Different app name in sharing menu

Question

I'm struggling finding the right keywords to achieve this.

I'm basically trying to have a different app name in the Sharing dialog from other apps, pretty much the same way Pocket shows "Add to Pocket" instead of just "Pocket".

Any help would be greatly appreciated =) Thanks

for this u will need to customize Sharing Dialog instead of Default. see [Intercepting Android’s action_send Intents](http://clickclickclack.wordpress.com/2012/01/03/intercepting-androids-action_send-intents/#) and [How to create custom share dialog in Android](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13807490/how-to-create-custom-share-dialog-in-android) for creating custom Sharing dialog where u can easy change sharing app names like "Add to Pocket" instead of just "Pocket" — ρяσѕρєя K, Mar 26 '13 at 18:38

Change the value of android:label in the Activity which has the intent filter.

@Raghav Sood / @Ben Do I need to change the `android:label` within the manifest.xml or in the app itself? – Tom Nov 28 '14 at 16:47

@Tom : Like this in the manifest – Cecil Paul Apr 21 '20 at 14:45
