Sharing content from AppConnect for Android apps to non-AppConnect apps

By default, AppConnect apps cannot share content with non-AppConnect apps. However, you can allow content sharing with non-AppConnect apps. When you allow it, when a device user selects content in an AppConnect app to share, the user is presented with the list of all apps that can handle the content rather than just a list of AppConnect apps that can handle the content. The content can be any of the following:

  • text
  • images
  • video

You cannot allow sharing only from particular AppConnect apps. Sharing is allowed from either all AppConnect apps or not at all.

To allow content sharing with non-AppConnect apps, you add the key MI_AC_SHARE_CONTENT with the value true.

You add the key-value pair:
