Allowing my 3rd party app to be the recipient of a shared photo

[Peter Battaglia]

Hi

This is my post on here. I'm excited to get involved in the community.

My question is pretty straightforward, but even with a year of WP development under my belt and many hours of searching I still can't find an answer. Is there any way that when a user uses the native "share menu" for a photo (the one that lists Facebook, twitter, email, etc.) that my 3rd party app can show up on this list and I can have a handler for what to do with the image? I am fully aware of the photochoosertask and the photo libraries, but I am interested in getting on the native list.

Thanks,
Pete

This is about sharing in general.. both sharing from your app and receiving. but mainly just an overview with links in it.. for images specifically use

Thanks for the reply, narv. Those links deal with sharing in Windows 8 Apps. I'm looking for info on sharing in Windows Phone 8 Apps.

I appreciate your help, though. Thanks!
