i have an app that is using jquery mobile and it outputs and image.

now i have displayed the image in a preview page and i have added links below to share them on facebook and twitter and other platforms

how do i go about coding it...

when the user click on the share button the default share pannel should pop up like this

when the user select for example twitter the twitter app opens and the image should be attached.

How can this be achived..should i be looking in the apis of the social site or android api or phonegap api
