cordova - Sending url to ionic android app via webintents from another app -

looking updated solution, running latest ionic 1.1.0 release uses cordova 5.x. trying able browse website in chrome , send url ionic android app using web intent. app compiles , runs, when attempt use share feature chrome(or other app) , choose app share to, app crashes.

i first attempted use plugin:

ionic plugin add https://github.com/initsogar/cordova-webintent

and removed plugin , tried more updated fork:

ionic plugin add https://github.com/fluentstream/cordova-webintent

in app.js file putting following code:

.run(function($ionicplatform, $rootscope, $ionichistory, $state) {    $ionicplatform.ready(function() {     window.plugins.webintent.getextra(window.plugins.webintent.extra_text,     function(url) {       incomingurl = url;       //alert(incomingurl);       console.log(incomingurl);     }, function() {       incomingurl = false;       //alert("no url");       console.log("no url");     });   }); }) 

i tried:

.run(function($ionicplatform, $rootscope, $ionichistory, $state) {    $ionicplatform.ready(function() {     window.plugins.webintent.geturi(function(url) {       if(url !== "") {           alert(url);//url url intent launched       }     });    }); }) 

in file config.xml put:

<plugin name="webintent" value="com.borismus.webintent.webintent"/> 

in androidmanifest.xml manually put in:

<activity android:name="shareactivity">     <intent-filter>         <action android:name="android.intent.action.send" />         <category android:name="android.intent.category.default" />         <data android:mimetype="text/plain" />     </intent-filter> </activity> 

the app runs, when go chrome , click share button, , choose app, app shuts down following android message appears:

unfortunately, myappname has stopped.

can suggest solution getting share intent work app...or forgetting , doing wrong.

thank you!

found out problem due how set androidmanifest.xml file.

i using activity tag, when should have been including intent in 1 activity.

for instance had:

<activity android:configchanges="orientation|keyboardhidden|keyboard|screensize|locale" android:label="@string/activity_name" android:launchmode="singletop" android:name="mainactivity" android:theme="@android:style/theme.black.notitlebar" android:windowsoftinputmode="adjustresize">     <intent-filter android:label="@string/launcher_name">         <action android:name="android.intent.action.main" />         <category android:name="android.intent.category.launcher" />     </intent-filter> </activity> <activity android:name="shareactivity">     <intent-filter>         <action android:name="android.intent.action.send" />         <category android:name="android.intent.category.default" />         <data android:mimetype="text/plain" />     </intent-filter> </activity> 

when should have had:

<activity android:configchanges="orientation|keyboardhidden|keyboard|screensize|locale" android:label="@string/activity_name" android:launchmode="singletop" android:name="mainactivity" android:theme="@android:style/theme.black.notitlebar" android:windowsoftinputmode="adjustresize">      <intent-filter android:label="@string/launcher_name">          <action android:name="android.intent.action.main" />          <category android:name="android.intent.category.launcher" />      </intent-filter>      <intent-filter>         <action android:name="android.intent.action.send" />         <category android:name="android.intent.category.default" />         <data android:mimetype="text/plain" />      </intent-filter> </activity>
