Sharing button with only facebook and twitter apps in dialog

Question

I want to add sharing button to my app, and I have done the following:

final Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);              
            /* Fill it with Data */
            shareIntent.setType("plain/text");
            shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "www.somesite.com");    


            /* Send it off to the Activity-Chooser */
            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share..."));

It shows a dialog and I dont see in this dialog facebook and twitter. I do have both these applicaitons installed in my phone. So, first question is why it doesnt show them? And second if later I will make them somehow appear in the phone, how to make that dialog show only facebook and twitter, and if user does not have them, ask user just to install it by giving link to official app.

@talhakosen, i dont want to install their sdks and do a lot of more job. I thought it is possible somehow to filter a dialog... if it is — Daler, Dec 25 '12 at 15:03

You can check them by using below code,

How to customize share intent in Android?

Android Intent for Twitter application

I've seen a lot of questions about modifying the app chooser, and they all seem to state that no, you cannot change the built-in app chooser, but you can create a custom app chooser using queryIntentActivities() in the PackageManager class.

try{
    ApplicationInfo info = getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo("com.facebook.katana", 0 );
    return true;
} catch( PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e ){
    return false;
}


try{
    ApplicationInfo info = getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo("com.twitter.android", 0 );
    return true;
} catch( PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e ){
    return false;
}

So, in this case i must not use intents. I have to come out with my own dialog, and then somehow send them to app. Still confused, but +1 for some idea ) — Daler, Dec 25 '12 at 15:09
