String textToShare = "Learn something new at www.teamtreehouse.com";
// YOUR CODE HERE

56,403 PointsIntents usually don't come in different subtypes. You create an vanilla Intent passing in a constant for the action you intend to perform. (One extra hint. there isn't a "share" action but there is a "send" action which amounts to the same thing.)
