Is there any way to open the android/ios native share dialog from a webpage

Question

I'm trying to add a share button to my website which when clicked will open the native share dialog in android/ios where the user can share it via different apps available. I tried the below for android and it did not work from chrome browser

intent:#Intent;action=android.intent.action.SEND;type=text/plain;S.android.intent.extra.TEXT={encoded URL};end

This is to open a specific application from the browser right. I want to open the generic share dialog – Jophin Joseph Feb 05 '17 at 09:34
