Class name to Share via Intent to LinkedIn only

Question

I am currently in the process of creating direct intents to a selection of popular platforms in an Android app to share some text. I am currently trying to get a direct intent working with LinkedIn.

I have currently got a direct intent working for Twitter like so:

shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setClassName("com.twitter.android",
            "com.twitter.android.PostActivity"); 
shareIntent.setType("text/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);           
startActivityForResult(shareIntent, 9);

What I need now is the same for LinkedIn. So far I know the base package for LinkedIn after searching on the internet. That being "com.linkedin.android" (Please correct me if this is wrong). However, the key part I am missing is the name of the class that deals with sharing in the LinkedIn app. I.e. com.linkedin.android.?.

Answer 1

I managed to find the intent by extracting the LinkedIn Manifest file from the APK.

The class name is: com.linkedin.android.home.UpdateStatusActivity

My code for anyone interested is:

if(Utils.doesPackageExist(getSherlockActivity(), "com.linkedin.android"))
{           
    Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    shareIntent.setClassName("com.linkedin.android",
            "com.linkedin.android.home.UpdateStatusActivity"); 
    shareIntent.setType("text/*");
    shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareText);           
    startActivity(shareIntent);
}
else
{
    Toast.makeText(getSherlockActivity(), "Please install the LinkedIn app to share your result", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

Answer 2

As of my writing, the new class name is:

com.linkedin.android.infra.deeplink.DeepLinkHelperActivity

So all together:

Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setClassName("com.linkedin.android",
        "com.linkedin.android.infra.deeplink.DeepLinkHelperActivity"); 
shareIntent.setType("text/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareText);           
startActivity(shareIntent);

Answer 3

It is com.linkedin.android.publishing.sharing.ShareActivity , you can download this app and see what is the current Activity name thats running on your phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.willme.topactivity ... But com.linkedin.android.publishing.sharing.ShareActivity seems its a private class and you can't access as you access Twitter
