Answer 1

Your problem is here:

Intent.setType("text/plain");
Intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "COMPARTILHAR MEU APP");

When using Intent (the class name) and not intent (the name of the variable you created), you are trying to statically access nonstatic methods, hence the error.

Your code should look like this:

intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "COMPARTILHAR MEU APP");
