I have some files that want to share with any application. I use this code
var fileDAta = NSData.FromFile(path);
UIActivityViewController activityViewController = new UIActivityViewController
(new NSObject[]{ fileDAta }, null); //(items, null);
PresentViewController(activityViewController,true,null);
As you see, it should be more application but as a default, there is just the Mail App. it is the same for real device.. (I also installed Gmail and Outlook but there is not on the list or on the more list)
Anyway,when i select the Mail, it cannot be attached ..
What I should change?
Use the following code for sharing but remember respective applications(gmail,twitter etc) for sharing must be installed on your device and configured.
UIActivityViewController *activityVC = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems: fileDAta applicationActivities:nil];
activityVC.excludedActivityTypes = #[UIActivityTypePrint, UIActivityTypeCopyToPasteboard, UIActivityTypeAssignToContact, UIActivityTypeSaveToCameraRoll]; //or whichever you don't need
[self presentViewController:activityVC animated:YES completion:nil];

I have a share button in my app on which when user click it shows a popup message to share the link of my application to different social sites, but when u click it shows only Facebook icon to share the link.How can I get different other sites access like Gmail, Twitter, Instagram, Yahoo and WhatsApp. This is my code
NSString *texttoshare = #"myURL"; //this is your text string to share
NSArray *activityItems = #[texttoshare];
UIActivityViewController *activityVC = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:activityItems applicationActivities:nil];
activityVC.excludedActivityTypes = #[UIActivityTypeAssignToContact, UIActivityTypePrint];
[self presentViewController:activityVC animated:TRUE completion:nil];
I have some trouble with create native share dialog.
My goal is share link of my product by native view controller, but I can't do it. I'm trying test code:
NSURL *google = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://google.com"];
NSArray *activityItems = #[google];
UIActivity *activity = [UIActivity new];
UIActivityViewController *activityViewControntroller = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:activityItems applicationActivities:#[activity]];
activityViewControntroller.excludedActivityTypes = #[];
[self presentViewController:activityViewControntroller animated:true completion:nil];
And I get no FB and twitter icons. In the other hand, I can see it in safari both icons and when I'm touching it I see "You need configure your account before post".
So, I want the same behavior: icons for all most-popular social networks such as VK, FB, twitter; messengers like whatsapp, viber and telegram. If some of them is not installed I want dialog "You have to log in before" and redirect to safari (e.g. for FB) to log in or open appstore (e.g. for telegram or viber) to install; otherwise I want post message with my link.
I see it like this: exclude all types from activity vc, than forcibly add all icons I need and check each of them on click manually. But in apple docs I've read that "you have to use native behavior for native items instead of create custom". So, will it be correct? Or there are other ways to solve this?
Try this
-(void)clickShare:(UIButton *)sender{
NSArray * activityItems = #[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Some initial text."], [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.google.com"]];
NSArray * applicationActivities = nil;
NSArray * excludeActivities = #[];
UIActivityViewController * activityController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:activityItems applicationActivities:applicationActivities];
activityController.excludedActivityTypes = excludeActivities;
[self presentViewController:activityController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
this code working in my project.
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'm trying to share an image and text.
But when i'm trying to share using whatsapp i dont see the image and it doesnt get sent (i do see it when i'm trying to share to facebook or mail...).
Whats going on?
- (void)shareImage:(UIImage *)image
{
NSString *sharedMsg=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Hello world"];
UIImage* sharedImg=image;
NSArray* sharedObjects=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:sharedMsg, sharedImg, nil];
UIActivityViewController *activityViewController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc]
initWithActivityItems:sharedObjects applicationActivities:nil];
activityViewController.popoverPresentationController.sourceView = self.view;
[self presentViewController:activityViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
#ozd,
if image Share then

JBWhatsAppActivity Library: https://github.com/jberlana/JBWhatsAppActivity
using Below Code You can share Text , Link..etc, may be helpful to you.
WhatsAppMessage *whatsappMsg = [[WhatsAppMessage alloc] initWithMessage:#"Hey , I would like you to experience this fabulous app which helps you to create , store and share your MOMENTS. You can add your voice message to every photo and moments too !!!\n\nDownload the app from https://play.google.com/store?hl=en" forABID:#""];
NSArray *applicationActivities = #[[[JBWhatsAppActivity alloc] init]];
NSArray *excludedActivities = #[UIActivityTypePrint, UIActivityTypePostToWeibo, UIActivityTypeMessage];
NSArray *activityItems = #[#"Hey , I would like you to experience this fabulous app which helps you to create , store and share your MOMENTS. You can add your voice message to every photo and moments too !!!\n\nDownload the app from https://play.google.com/store?hl=en", whatsappMsg];
UIActivityViewController *activityViewController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:activityItems applicationActivities:applicationActivities];
activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = excludedActivities;
[self presentViewController:activityViewController animated:YES completion:^{}];
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];
