Sharing URL to Facebook, Twitter and email in Android?

I don’t know if that’s what you mean but you can use the Android built-in sharing menu…

You can share a URL to Facebook, Twitter, Gmail and more (as long as the apps are installed on your device) using Intents:

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("text/plain");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Sharing URL");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "http://www.url.com");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Share URL"));

If the app you want to share to is not installed on the user’s device, for example – facebook, then you’ll have to use Facebook SDK.

If you want your Activity to handle text data shared from other apps as well, you can add this to your AndroidManifest.xml:

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

Hope this helps!
