Sharing with android and kotlin

Question

I want to implement sharing functionality that allows the user to share a url via text message, facebook, email, etc. Is there a share sheet functionality in kotlin/android as there is in ios?How can I access that using kotlin code?

I suggest you google "share android" or something similar to find the official documentation that explains how to do this. — Code-Apprentice, Mar 12 '20 at 17:02

This should be helpful for you:

val sharingIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND)
sharingIntent.type = "text/plain"
val shareBody = "Text to be shared"
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject")
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareBody)
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share using ..."))
