to share text you don't pick the app you want to use. You pick the type of app you want to use. You can simply start an ACTION_SEND intent.

public void help() {
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is my text to send.");
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
String s = getString(R.string.sharesubject);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, s);
startActivity(sendIntent);

}

How about a share action provider its brand new. my 1st app has a share action provider and it looks a little like this.

share action provider

Basically you just fill up a share intent with the message and attach the intent to the share menu item.

Good Luck
