String textToShare = "Learn something new at www.teamtreehouse.com";

// YOUR CODE HERE Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); shareIntent.setType("text/plain"); shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Checkout this item on teamtreehouse"); startActivity(shareIntent.createChooser(shareIntent, "share"));
