What's missing in iOS: Intents.

tl;dr Because developer neither wasted time on Android apps nor learnt how to code properly, these kind of blog pops up. There's absolutely no random action when user presses a button, it's clear to person of intelligence level of 5 year old. Maybe author lacks that. Share intenet is quite robust even if for default gallery app shown. First, it only shows the apps that can share images/video, and also remembers the most used share so that user don't have to click to see share pop-up at all.

tl;dr: inconsistent interface, no recommendations when nothing can handle it.<p>Generally quite true, though the &#x27;share&#x27; icon on Android is <i>pretty</i> consistent. Easily 95%+ of the apps I&#x27;ve used have used that same icon.<p>A lot of this would be &#x2F; could be solved by having some way you could replace the system&#x27;s chooser. I hadn&#x27;t thought of that before reading this article, but that <i>would</i> be pretty darn cool, and could be a significant improvement.

tl;dr Coder&#x27;s boss complains &quot;Why can&#x27;t this be like it is on my iPhone.&quot; Coder complains &quot;Why can&#x27;t Google make it easy for the cases that kind of map to iPhone functionality to have a pre-cooked UI (I suppose ShareActionProvider isn&#x27;t quite it?)<p>The real problem is too few apps implement too few Intent filters other than Intent.ACTION_SEND.
