How do you turn off share history when using ShareActionProvider?

问题

The new ShareActionProvider available in Android 4.0 (or in earlier versions if you're using ActionBarSherlock) has a feature where the last used item is displayed in the action bar. Is there anyway to turn this off?

回答1:

There is no API to do this. However, the class is really simple and you could very easily create your own version of ShareActionProvider that did not keep a history. You would just have to determine the sort order of the possible targets using some other means of ordering (e.g., alphabetically).

回答2:

For me, the best solution for avoid the history icon is don't use ShareActionProvider, instead of it, create it as any other action:

 <item 
    android:id="@+id/menu_action_share"
    android:showAsAction="ifRoom" 
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_share"
    android:title="@string/share"/>

at the menu/activity_actions.xml put a item with the ic_action_share icon...

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_actions, menu);
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
 }

Inflate the menu normally...

private void actionShare(){
     Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
     i.setType("text/plain");
     i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "my string");
     i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "another string");
     startActivity(i); 
     //Or like above will always display the chooser
     //startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, getResources().getText(R.string.share))); 
 }

Create a method with an ACTION_SEND intent

@Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.menu_item_share:
            actionShare();
            return true;
        default:
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
        }
    }

And finally call to this method from onOptionsItemSelected

Start the share activity by yourself:

shareActionProvider.setShareIntent(intent);
shareActionProvider.setOnShareTargetSelectedListener(this);

@Override
public boolean onShareTargetSelected(ShareActionProvider source, Intent intent) {
    // start activity ourself to prevent search history
    context.startActivity(intent);
    return true;
}

Then the ShareActionProvider will not add the chosen activity to the share history.

I created my own version of the ShareActionProvider (and supporting classes), you can copy them into your project (https://gist.github.com/saulpower/10557956). This not only adds the ability to turn off history, but also to filter the apps you would like to share with (if you know the package name).

private final String[] INTENT_FILTER = new String[] {
        "com.twitter.android",
        "com.facebook.katana"
};

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.journal_entry_menu, menu);

    // Set up ShareActionProvider's default share intent
    MenuItem shareItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_share);

    if (shareItem instanceof SupportMenuItem) {
        mShareActionProvider = new ShareActionProvider(this);
        mShareActionProvider.setShareIntent(ShareUtils.share(mJournalEntry));
        mShareActionProvider.setIntentFilter(Arrays.asList(INTENT_FILTER));
        mShareActionProvider.setShowHistory(false);
        ((SupportMenuItem) shareItem).setSupportActionProvider(mShareActionProvider);
    }

    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

Point of clarification: It's not the "last used", it's "most often used", across a sliding window period of time.

If you prefer not to use history, then before creating your views, call

yourShareActionProvider.setShareHistoryFileName(null);

Description of this method, from the official docs (emphasis mine):

Sets the file name of a file for persisting the share history which history will be used for ordering share targets. This file will be used for all view created by onCreateActionView(). Defaults to DEFAULT_SHARE_HISTORY_FILE_NAME. Set to null if share history should not be persisted between sessions.

EDIT: I should clarify — The "most often used" item won't show up if there's no history, so this is currently the only way of removing that button.

Although It's been 2 years ago today but I'd like to share my experience as I made a custom ShareActionProvider class and add this line chooserView.getDataModel().setHistoryMaxSize(0); inside onCreateActionView() which did all the magic for me ! .. I tested it on Lollipop device and on API 16 emulator device and it works perfectly. here is my custom class :

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.os.Build;
import android.support.v7.internal.widget.ActivityChooserView;
import android.support.v7.widget.ShareActionProvider;
import android.view.View;


public class MyShareActionProvider extends ShareActionProvider {
    /**
     * Creates a new instance.
     *
     * @param context Context for accessing resources.
     */
    public MyShareActionProvider(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateActionView() {
        ActivityChooserView chooserView = (ActivityChooserView) super.onCreateActionView();
        Drawable icon;
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
            icon = getContext().getDrawable(R.drawable.share_icon);
        }else{
            icon = getContext().getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.share_icon);
        }
        chooserView.setExpandActivityOverflowButtonDrawable(icon);
        chooserView.getDataModel().setHistoryMaxSize(0);
        return chooserView;
    }

}

add the code like this:

    private void addShareSelectedListener() {
    if (null == mShareActionProvider) return;
    OnShareTargetSelectedListener listener = new OnShareTargetSelectedListener() {
        public boolean onShareTargetSelected(ShareActionProvider source, Intent intent) {
            mContex.startActivity(intent);
            return true;
        }
    };

//Set to null if share history should not be persisted between sessions.
    mShareActionProvider.setShareHistoryFileName(null);
    mShareActionProvider.setOnShareTargetSelectedListener(listener);

}

回答8:

    getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.share_action_provider, menu);

    // Set file with share history to the provider and set the share intent.
    MenuItem actionItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_item_share_action_provider_action_bar);
    ShareActionProvider actionProvider = (ShareActionProvider) actionItem.getActionProvider();
    ***actionProvider.setShareHistoryFileName(null);
    OnShareTargetSelectedListener listener = new OnShareTargetSelectedListener() {
        public boolean onShareTargetSelected(ShareActionProvider source, Intent intent) {
            startActivity(intent);
            return true;
        }
    };
    actionProvider.setOnShareTargetSelectedListener(listener);***
