How to share the content?

[susu]

I want to make a button that can share the content (sms, email, facebook...). I tried these code but failed, please help.

Dim intent1 As Intent
Intent1.Initialize(Intent1.ACTION_SEND, "")
Intent1.SetType("plain/text")
Intent1.PutExtra("text", Content.Text)
StartActivity(Intent1)

Try this:

    Dim i As Intent
    i.Initialize(i.ACTION_SEND, "")
    i.SetType("text/*")
    i.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT", "this is the message")
    i.WrapAsIntentChooser("Choose")
    StartActivity(i)

Thanks Erel.
I read about "intent" for hours but couldn't get a clue

Hi,

I have got a button on an app so the user can click to link the download page to facebook.

Using the code below it all works fine and links the page, the problem i have is that it displays a list of all apps, i tried to set the component to com.facebook.katana so that it would use the facebook app, but it still displays all apps.

is there a way so that it shows onlt facebook, or goes directly to facebook instead of displaying all apps.

Dim i As Intent
i.Initialize(i.ACTION_SEND, "")
i.SetType("text/plain")
i.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT", "http://www.b4x.com/")
i.SetComponent("com.facebook.katana")
StartActivity(i)

Thanks

You are not setting the component correctly. It should include the activity name.

I'm using the code that Stulish posted to get my app to be able to share to more than email.
Now I'm wondering if there's a way to intercept the Share Using dialog so that I could do specific things depending on what they want to share to...?

i.e. If sharing to Facebook or G+, just push the link.
If sharing via email/gmail, create an email body/subject/attachement.

Many thanks!
Chris

You can get a list of the supported applications with the the updated phone library (v2.01): http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional...s/27435-phone-library-v2-01-a.html#post159054

Is there a way, you can think of, to do it without the Phone library?

It seems...If I add the Phone library, the Play Store won't make my app available to WiFi only devices.

Thanks!

This is not related to the Phone library. Google Play filters applications based on the manifest file. Adding the Phone library (or any other library) doesn't add anything to the manifest.

Only when you add an object to your code that requires a specific permission the permission is added.
