Android setup

Step 1

Register the plugin in your Activity:

+ import android.content.Intent;
+ import com.adaslash.send_intent.SendIntentListener;

public class MainActivity extends BridgeActivity {
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // Initializes the Bridge
    this.init(savedInstanceState, new ArrayList<Class<? extends Plugin>>() {{
      // Additional plugins you've installed go here
      // Ex: add(TotallyAwesomePlugin.class);
+     add(SendIntentListener.class);
    }});
  }

+ @Override
+ protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
+   this.setIntent(intent);
+   super.onNewIntent(intent);
+ }
}

Step 2

Add intent filter to AndroidManifest.xml

<intent-filter>
   <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
   <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
   <data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
</intent-filter>
