Request for default installed apps to handle ACTION_GET_CONTENT and ACTION_SEND ideally built by Google

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I just started porting an app to GoogleTV and am testing on a Logitech Revue.

Right off I noticed my intent for "ACTION_GET_CONTENT" didn't find an app to 
handle the intent.  It also looks like I'll have the same issue with 
ACTION_SEND.

My request is that apps for both these functions be installed by default on 
GoogleTV platforms and ideally they will be provided by Google.

A usage example would be an image enhancement/editing app should be able to 
look for and share content.  The bonus of using GoogleTV for that is the larger 
screen allowing an audience to watch as they work or just to have a larger work 
area.

Its upto third party app providers to implement ACTION_GET_CONTENT.
If you want this to be implemented for specific platform apps, please add names 
of those apps with expected behavior.

There is a Gallery app on my Logitech Revue, but it is not handling the 
ACTION_GET_CONTENT when my app requests it.  The same code works fine on my 
Kyocera Echo Android phone and the Gallery app handles the request as expected.

There is also a Twitter app, but I have the same problem with it.  It does not 
handle the ACTION_SEND request, but works fine with the same code on my phone.

In both cases I get a message that an Application can not be found to handle 
the intent.

I'll get a pic on here tonight with the message.
