 <p>This worked for me,(Using ShareIntent) </p> <pre><code>private void shareOnTwitter(){ Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND); shareIntent.setType("text/plain"); // shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Extra Subject"); shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "check this application"); // shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, "Extra Stream"); PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager(); List&lt;ResolveInfo&gt; activityList = pm.queryIntentActivities(shareIntent, 0); for (final ResolveInfo app : activityList) { //"com.twitter.android.PostActivity".equals(app.activityInfo.name) if ((app.activityInfo.name).contains("twitter")) { final ActivityInfo activity = app.activityInfo; final ComponentName name = new ComponentName(activity.applicationInfo.packageName, activity.name); shareIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER); shareIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED); shareIntent.setComponent(name); context.startActivity(shareIntent); break; } } } </code></pre> <p>Just call <code>shareOnTwitter()</code> in you btn <code>OnClickListener()</code></p>
