@ahsan737 just last week I've updated https://github.com/ekke/ekkesSHAREexample to Qt 5.15
you should give it a test - I have no problems on Android 9 and 10

[ahsan737]

@ekkescorner thank you very much. I will give it a try.

[ahsan737]

I have tried with updated code.

I can share the data with some apps, but it cannot read all compatible apps for data sharing such as Wechat, Whatsapp, etc.

Testing OS: Android 11 (Oneplus 8T)
Target SDK: API 28 Android 9

Please check the attached files for reference.

@ahsan737 my app is only an example how you can implement sharing.
you have to figure out how the missed apps share their data, which intent-filter you need per ex. - sorry, have not the time to figure this out yet.

@ekkescorner okay sir, thanks for the kind response.

PS: Actually, I do not have much experience with android app development, so I cannot dive deep into the issue.

@ahsan737 for one customer per ex. I had to add

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND_MULTIPLE"></action>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
                <data android:mimeType="*/*"></data>
            </intent-filter>

@ekkescorner thank you

@ahsan737

replacing the following line of code
return createCustomChooserAndStartActivity(sendIntent, title, requestId, uri);

with these lines has worked for me.
QtNative.activity().startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, null));
return true;

Thanks to Dorian
