Android Question sharing data between apps

[leitor79]

Hi,

I need to share data from my app to another user who could have the same app. The data I want to share is data from within the app, so I'm not sure if the examples I saw (of how to share images or how to share files) would apply. Would saving the data (ex: in JSON format) into a temporary file and sent it be the best approach?

Also; when the user receives the data (over mail, whatsapp, whathever), he/she should be able to open it with my app. I mean; I'd like the user to tap the received data and the system shows my app in "open with" list, like when you receive a PDF file and adobe pdf, google drive, etc, are shown.

Thank you very much!

Saving the data to a file and sharing the file is a good approach (whether it is the best or not depends on the exact requirements). Use B4XSerializator to create the file.

Letting the user open the file with your app: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ith-for-own-file-extension-abc.65427/#content
Note that it can be tricky to get it working properly on all devices.
