ShareCompat.IntentReader

public static class ShareCompat.IntentReader
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.support.v4.app.ShareCompat.IntentReader

IntentReader is a helper for reading the data contained within a sharing (ACTION_SEND) Intent. It provides methods to parse standard elements included with a share in addition to extra metadata about the app that shared the content.

Social sharing apps are encouraged to provide attribution for the app that shared the content. IntentReader offers access to the application label, calling activity info, and application icon of the app that shared the content. This data may have been provided voluntarily by the calling app and should always be displayed to the user before submission for manual verification. The user should be offered the option to omit this information from shared posts if desired.

Activities that intend to receive sharing intents should configure an intent-filter to accept ACTION_SEND intents ("android.intent.action.SEND") and optionally accept ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE ("android.intent.action.SEND_MULTIPLE") if the activity is equipped to handle multiple data streams.
