Android Send Intent (Share)

Neildo64 · January 31, 2014 at 4:19 PM

For some reason, I can not seem to get a SEND intent to work. At best, I can get a custom titled chooser box with no options. I am using the Android object, starting an intent. I have tried passing android.intent.action.ACTION_SEND, android.intent.action.ACTION_SENDTO, as well as a number of other things with all sorts of combinations of URIs, but it just doesn't seem to do anything. EDIT: Logcat does say "no activity found to handle intent". Permissions are fine. I have checked anything and everything relevant to no avail.

I've even tried using Stephen's Android Email extension (Please login to see this link.), but it causes the app to freeze and crash if you cancel the Email popup without choosing to run something, and it doesn't have the flexibility I am looking for.

If I am just doing something wrong here, will someone please tell me what that is and tell me how to do it correctly? From what I'm noticing, it looks like the intents just don't work, but I hope that isn't the case.

under permissions you need to enable "Internet"

Sorry, I forgot to mention, I already have the internet permission checked.

Sparckman, have you successfully implemented this? I'm still trying to get this working. I have been trying in MMF2 and F2.5. It looks like you took that screenshot from a project that sends an e-mail. If that is the case, how is that being achieved?

Bump. I am still trying to get this to work to no avail. I would really appreciate some assistance from anyone who has successfully implemented a SEND intent. If this feature is just broken, that would also be great to know, but I'm pretty sure others are doing it without problems.

Thanks,
Ulisses.

The Intent is: android.intent.action.SEND i think.

like ACTION_DIAL is android.intent.action.DIAL

I'm stuck at URI

Yeah, I couldn't get this to work either? I followed googles offical rules for this and nothing happened.. can someone post an example of this working??

Thanks Fernando!
I was having troubles figuring out how to share to Facebook. It appears the Facebook app doesn't allow you to prefill the post with the extra string "android.intent.extra.TEXT" , which makes the share intent useless!

However after a bit of googling, i saw this topic: Please login to see this link.
which explains that the Android Facebook app wont let you add plain text to the extra string. You can however share a URL and it will prefill it in the facebook app!

Been trying to figure out this for sometime, now i can finally share to facebook from my game and share a link to the google play listing!

Fernando: If you want to say launch the Facebook application using intents WITHOUT a chooser, how can this be done. Can you tell the intents to launch a specific app package?
Also is there a way to determine whether the user went through and launched an application from the chooser, eg test if it was successful/not?

Fernando · May 19, 2014 at 2:14 PM

If you use SEND it will point to the apks specific for this (registered in the system). opposite if you use SENDTO, but i can not point specific to an application not matter if the choose is use it or not.

Intents are driven by the OS

SevenT2 · May 21, 2014 at 12:39 AM

Thanks man, i'll try this out tonight!

How to open the created screenshot in the gallery? Or pass on to share?

Fernando · May 24, 2014 at 6:46 PM

you may use the new android camera object

WhiteEyeDesign · May 24, 2014 at 7:21 PM

And how i open a screenshot there? With "Select from gallery"?

Fernando · May 25, 2014 at 1:24 AM

exactly!

read the full path of the image and use in your share or email

at the end gallery is an image selector plus

WhiteEyeDesign · May 25, 2014 at 9:39 AM

I don't get it. How do i read the image path. With "Select from gallery" i can only say 0=All, 1=Pictures, 2=Videos.
A code example would be nice.

I try somthing like "On "Share" Button clicked... then it should open the befor taken screenshot with the gallery App.
