+Direct Share is a feature that allows apps to show their internal options directly in the
+system Intent chooser dialog. This sample is a dummy messaging app, and just like any other
+messaging apps, it receives intents for sharing a plain text. When a user shares some text from some
+other app, this sample app will be listed as an option. Using the Direct Share feature, this app
+also shows some of contacts directly in the chooser dialog.
+
+Direct Share was [first introduced][1] in Android M where you had to implement a service to provide
+direct share targets on demand. The way to do that changed in Android Q, you need to provide your
+direct share targets in advance. First, you have to declare share-target elements in the same
+application's resource file than [static shortcuts][2]. Then, you need to publish dynamic
+shortcuts with the same category you declared in the share-target with the [ShortcutManager API][3].
+You will need to manually update the list of shortcuts every time you consider it appropriate.
+The API offers methods to update, remove or add shortcuts. You can use the
+[ShortcutInfoCompat.Builder][4] to customize your shortcut. If you don't want to block the UI thread
+doing these operations, interactions with the ShortcutManager can also happen on a background thread.
+
+There are three ways the app is sending/receiving intents:
+- Dynamic Share: The user selected the app in the sharesheet to receive the text. After this,
+the user will have to select the contact to share the text with. In our case, the app receives an
+intent of type Intent.ACTION_SEND.
+- Direct Share: The user selected a person of your app in the sharesheet to share the text with.
+The received intent of type Intent.ACTION_SEND will contain a String EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ID that will
+have the id of the shortcut that was selected. After this, the app is ready to send the text.
+- Launcher shortcut: When the user taps on a launcher shortcut, the intent that was
+added to the shortcut will get fired. In our case, it triggers an intent of type Intent.ACTION_DEFAULT.
+
+To make Direct Share backwards compatible with older Android versions, you need to add the AndroidX
+sharetarget library and in your AndroidManifest.xml, add a meta-data tag in your Activity that
+receives the Intent. Specify android:name as android.service.chooser.chooser_target_service and
+android:value as androidx.sharetarget.ChooserTargetServiceCompat.
