Share list question

[pluton]

Hi Erel and others

How will i call default share list (Facebook, Twitter, Email, Gmail and other apps which show in user list) - see picture

I have a some string test = "One, two, three, four fox jump over"

And I want when i press btnShare to show that default list and share that my string over app which will user choose.

Is it possible :sign0085:

It depends on what you are trying to share. To share text you can use:

   Dim i As Intent
   i.Initialize(i.ACTION_SEND, "")
   i.SetType("text/plain")
   i.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT", "some text")
   i.WrapAsIntentChooser("title")
   StartActivity(i)

Yes

That is it. It works like it should.

Thanks :sign0142:

Sharing image files?

What about sharing a PNG image file, created by my application and stored in sdcard?

I did work a little bit on that but I quit.
Look on my post here and see images:

It works only on Gmail app but on others I didn't manage anything.

I have also tested this in the past, and it worked with:

Gmail
Text/Sms
Email

I couldn't get it to pass the data to Facebook
But I am sure it's possible with the correct Intent syntax
Also very needed

After further testing (few hours)


This is the best and quickest way to Share a link to facebook
from within your app:

Dim TheUrl as string
TheUrl = "http://www.ibm.com"

 Dim i As Intent
    i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW, "http://m.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=" & TheURL)
   i.SetType("text/plain")
   i.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT", TheUrl)
    i.WrapAsIntentChooser("Open browser")
    StartActivity(i)

You can find people online talking about passing the parameter for TEXT
But that doesn't work at all.

http://m.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=ibm.com&t=textlinecangohere

So your thinking, why/how could I use this?

Add a Menu item, "Share My App" or "Share on Facebook"
then replace TheURL above with either your website link
or your direct link to your android market app page

This will really multiply your downloads because the people using your app
will be promoting your link easily now, to their 100 to 2000 friends on their
own facebook wall...

hi!

It depends on what you are trying to share. To share text you can use:

   Dim i As Intent
   i.Initialize(i.ACTION_SEND, "")
   i.SetType("text/plain")
   i.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT", "some text")
   i.WrapAsIntentChooser("title")
   StartActivity(i)

Hi!
How to detect which option was used to share the text?

 

[Erel]

It is not possible when you let the OS handle the intent. However you can instead show your own dialog and then you will be able to know.

You can use PackageManager.QueryIntentActivities to get the list of supported applications.

i tried to do this with image and text not sharing

Sub btn_share_ClickDim share AsMESShareLibrary
share.sharebinary("file://" & File.DirDefaultExternal & "/csa_logo1.jpg", "image/png", "Share the love!", "This is the text to go in the body!")End Sub
