I tried to share Url, for instance,deeplink:// via default iphone Email.But unfortunately,the link doesn't turn as hyperlink mode so that it can be clickable and directed to the specified location.So please kindly help me for the below code.
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"deeplink://"]];
NSArray * activityItems = #[url];
NSArray * applicationActivities = nil;
NSArray * excludeActivities = #[UIActivityTypeAssignToContact, UIActivityTypeCopyToPasteboard, UIActivityTypePostToWeibo, UIActivityTypePrint, UIActivityTypeMessage];
UIActivityViewController * activityController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:activityItems applicationActivities:applicationActivities];
activityController.excludedActivityTypes = excludeActivities;
[self presentViewController:activityController animated:YES completion:nil];
Custom URI schemes are not a valid solution for this. As you discovered, they are not recognized as links in many situations, but there are other more serious issues too. Read this answer for more information

I'm trying to share a URL so that URL should be opened in Safari or any web browser but unable to do so. I have Sent that to my MAC and MAC opening it as text file and then by clicking on that i'm going to safari but in case of iPhone i'm struggling to open it.In case of NSURL my app crashes with some exception. Here is my code
NSString *url=#"www.google.com";
UIActivityViewController *controller = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:#[url] applicationActivities:nil];
// Exclude all activities except AirDrop.
NSArray *excludedActivities = #[UIActivityTypePostToTwitter, UIActivityTypePostToFacebook,
UIActivityTypePostToWeibo,
UIActivityTypeMessage, UIActivityTypeMail,
UIActivityTypePrint, UIActivityTypeCopyToPasteboard,
UIActivityTypeAssignToContact, UIActivityTypeSaveToCameraRoll,
UIActivityTypeAddToReadingList, UIActivityTypePostToFlickr,
UIActivityTypePostToVimeo, UIActivityTypePostToTencentWeibo];
controller.excludedActivityTypes = excludedActivities;
// Present the controller
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
Change this line:
NSString *url=#"www.google.com";
to:
NSURL *url= [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://www.google.com"];
If this doesn't work for you because of a crash it's likely a problem elsewhere, but make the crash report available and maybe I can help.
UIImage * imageShare = [UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:trackImagePath]]];
NSURL *urlLink = [NSURL URLWithString:linkstr];
SharingActivityProvider * share = [[SharingActivityProvider alloc]initWithPlaceholderItem:#"Ghaneely Share!"];
share.sharelink = urlLink;
share.sharelinkText = shareString;
NSArray *objectsToShare = #[imageShare,share];
activityVC = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:objectsToShare applicationActivities:nil];
NSArray *excludeActivities = #[UIActivityTypePostToWeibo,UIActivityTypePrint,UIActivityTypeSaveToCameraRoll,UIActivityTypeAssignToContact,UIActivityTypeAirDrop];
activityVC.excludedActivityTypes = excludeActivities;
[self presentViewController:activityVC animated:TRUE completion:nil];
I want to share text and image (both) on WhatsApp just like Android by using UIActivityController. It used to work before when I used share without SharingActivityProvider. But I need to post different text on facebook, twitter,etc ,hence I am using ActivityProvider(which I think should not be the problem). Now with the code above it is sharing only image.
What could be the issue?
From this way you can share text and video to whatsapp :-
NSString *URLString=#"http://video.app.com/video.php?";
NSURL *VideoURL=[NSURL URLWithString:#“URLString ”];
NSMutableArray *activityItems= [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:VideoURL,#"Hey, check out this video I've shared with you, it's awesome!", result1, nil];
self.activityViewController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:activityItems applicationActivities:nil];
self.activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = #[UIActivityTypePostToWeibo,UIActivityTypePrint,
UIActivityTypeCopyToPasteboard,UIActivityTypeAssignToContact,
UIActivityTypeSaveToCameraRoll,UIActivityTypeAddToReadingList,
UIActivityTypePostToFlickr,UIActivityTypePostToVimeo,
UIActivityTypePostToTencentWeibo,UIActivityTypeAirDrop];
[self presentViewController:self.activityViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
try this may be it will help you.
I am using UIActivityViewController to share my iOS app.
When WhatsApp is selected from the list of options, it takes me to the proper screen. I can move around, and all the buttons work.
However, once I select a recipient, WhatsApp freezes.
Does anyone know what's going on here? Has anyone encountered this bug before?
EDIT (Code Added)
Here's the code I'm using to call the UIActivityViewController:
- (void) sharePressed:(UIBarButtonItem *)sender {
NSString* shareText = #"Hello World!";
UIActivityViewController *controller = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:#[shareText] applicationActivities:nil];
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
NSLog(#"This method ran: sharePressed");
}
It's as basic as it gets. It works for everything except WhatsApp.
try this code
- (IBAction)shareButton:(UIBarButtonItem *)sender
{
NSString *textToShare = #"Look at this awesome website for aspiring iOS Developers!";
NSURL *myWebsite = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.codingexplorer.com/"];
NSArray *objectsToShare = #[textToShare, myWebsite];
UIActivityViewController *activityVC = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:objectsToShare applicationActivities:nil];
NSArray *excludeActivities = #[UIActivityTypeAirDrop,
UIActivityTypePrint,
UIActivityTypeAssignToContact,
UIActivityTypeSaveToCameraRoll,
UIActivityTypeAddToReadingList,
UIActivityTypePostToFlickr,
UIActivityTypePostToVimeo];
activityVC.excludedActivityTypes = excludeActivities;
[self presentViewController:activityVC animated:YES completion:nil];
}
I think the error was actually an internal problem with either whatsapp or UIActivityViewController because my other apps that use UIActivityViewController couldn't share on whatsApp last night. This morning though, even though I didn't change anything in my code, everything works perfectly!
I think is a bug in WhatsApp after yesterday update.
Update: You can send an NSUrl instead of NSString.
I have a basic UIActivityViewController sharing some text and a URL. The sharing options are Email, SMS, Twitter, and Facebook. Everything works fine in iOS 6 but in iOS 7 when I choose Twitter or Facebook, without touching anything my device automatically closes my app, opens Safari and goes to the URL I am trying to share. What could be causing this?
Code (CustomActivityItemProvider is a subclass to customize text based on sharer):
if ([UIActivityViewController class]) { // if class exists = ios6+
// Create array for sharing
CustomActivityItemProvider *textToShare = [[CustomActivityItemProvider alloc]
initWithStandardText:#"Text to share.\n"];
NSURL *urlToShare = iTunesShort ? iTunesShort : [NSURL URLWithString:iTunesLink];
NSArray *activityItems = #[textToShare, urlToShare];
// Show sharing view
UIActivityViewController *activityVC = [[UIActivityViewController alloc]
initWithActivityItems:activityItems applicationActivities:nil];
activityVC.excludedActivityTypes = #[UIActivityTypePrint, UIActivityTypeCopyToPasteboard,
UIActivityTypeAssignToContact, UIActivityTypeSaveToCameraRoll];
[self presentViewController:activityVC animated:TRUE completion:nil];
}
So I still don't know why only shortened URLs were causing this problem, but a solution that took care of it was to include the urlToShare in the textToShare.
// Create array for sharing
NSString *urlToShare = iTunesShort ? iTunesShort : iTunesLink;
NSString *textWithUrl = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Text to share.\n%#", urlToShare];
CustomActivityItemProvider *textToShare = [[CustomActivityItemProvider alloc]
initWithStandardText:textWithUrl];
NSArray *activityItems = #[textToShare];
How do I send an email using UIActivityViewController with a quick message and a link? I have tried using an NSURL:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://google.com/"];
And an NSString:
// String with Hyperlink syntax
NSString *stringURLHyperlink = #"Google";
// Plain text link out of desperation.
NSString *stringURLPlain = #"http://google.com/";
I am not using a custom UIActivity. The NSString/NSURL are being sent as activityItems:
NSArray *activityItems = #[link];
UIActivityViewController *activityViewController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:activityItems applicationActivities:nil];
Thanks everyone.
EDIT 1:
My apologies, I should have made my question clearer. How can I send a message and a clickable link in an email using UIActivityViewController?
This seems to work fine in iOS 7:
[[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:#[#"<html><body><b>This is a bold string</b><br\\>Check out this amazing site: <a href='http://apple.com'>Apple</a></body></html>"] applicationActivities:nil];
If you share an object that conforms to the UIActivityItemSource protocol, then you will be able to specify what the email's subject should be too!
tl;dr: Use basic html in an NSString to wrap the desired email contents
In my case, I did not need to post a photo as long as an image was retrieved from the link I needed to share (just like when you post a link on your Facebook timeline and it automatically grabs a picture from that link, and the picture becomes the link). In order to do that, I figured out that if I posted only an URL it does not work. You have to post some initial text and then the URL, and you do so by putting the objects in that order within the activityItems array.
This is my working code:
NSArray * activityItems = #[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Some initial text."], [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.google.com"]];
NSArray * applicationActivities = nil;
NSArray * excludeActivities = #[UIActivityTypeAssignToContact, UIActivityTypeCopyToPasteboard, UIActivityTypePostToWeibo, UIActivityTypePrint, UIActivityTypeMessage];
UIActivityViewController * activityController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:activityItems applicationActivities:applicationActivities];
activityController.excludedActivityTypes = excludeActivities;
[self presentViewController:activityController animated:YES completion:nil];
I also noticed that if you post a photo along these objects, it will not retrieve any image from the link.
I hope this helps.
