Target App Design Specifications

Last updated: 2026-06-02 07:02
Content overview

This section describes the design specifications for the target app integrated with the system sharing panel. For details, please refer to Design - Sharing Mode Area.

App Name and Icon Specifications

After implementing the UIAbility or UIExtensionAbility for receiving the shared content in your target app, you can register the supported shared data types in the skills section of the configuration file (src/main/module.json5), and set actions to ohos.want.action.sendData.

If the shared content type is supported by the target app, the target app's icon will appear in the sharing mode area of the sharing panel.

You can set different names and icons for different abilities.

Example:

Collapse
Word wrap
Dark theme
