[Android-development] [Interest] responding to an Android intent in a Qt app

[Dirk Hohndel]

Ekke,

This is awesome. I browsed through your posts and cloned the SHAREexample.
I think it will take me a moment to follow this and understand how to apply this to my situation,
But this is by far the best explanation and best documented example that I've found, so thanks
to your information I'm much more optimistic that I should be able to figure this out.

I will post here if I  get stuck, but yeah... definitely a huge help!

/D
