Adding My App to The Gallery App menu

Question

Hi i am trying to set my application what will be a tool to edit pictures, to the menu in the gallery app of the android phone. I know it should go with the intentfilter but i can not get it to work.

     <activity android:name=".Compass" android:label="@string/main_compass_tool_button">
  <intent-filter android:label= "@string/main_compass_tool_button">
   <action android:name="android.intent.action.SHARE"/>
   <data android:mimeType="image/*"/>
   <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
  </intent-filter>
 </activity>

Answer 1

The reason it is not working is because the action should be

android.intent.action.SEND

Not

android.intent.action.SHARE

I've mixed up the two also. SHARE is what you are supposed to show in the interface when sending a SEND intent - there is no SHARE intent.
