iOS Question [Solved] Share data ActivityViewController iOS 14

[angel_]

To share data I use this:

Share data from your app with ActivityViewController

ActivityViewController allows the user to share data from your app using the standard share dialog. It was added in iPhone library v2.00. Using it is simple. You need to initialize AVC with one or more items that you want to share and call show: Sub Page1_Click Dim avc As...

www.b4x.com

But I have problems with iOS 14, it doesn't appear the window to send data. Any idea?

All that I can say is that ActivityViewController does work with iOS 14.

You can see the B4X Pleroma client app for an example. It is available in the store.

With pleroma the same error happens. Apparently it only happens on the iPad

I have the same issue in B4XPleroma with my IPad, on the iphone it works.

The Show method of the ActivityViewController should point to a button (instead of a panel) to work properly on iPads. You can either use an existing button on your page or create a new one (I used a special button without text or function and with a transparent background color).

    Dim avc As ActivityViewController
    Dim files As List
    files.Initialize
    files.Add(CreateFileUrl(tersShareDirectory, sFilenameGPX))
    files.Add(CreateFileUrl(tersShareDirectory, sFilenamePLFTER))
    avc.Initialize("avc", files)
    avc.Show(PageMapList, btnACV)

Just checked on an iPad with iOS 14.2 and it still works:

Will check it...

It is fixed in the pleroma app (not released yet). It is indeed a mistake to pass the root panel.

Then I can't use Label or Panel?

You can use a label or panel, but not one in the background.
