You do not need to specify a target address. Twidroid, for example, responds to ACTION_SEND and lets you post to Twitter. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Social Intents
I am interested--as I'm sure many of you are--in posting text to a facebook profile, a twitter status or some other social forum of the user's picking. As a game developer, I think this would be nice for users to brag about high scores. I was hoping that with 2.0's new sync and saved social profiles that there might be a simple intent for this--something like the ACTION_SEND does for sending data to a contact. Ideally, I would just have a simple intent, let's say ACTION_POST with some data (either text or a stream) with a MIME-TYPE set and the Android OS or MotoBlur, or someone who actually holds on to the user's social account information would handle a post. I don't mind if someone catches my intent and prompts the user to approve it first. I just want to give them the option. Can anyone tell me if anything like this exists? If not, what is the simplest way to post something to a facebook profile (feed or status), twitter status or some other social media? I have no desire to recapture the user's login info, as they've already done this, and why should they trust a 3rd party app to handle it properly?
