We have a requirement to show an acknoldgement screen after user share some texts on Messaging apps such as Whatsapp, Telegram, SMS etc..
We have been using the react-native-share library for this and it works fine on non Huawei devices. However, Huawei devices doesn't return success/failure when user share hence the app gives issues on Huawei devices.
Upon checking the react-native-share library internal codes, it seems the BroadcastReceiver onReceive method does not get triggered when user choose and app on HuaweiChooser.
I created the following sample code to simulate this and on Non-Huawei devices this code's onReceive method get triggered but not in Huawei devices.
Appreciate any help regarding this.
This is the Sample code
MainActivity.java
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentSender;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button shareButton = findViewById(R.id.button);
shareButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent chooser;
IntentSender intentSender = MyReceiver.getIntentSender(getApplicationContext());
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is my text to send.");
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1) {
chooser = Intent.createChooser(sendIntent,"Sharing Rocks",intentSender);
chooser.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
}else{
chooser = Intent.createChooser(sendIntent,"Sharing Rocks");
}
startActivityForResult(chooser, 1234);
}
});
}
}
Receiver.Java
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.ComponentName;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentFilter;
import android.content.IntentSender;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static MyReceiver myReceiver;
private static final String EXTRA_RECEIVER_TOKEN = "receiver_token";
public static IntentSender getIntentSender(Context context){
String intentAction = context.getPackageName()+"_ACTION";
myReceiver = new MyReceiver();
context.registerReceiver(myReceiver, new IntentFilter(intentAction));
Intent intent = new Intent(intentAction);
intent.setPackage(context.getPackageName());
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_RECEIVER_TOKEN,myReceiver.hashCode());
PendingIntent callback = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
return callback.getIntentSender();
}
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
System.out.println("//// Inside onReceive");
ComponentName target = intent.getParcelableExtra(Intent.EXTRA_CHOSEN_COMPONENT);
System.out.println("//// target : " + target);
}
}

</manifest>
I change chooser title with "null" and my problem solved.
val chooser = if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1) {
Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, null, pendingIntent.intentSender)
} else {
Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, null)
}
