I was following this article to make a compose app a share target, but it wasn’t working.

After adding an intent filter to the manifest, the app can be opened via the share menu.

<activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:exported="true"
            android:theme="_">
<!--            android:launchMode="singleInstance"-->
<!--            android:allowTaskReparenting="true"-->
<!--            >-->
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <data android:mimeType="text/*" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

(not sure about launch mode)

However, it seems that the activity isn’t re-created, so I am not able to print the intent with its data.

@AndroidEntryPoint
class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        Log.d("IMPORT 2", "$intent")
        setContent {
            
        }
    }
}

Also, it isn’t the correct composable that is shown. It only works if I close the app first so that the send intent opens the app for the first time.

@Composable
fun Navigation(appState: PoiAppState, paddingValues: PaddingValues) {
    NavHost(appState.navController, startDestination = Screen.Home.route, Modifier.padding(paddingValues)) {
        ... 
        composable(
            route = "share_target_route"
            deepLinks = listOf(
                navDeepLink {
                    action = Intent.ACTION_SEND
                    mimeType = "text/*"
                },
                navDeepLink {
                    action = Intent.ACTION_SEND
                    mimeType = "image/*"
                }
            )
        ) {
            ShareTargetScreen()
        }     
       ...
    }
}
