Google+ share link

Question

I'm looking for equivalent of facebook sharer link (http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http://stackoverflow.com) in Google+. I can't use the regular +1 button as I need to embed it in Android application, but I want it to work similar - launch a website to +1 specified url. How do I do it? Or maybe there's some other supported way to embed +1 button in Android application?

Thanks

Answer 3

Concerning that simple-static-link-approach: this (German) forum entry states that such a link does not exist. I don't know how reliable this is (as it seems to be a user-to-user forum), but it's still more than I've been able to find on the official pages.
