    application:share() #enhancement

    Hi guys!

    How can we add native android sharing to Gideros?
    application:share(text,url,imageUrl)

    If we place this stuff inside GiderosApplication.java, will it work? Or something else has to be done to make it work?
    static public void share(String textToShare, String urlToShare)	
	{
		Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
		shareIntent.setType("text/plain"); 
		shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, urlToShare);
		--adding image is too tricky for me : (
 
		startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, textToShare));
	}
    Thx!

      It will probably work, but it would be better to make a plugin for sharing I think.
      Actually I began writing one three years ago, but the image sharing part on android was too tricky for me too!

      People suggest sharing remote images with the help of libraries like Glide or Picasso: https://guides.codepath.com/android/Sharing-Content-with-Intents

      Maybe just add simple text&url for now? (and remove it later some day, if image sharing plugin will be added to Gideros)
      application:share(text,url)
      static public void share(String textToShare, String urlToShare)	
	{
		Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
		shareIntent.setType("text/plain"); 
		shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, urlToShare);
		startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, textToShare));
	}
