B4A Library Share Library - Beta!

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:

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

Enjoy!

Dim share As MESShareLibrary

Thanks for this library. In the method:

 sharebinary (p_path As String, p_type As String, p_msg As String, p_textval As String)

could you tell me the different values for p_type?
audio/<extension>
image/<extension>
...
¿what more?

any chance to update this lib? i think this is the most important lib for marketing on this forum

Question:
My app shares jpeg images, and is able to receive jpeg images from other app.
So when I call share.sharebinary(...) in my app, my app is shown as one of the target apps.

How do I exclude my own app from the choices of app receiving the image?

If it's not possible to this with this library, how do I do this with intent?

@ssg thanks for this great library, is there anyway to share link or text instead of image file, like me many others are already asking for the similar question?

I test the code with littel change ............but the problem is not share for facebook or whatapp or other ?

 

[merlin2049er]

I'll try this with an html page. I"d like to share it with an email or post it on facebook.

 

[merlin2049er]

Great, it gave me a few options: evernote, email, gmail, drive... no facebook.

What is the last parameter ? p_textval

Sent it as a gmail attachment no problems.

Thanks @ssg !
Summary of my tests:
- Gmail/mail: ok
- Whatsup: ok
- Evernote: ok
- Google+: ok
- Hangout: ok
- Facebook: only image, no text
- Phone default sms apk: only image, no text

Please, if someone managed to send Text + Image to FaceBook, post the solution here!
