Receiving Data from Other Apps

I need to handle incoming content (pictures) from other apps in my app. (http://developer.android.com/training/sharing/receive.html)

In android picture gallery user should be able share a picture/pictures in my app (regular social app functionality) and in the app I should be able to process this.

Please advice me how to do it on Android in Corona SDK.

On iPhone it is possible:

This is currently not possible with Corona SDK. While it could be done with Corona Enterprise, it’s a very complex process and not something we would recommend doing.  The reverse process works now using your Corona SDK app and our media.* files to read images in and out of the photo album.
