   }else{
       viewModel.isLinkShared.set(false);
   }
    viewModel.isLinkSharedOpen.set(false);
}

Answer 1

Sorry, but what you want is not an option. ACTION_SEND does not support a result, and apps do not have to indicate whether or not the user sent your content.

The closest thing you can do is to add EXTRA_CHOSEN_COMPONENT_INTENT_SENDER to the Intent returned by createChooser(). Through that, you can find out if the user chose something in that chooser. However:

• I don't think you find out if the user chose nothing

• It still does not indicate that the user actually used the chosen app to send your content

Answer 2

if(getIntent().getData() != null) {
    Uri fileUri = getIntent().getData();
    File file = new File(fileUri);

}

// for multiple files
if(getIntent().getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE) && getIntent().getClipData() != null) {

    int count = getIntent().getClipData().getItemCount();
    int currentUri = 0;
    while(currentUri < count) {
        Uri fileUri = getIntent().getClipData().getItemAt(currentUri).getUri();
        File file = new File(fileUri);
        currentUri = currentUri + 1;
    }
}
