B4A Library Share Library - Beta!

Has anyone gotten this to share a photo with Yahoo correctly?
also, what permissions is needed for this?

mistermentality · Jul 13, 2012

I'm sure this library would be brilliant for my needs if I could get it working, so apologies for what may be obvious but how are people getting this to share files by sms? On my 2.3.5 gingerbread phone it only offers "gmail and skype" and nothing else such as messaging or facebook even though if I use apps on my phone that share then the other options appear so I can't see why they won't by using the library.

I've tried using it to share a file that contains encrypted text, and also tried with standard flat text file, via text message but for some reason I get none of the other options mentioned here such as messaging or facebook. Is there something I need to add to the manifest?

My most recent try at doing this is:

share.sharebinary("file://" & File.DirRootExternal & "/temp.nck", "Text/txt", "some text", "some more text")

to send an encrypted text file which has the extension nck.

If I try sharing with gmail it shows the attachment but does not send it whether I use two or three / characters, and still does not offer other options such as messaging. Any ideas why?

I'm using version 1.92 of B4A and the share library linked to in the threads first post, could this be why?

Thanks for any ideas.

Dave

Edit: After re reading this thread lots of times I've just realised this is for images only by the sound of it. Sorry.

jalle007 · Mar 11, 2013

Is it possible to share my own app with this lib ?

Dave O · May 29, 2013

Just noticed that when I share to Gmail, it attaches the file OK, but the text I supplied goes into the body, not the subject line.

(I'm using file:/// as described above.)

Any way to fix this?

yttrium · May 29, 2013

So this is basically a friendly wrapper for Intents?

Seems neat.

Isn't there a default email compilation method as part of the Phone library?

Perhaps you should use that instead of the Share Library.

gadgetmonster · Jun 4, 2013

Thanks for the library - just what I was looking for.

As a workaround for getting text into Facebook, I have copied the text into the clipboard. So when the user shares to FB they will get the photo attached and then they just have to paste the text.

TsubasaOzora9 · Jul 14, 2013

thanks a million.. finally get the thing i want working..

i desperately want to make the share button.. look everywhere.. and i bump to this thread..

nice job..

so27 · Aug 2, 2013

Perfect

merlin2049er · Aug 20, 2013

Got to try this library out. I'd like to give an option to share a listview to fb. Would I need to create a file first, or just send the listview as a text string?

merlin2049er · Aug 21, 2013

ok, got the library installed. I see that you need to give it a file.

But what do you attach the share to? a button?

luke2012 · Sep 2, 2013

Very good work!
No way to enable posting text to FB as library function ?

JordiCP · Dec 5, 2013

Hi all!

I am using this library and works perfect! Thank you

Does any one know if it is possible to change the font used for a custom one? Perhaps with reflection, I don't know. Also background color, etc.

I need to integrate it in my app and would be really great id I could use the same font.

shashkiranr · Jan 27, 2014

Douglas Farias · Feb 20, 2014

Hi folks,

This has been raised many times on the forum, unfortunately the intent library in B4A seems to have problems placing images as attachment.

Please find attached a new share library.

This library has the option to show the share window, and I've tested it works with following:

Facebook
Twitter
Messaging
Picasa
WhatsApp
Email client

It does not work with the default GMail (Google Mail) app. I've searched online and it is an issue with GMail app itself I think (many people have raised similar issue). Will keep looking for a solution.

It also lessens down the share code for images to 2 lines

I need your help in testing this library!

Please feedback whether it works or not.

Sample code:

B4X:

Dim share As MESShareLibrary share.sharebinary("file:/" & File.DirDefaultExternal & "/Image1.png", "image/png", "Do you see this?")

Enjoy!

-Bill

Hi @ssg !
First of all : my compliments! Very good work !

I'm testing your library to share an image on :

- Google+ : OK
- Hangout : OK
- Facebook : OK (but the text doesn't appear)
- WhatsApp : OK (but the text doesn't appear)

It's possible to share the text also with Facebook & WhatsApp ?

Thank you in advance.
