "This is an android icon"); return shareIntent; } </code></pre> <p>but you want it to be</p> <pre><code>private Intent createShareIntent() { Intent I= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); I.setType("text/plain"); I.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "TEST - Disregard"); I.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Uri.parse("http://noplace.com")); } </code></pre> <p>This should give you the same list in ABS at it did in the small test stub I showed with the chooser above.</p>
