I'm a beginner on Xamarin ant try to create simple app with Xamarin.forms. Now i need to add share button (square + arrow like on Safari on iPhone) to my App. As I know that Android and IOS are differant so that I use DependencyService. It works good on Android using Intent but can't do it on IOS. can you help me please. thanks all, this is my code
PCL
var x = DependencyService.Get<IShareable>();
x.ShareText("any text to share");
Android
public void ShareText(string textToShear)
{
var myIntent = new Intent(Android.Content.Intent.ActionSend);
myIntent.SetType("text/plain");
myIntent.PutExtra("sms_body", textToShear);
Forms.Context.StartActivity(Intent.CreateChooser(myIntent,"Choose an App"));
}
IOS
public void ShareText(string textToShear)
{
//what i should do
}
You want to use UIActivityViewController.
It will look something like this:
public void ShareText(string textToShare)
{
var activityController = new UIActivityViewController(new NSObject[] { UIActivity.FromObject(textToShare) }, null);
UIApplication.SharedApplication.KeyWindow.RootViewController.PresentViewController(activityController, true, null);
}
