[Question]: Can I share a URL using SharePlus that will open the app in a new window on android?

[Rudentsov]

What is your question?

Hello!

I am developing an app in Flutter.

Is it possible to make it so that when I share a URL using SharePlus on Android, the Telegram app opens in a new window?

Currently, when I call:

SharePlus.instance.share(
   ShareParams(uri: Uri.parse(url)),
);

а dialog opens where I click the Telegram button, but the Telegram app opens in the current window of my app.
But I want Telegram to open in a new window. Is it possible?

You might wanna check the launchMode in your AndroidManifest: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element#lmode

Thank you. The android:launchMode property is set to singleInstance so that if the app is already open, deep links open in the already-opened instance of the app, rather than in a separate one.

Found a solution to this problem:

I created a separate copy of SharePlus.

In the file android/src/main/kotlin/dev/fluttercommunity/plus/share/Share.kt
in line 79 you need to insert the following code:

addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)

So the code should become:

...
if (fileUris == null) {
shareIntent.apply {
action = Intent.ACTION_SEND
type = "text/plain"
putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, uri ?: text)
if (!subject.isNullOrBlank()) putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject)
if (!title.isNullOrBlank()) putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, title)
addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK) <<-- Insert this code in line 79
}
} else {
...

As a result, applications now open in a new window!

It would be great if the SharePlus developers implemented something similar, if necessary adding an API parameter that would allow opening applications in a new window.
