A choose dialog appears from the bottom of the screen showing all the apps on the device that are able to handle this type of the intent.

// TODO (1) Create a void method called shareText that accepts a String as a parameterpublic void shareText(String text) {
    // Do steps 2 - 4 within the shareText method
    // TODO (2) Create a String variable called mimeType and set it to "text/plain"

String mimeType = "text/plain";
    // TODO (3) Create a title for the chooser window that will pop up

String title = "First Share Text";
    // TODO (4) Use ShareCompat.IntentBuilder to build the Intent and start the choose

ShareCompat.IntentBuilder.from(this)
            .setChooserTitle(title)
            .setType(mimeType)
            .setText(text).startChooser();}
