Answer 1

I found the solution for sharing on google plus from android:-

Steps :- 1. Generate SH1 Key by the following commands:-

$keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -list -v

2:- Create project on google api console and also create client id. https://developers.google.com/+/mobile/android/getting-started

3.Add the google play service library to project from extras.If not exist then download the google play service using sdk manager.

4.Add values in string.xml from /extras/google/google_play_services/samples/plus/res/values/string.xml

5.Add the the permisson in androidMenifest.xml

      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

6.Add the below class in your project

    public class GooglePlusShareActivity extends Activity implements  
            View.OnClickListener,
            PlusClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
            PlusClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
            DialogInterface.OnCancelListener {
        protected static final String TAG = "ShareActivity";

        private static final String STATE_SHARING = "state_sharing";

        private static final int DIALOG_GET_GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES = 1;

        private static final int REQUEST_CODE_SIGN_IN = 1;
        private static final int REQUEST_CODE_INTERACTIVE_POST = 2;
        private static final int REQUEST_CODE_GET_GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES = 3;

        /** The button should say "View item" in English. */
        private static final String LABEL_VIEW_ITEM = "VIEW_ITEM";

        private EditText mEditSendText;
        private boolean mSharing;
        private PlusClient mPlusClient; 

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.share_activity);

        mPlusClient = new PlusClient.Builder(this, this, this)
                .setActions(MomentUtil.ACTIONS)
                .build();

        Button sendButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.send_interactive_button);
        sendButton.setOnClickListener(this);

        mEditSendText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.share_prefill_edit);
        mSharing = savedInstanceState != null
                && savedInstanceState.getBoolean(STATE_SHARING, false);

        int available =
          GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
          if (available != ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
            showDialog(DIALOG_GET_GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES);
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
        if (id != DIALOG_GET_GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES) {
            return super.onCreateDialog(id);
        }

        int available =  
        GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
        if (available == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
            return null;
        }
        if (GooglePlayServicesUtil.isUserRecoverableError(available)) {
            return GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(
                    available, this, REQUEST_CODE_GET_GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES, 
        this);
        }
        return new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
                .setMessage(R.string.plus_generic_error)
                .setCancelable(true)
                .setOnCancelListener(this)
                .create();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
        super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
        outState.putBoolean(STATE_SHARING, mSharing);

                    // Set sharing so that the share is started in onConnected.
                    mSharing = true;

                    if (!mPlusClient.isConnecting()) {

                handleResult(resultCode);
                break;

            case REQUEST_CODE_INTERACTIVE_POST:
                mSharing = false;
                if (resultCode != RESULT_OK) {

        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            // onActivityResult is called after onStart (but onStart is not
            // guaranteed to be called while signing in), so we should make
            // sure we're not already connecting before we call connect again.
            if (!mPlusClient.isConnecting() && !mPlusClient.isConnected()) {
                mPlusClient.connect();
            }

            finish();
        }
    }

    private Intent getInteractivePostIntent() {
        // Create an interactive post with the "VIEW_ITEM" label. This will
        // create an enhanced share dialog when the post is shared on Google+.
        // When the user clicks on the deep link, ParseDeepLinkActivity will
        // immediately parse the deep link, and route to the appropriate 
        resource.
        String action = "/?view=true";
        Uri callToActionUrl = 
        Uri.parse(getString(R.string.plus_example_deep_link_url) + action);
        String callToActionDeepLinkId =
        getString(R.string.plus_example_deep_link_id) + action;

        builder.addCallToAction(LABEL_VIEW_ITEM, callToActionUrl, 
        callToActionDeepLinkId);

        // Set the target url (for desktop use).
         builder.setContentUrl(Uri.parse

7.Add Another class as below

   public class MomentUtil {

    /**
     * A mapping of moment type to target URL.
     */
    public static final HashMap<String, String> MOMENT_TYPES;

    /**
     * A list of moment target types.

    static {
        MOMENT_TYPES = new HashMap<String, String>(9);
        MOMENT_TYPES.put("AddActivity",
                "https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/snippet/examples
        /thing");
        MOMENT_TYPES.put("BuyActivity",
                "https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/snippet/examples
        /a-book");
        MOMENT_TYPES.put("CheckInActivity",
                "https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/snippet/examples
        /place");
        MOMENT_TYPES.put("CommentActivity",
                "https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/snippet/examples/blog-
        entry");
        MOMENT_TYPES.put("CreateActivity",
                "https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/snippet/examples
       /photo");

        MOMENT_TYPES.put("ReserveActivity",
                "https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/snippet/examples

        /restaurant");
        MOMENT_TYPES.put("ReviewActivity",
                "https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/snippet/examples
        /widget");

        MOMENT_LIST = new ArrayList<String>(MomentUtil.MOMENT_TYPES.keySet());
        Collections.sort(MOMENT_LIST);

        ACTIONS = MOMENT_TYPES.keySet().toArray(new String[0]);
        int count = ACTIONS.length;
        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            ACTIONS[i] = "http://schemas.google.com/" + ACTIONS[i];
        }
    }

    /**
     * Generates the "result" JSON object for select moments.
     *
     * @param momentType The type of the moment.
     */
    public static ItemScope getResultFor(String momentType) {
        if (momentType.equals("CommentActivity")) {
            return getCommentActivityResult();
        }
        if (momentType.equals("ReserveActivity")) {
            return getReserveActivityResult();
        }
        if (momentType.equals("ReviewActivity")) {
            return getReviewActivityResult();
        }
        return null;
    }

    /**
     * Generates the "result" JSON object for CommentActivity moment.
     */
    private static ItemScope getCommentActivityResult() {
        return new ItemScope.Builder()
            .setType("http://schema.org/Comment")
            .setUrl("https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/snippet/examples
        /blog-entry#comment-1")
            .setName("This is amazing!")
            .setText("I can't wait to use it on my site!")
            .build();
    }

    /**
     * Generates the "result" JSON object for ReserveActivity moment.
     */
    private static ItemScope getReserveActivityResult() {
        return new ItemScope.Builder()
            .setType("http://schemas.google.com/Reservation")
            .setStartDate("2012-06-28T19:00:00-08:00")
            .setAttendeeCount(3)
            .build();
    }

    /**
     * Generates the "result" JSON object for ReviewActivity moment.
     */
    private static ItemScope getReviewActivityResult() {
        ItemScope rating = new ItemScope.Builder()
            .setType("http://schema.org/Rating")
            .setRatingValue("100")
            .setBestRating("100")
            .setWorstRating("0")
            .build();

        return new ItemScope.Builder()

            .setText("It is amazingly effective")
            .setReviewRating(rating)
            .build();
    }
}

8.Add share_activity.xml file

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="20dip">
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/share_title"
        android:paddingBottom="5dip"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/share_prefill_edit"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:inputType=""
        android:text="@string/share_prefill_text"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
        android:layout_marginBottom="30dip" />
    <Button
        android:id="@+id/send_interactive_button"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/send_interactive_button_name"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" />
</LinearLayout>

9.Import all the packages ctrl+shift+O

Thanks!!I hope it will work.

Answer 2

I just tested your code with a minimal MainActivity and it worked:

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener {

private Button mButton;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    mButton.setOnClickListener(this);
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    Intent shareIntent = new PlusShare.Builder(this)
            .setText("Hello Android!")
            .setType("image/png")
            .setContentDeepLinkId("testID",
                    "Test Title",
                    "Test Description",
                    Uri.parse("https://developers.google.com/+/images/interactive-post-android.png"))
            .getIntent();
    startActivityForResult(shareIntent, 0);
}

}

Are you sure that offrdetails_data.get(0) actually contains data?

Edit in response to comments: It may be that offrdetails_data.get(0).offerLink is longer than 512 characters.

The limit on deep link IDs is 512 characters (see description for data-calltoactiondeeplinkid):
