I am looking into implementing this with socialauth-android to implement this feature. It offers the benefit of a central API for all major social media platforms as well as email and MMS text messaging.

Now I am working on some design issues. social-auth offers two ways to share data: a button which provides a drop-down list and a tool bar. I would like some opinions about which of these to use and whether to place them in BaseballCardList or BaseballCardDetails (or both?). Does anyone have some insight of what might provide a better user experience?

ActionMode#setCustomView() can be used to add a Social Auth button to the Contextual Action Bar.

For >API 14, we can use ShareActionProvider.

ShareActionProvider is available in the support library.

Android 6.0 (Marshmallow - API 23) adds Direct Share. Perhaps this is available in the support library as well. I need to do more research.
