Hi,

I'm working on a note taking app and I would like to add it to the ANDROID share menu to receive content from it.

The share menu lets you share text/links from the browser to apps.

This is how it looks like:

Does anybody know how to do that?

I'm using AIR 3.9 and Flash CS6

Thanks

Here you have a request to make an ANE to do this. Vote it!

You can try with this ANE for Android:

If you need iOS functionality as well, you have this paid extension:

Instructions for the latter can be found here:

He wants to RECEIVE content. Not send.

AFAIK the only way for an Air app to receive content is by connecting to a socket server, recently added to Adobe Air 3.8. And even that works on a LAN only.

The requester would have a build a website and continously request for updates. One user could "share" a link viewed in a webview and "upload" it to a web server that can later be queried at regular intervals.

Sorry, I didn't notice he meant the other way around. In that case, you still need an ANE, but I don't know about any readily available one. You might be interested in contacting with the author of this post:
