[Android] Add 'Share' button to selection controls #138728
Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
- I have read the guide to filing a bug
Use case
A native Android app shows the 'Share' option in the selection context menu (before 'Select all') :
For a TextField:
For a TextView:
Proposal
On Android, add the 'Share' option to the Flutter selection menu (both for Selectable region and TextField).
This is part of #107578 which is very broad (all plaforms and all missing menu options).
Creating this issue to make it easier to follow.
Implementation steps
The 'share' feature is already supported on iOS (see #132599 and flutter/engine#44554), the steps to support it on Android are:
