Android Share Via Dialog


I've seen the "share via" dialogs that are in apps like TFLN (texts from last night). Looks like this: share dialog



I am looking to share text. Can someone point me in the right direction? Is this done with intents?

  1. This is indeed done with Intents.

    For sharing an image, like in the example picture, it would be something like this:

    Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    share.setType("image/jpeg");

    share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
    Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/DCIM/Camera/myPic.jpg"));

    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image"));


    For text you would use something like:

    Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    share.setType("text/plain");
    share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "I'm being sent!!");
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Text"));

  2. Yes. You need to provide an Activity with an intent filter that can handle objects of the MIME Type image/jpeg (say, if you wanted to support sharing JPEG images), and and action of presumably ACTION_SEND.

    Many of the built-in Android apps are open-source, you can check the manifest file of the Messaging app to see what intent filters it is using.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
