Hi, Ciao Marco, I certainly didn't explain myself well, anyone who uses the app will download a pdf file from my site and if they want, they can share the file via WhatsApp, and also share a link on another page, the app is b4xpages.
in seguito il codice che uso per android

fl = "file.pdf"
    If File.Exists(File.DirInternal, fl) Then
    File.Copy(File.DirInternal, fl,Provider.SharedFolder,fl)
    Dim sendIntent As Intent
    sendIntent.Initialize(sendIntent.ACTION_MAIN,"")
    sendIntent.Action=sendIntent.ACTION_SEND
    sendIntent.SetPackage("com.whatsapp")
    sendIntent.SetComponent("android/com.android.internal.app.ResolverActivity")
    sendIntent.putExtra("jid", EditText2.Text & "@s.whatsapp.net")
    sendIntent.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.STREAM", Provider.GetFileUri(fl))
    sendIntent.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT","Si allega documento :")
    sendIntent.SetType("application/pdf")
    StartActivity(sendIntent)
        Else
    ToastMessageShow ("File  non trovato, effettuare download",True)
    End If

your code includes the whatsapp number, it is not needed for sending, the user will have to select the name in his wthatsapp list to send it

But that is completely different from what you have above and in the title.

Use ActivityViewController

Share data from your app with ActivityViewController

ActivityViewController allows the user to share data from your app using the standard share dialog. It was added in iPhone library v2.00. Using it is simple. You need to initialize AVC with one or more items that you want to share and call show: Sub Page1_Click Dim avc As...

www.b4x.com

Dim avc As ActivityViewController
avc.Initialize("avc", Array("YourText",xui.LoadBitmap(File.DirDocuments,"uPark_Image.png")))
avc.Show(B4XPages.GetNativeParent(Me), Root) 'Second parameter is relevant for iPad only. The arrow will point to the view.
Wait For avc_Complete (Success As Boolean, ActivityType As String)

Thanks Alexander, I tried sending pdf files and image files and it works really well, but I also need to send just text, in fact a few words and a link. how to do it?

but I also need to send just text

The same way as above, but without file?
