How to add my application to the list of applications that can open images?

-1

When an application on a device tries to share an image, opens a list of applications that can do something with that image: publish it on social networks, edit, etc. What should I add to the manifest file of my application in order to add my application to this list? And, basically, it is interesting what to add to the config.xml in the PhoneGap project.

In order to register your application capable to do certain tasks like open images from storage, you need to add the following code inside the activity tag that can do that task:

<activity android:name=".MyImageActivity">

<intent-filter>

    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />

    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />

    <data android:mimeType="image/*" />

</intent-filter>

</activity>

Intent filters inform the system what intents an application component is willing to accept.

Thank you, this works, but if you also know how to handle intent (to upload the image which one app will share, to the Canvas in a target app), please, tell me. Cordova plugin cordova-plugin-intent gives possibility to handle the Intent, but i don't know how it must be written. How to take the image from intent and put it in to the Canvas on a html page in the app

Regarding your next question, I have not worked with Cordova. But you can receive the data from an intent in your target app pretty easily. Just use getIntent() in onCreate() to access the intent. You can find a working code at developer.android.com/training/sharing/receive

You can find a working code at - not the same what i need. It is describes how to receive the data in java, but i need to use it in a javascript function. I know, what to use for that (cordova-plugin-intent), but i don't know the syntax, what exactly must be written in a function, how to call that data. My problem is not solved, but your answer is completely an answer to my question how it was asked, thank you.
