You can easily share to Google+ with ShareCompat, you only need the support library for that.

Sharing the Android way doesn't involve integrating services one by one. That would require you to update your app any time a new service launches that you might want to integrate with. Instead you use the ACTION_SEND Intent.

This blog post gives a good intro to its use: http://sudarmuthu.com/blog/sharing-content-in-android-using-action_send-intent

When you implement sharing this way your users can share using any app they have installed on their device. If they install a new app that can accept sharing intents your app will immediately be able to integrate with it with no changes from you. The Google+ app accepts these sharing intents.
