Android Sharing with Subject E-Mail/Whatsapp

android, android-sharing, email, whatsapp

Solution

Using `queryIntentActivities()` method of `PackageManager` class, you can set the intent extras based on package name.

Problem

I am using android native sharing with this code: ``` Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "I like to share with you some stuff."); intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "I like to share with you."); intent.setType(CONTENT_TYPE_TEXT); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share"); ``` When I use E-Mail as the sharing channel, I get what i want: ``` Subject: I like to share with you. Text: I like to share with you some stuff. ``` When I use WhatsApp as the sharing channel, I get the following text: ``` I like to share with you. I like to share with you some stuff. ``` What do I expect when sharing with Whatsapp: ``` I like to share with you some stuff. ``` Is there any option/flag indicating a sharing channel to suppress the subject, if the sharing channel does not support a subject basically. E.g. E-Mail supports subjects -> Use the provided intent extra. WhatsApp does not support subjects -> Do not use the provided intent extra.
