Textview selectable share option crashing

159 views Asked by At

I want to share selected text in textview with the text selection toolbar. This is my textview.xml

<TextView
                android:id="@+id/txt_content"
                fontPath="fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_margin="15dp"
                android:text="@{data}"
                android:bufferType="spannable"
                android:textColor="@color/md_black_1000"
                android:textIsSelectable="true"
                android:textSize="22sp" />

The textview content is a spannable with html code

binding.setData(SearchTextHighlight.highlight(searchKeyWord, Html.fromHtml(articles.getContent())));

I get the following error when i select share. I Hope my question is clear.

android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity  context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. Is this really what you want?

add this line , to the Intent you used to share

Intent i = new Intent(.........);
//add this line
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
