I´m trying to share a .txt file with share intent. If I set "text/plain" as mime type, it reads the content like text not like text file, then the options given in the share menu are Whatsapp, Line, etc..

Does anybody know how to configure the share intent so that the share options are only the programs that are able to send a .txt file (Gmail, Dropbox, etc.. but not Whatsapp..)? Thanks

You can try the specific mime:

text/plain

or, the more general text mime:

text/*
