Thanks!
THen i'm just confused about how to react to the intent -> at some
point the images i'm sharing should be triggering some sort of event,
so i can handle it. That's what i was trying to do with the receiver.
Could you point me how to have a functions that reacts as an event-
handler of the received 'SEND'?
