59[Direct Share][1] is a feature that allows apps to show their internal options directly in the
60system Intent chooser dialog. This sample is a dummy messaging app, and just like any other
61messaging apps, it receives intents for sharing a plain text. When a user shares some text from some
62other app, this sample app will be listed as an option. Using the Direct Share feature, this app
63also shows some of contacts directly in the chooser dialog.
64
65To enable Direct Share, apps need to implement a Service extending
66[ChooserTargetService][2]. Override the method [onGetChooserTargets][3] and return a list of Direct
67Share options.
68
69In your AndroidManifest.xml, add a meta-data tag in your Activity that receives the Intent. Specify
70android:name as android.service.chooser.chooser_target_service, and point the android:value to the
71Service.
