Android: Share plain text using intent (to all messaging apps)

Use the code as:

    /*Create an ACTION_SEND Intent*/
    Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    /*This will be the actual content you wish you share.*/
    String shareBody = "Here is the share content body";
    /*The type of the content is text, obviously.*/
    intent.setType("text/plain");
    /*Applying information Subject and Body.*/
    intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, getString(R.string.share_subject));
    intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareBody);
    /*Fire!*/
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, getString(R.string.share_using)));
