I have a view controller containing a UIWebView
and a toolbar with an action/share button. This initializes and presents a UIActivityViewController
object. Depending on whether I supply the activityItems
parameter with either the web view's URL
or the URL's corresponding absoluteString
, different actions are offered, but the Print option is never shown (nor offered in the "more" section).
I do know how to print the web view contents explicitly using UIPrintInfo
and UIPrintInteractionController
, but that would be a separate toolbar button whereas I want to simply include the system's Print option into the activity button row. I assume printing a web view does not need any explicit coding.
What can I do?
You can create Custom Activity For UIActivityCotnroller like this,
import UIKit
protocol CustomActivityDelegate : NSObjectProtocol
{
func performActionCompletion(actvity: CustomActivity)
}
class CustomActivity: UIActivity {
var delegate: CustomActivityDelegate?
override class var activityCategory: UIActivityCategory {
return .action
}
override var activityType: UIActivityType? {
guard let bundleId = Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier else {return nil}
return UIActivityType(rawValue: bundleId + "\(self.classForCoder)")
}
override var activityTitle: String? {
return "You title"
}
override var activityImage: UIImage? {
return <Your activity image >
}
override func canPerform(withActivityItems activityItems: [Any]) -> Bool {
return true
}
override func prepare(withActivityItems activityItems: [Any]) {
//
}
override func perform() {
self.delegate?.performActionCompletion(actvity: self)
activityDidFinish(true)
}
}
You can initialize this activity some thing like this
let customActivity = CustomActivity()
customActivity.delegate = self
And you can add this custom activity while preparing UIActivityController
let activityViewController : UIActivityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: [customActivity], applicationActivities: nil)
and you will also need to implement the call back method
func performActionCompletion(actvity: CustomActivity)
{
//Perform you task
}
