Native Share for Android & iOS [Open Source]

Can you use Logcat to see if there are any meaningful error messages that pop up when you call the Share() function?

 

Unfortunately not much except for Unity exceptions and the previous posters error message:

EDIT: With yasirkula's guidance I found out that even though properly added provider in the manifest it seems like Unity didn't added it to the final build. Be it a cacheproblem or weirder (I had to move the provider line a bit up, not being in the bottom in the <application> tag). It now works and file sharing is as expected!

 

I did not tried plugin to load resources from library and obviously screenshot share as mentioned in plugin example is working perfectly fine. I do have a short 10 sec video mp4 format in Assets folder and trying to share it. But there is always following error message
File do not exist or you dont have permission
I have access to video clip object and its original path is returning same error even did tried with file:// prefix and moving video to resources folder as well but no luck
I read about saving and reading files from persistentdatapath. Is this the only way to do it ? Or am i doing something wrong ?

 

If

File.Exists(filePath)

returns false, then NativeShare can't share that file. Be aware that assets in your project are packed together while building your project, so even though every asset is a separate file in your Unity project, it is no longer the case in a built game.

If you want, you can import the video as TextAsset in your project and at runtime, save it to a temporary location in order to share it:

Code (CSharp):

1. public TextAsset video;
2.  
3. public void ShareVideo()
4. {
5.     string path = System.IO.Path.Combine( Application.temporaryCachePath, "video.mp4" );
6.     System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes( path, video.bytes );
7.  
8.     new NativeShare().AddFile( path ).Share();
9. }

To import a video as TextAsset, you need to change its extension from

.mp4

to

.bytes

.

 

Hello @yasirkula great plug in thanks a lot! It works wonders sharing my local pdf file, but was wondering is there a way to launch a direct file download ? and prevent selecting from multiple possible apps ?

 

Hi, first and foremost, thank you very much for putting your work out like this, extremely appreciated, seriously!
I'm looking around for some basic sharing from our game and this looks great. Would like to ask though, will this bring up some additional permissions or stuff like that? If so, since I want to share only a text (+link), can it be avoided?
I've read the readme, and it talks about info.plist stuff for iOS for example. The code in "NSPostProcessBuild.cs" seems to me though, that it is only required for accessing files on the device. Would it be OK if I just set "ENABLED" to false, as long as I only call "new NativeShare().SetSubject(subject).SetText(text).Share();" ?
Is Android somehow affected by any file access permissions? Thank you

 

@AlonsOh To prompt a download, I'd recommend you to use Unity's Application.OpenURL function with the download link of the file. Please let me know if I understood you wrong.

@Lad-Ty No additional permissions on Android. The PHOTO_LIBRARY_USAGE_DESCRIPTION on iOS is required when user selects the option to save the shared image/video to the Photos. In your case, as you are not sharing a file, that may not be necessary but there is no harm in keeping ENABLED as true.

 

Thanks! I'm not that well versed with iOS overall, so I guess the usage description pops out only after the app is actually trying to do something with the file system, and until then, it is ok that the info.plist contains these fields added by the NSPostProcessBuild since they won't be used in my case?
If so I'll keep enabled true, just so I don't forget it in case we were adding that functionality in the future or something

 

Yes, it won't pop up unless user selects the "Save to Photos" option in the share dialog.

 

@yasirkula ah yes, I've tried that, it doesn't work on android apparently, I read that it requires you to put the file in the some kind of persistent data path in order for the openURL to work, but still it doesn't :\ actually, haven't tried putting the file in the temporary cache just like I do to share with your plugin, maybe that'll do the trick, I'll give it a try and let you know, thank you xD

 

Nope, it didn't launch with openURL, I'll keep looking for workarounds, the file was put in `/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.mycompany.mypackage/cache/myFile.pdf` but the openURL didn't launched (no error or any other was notified through logcat)

 

I see. NativeShare isn't meant to be used as a download interface but it is possible to filter the list of applications in the share dialog via NativeShare's SetTarget function on Android. It is not possible on iOS.

 

Oh, right, I tried that too, but failed selecting the right package XD, I tried to set it to com.google.android.apps.nbu.files but it said at runtime that no app can support that, I tried with the google chrome app package too (com.google.chrome I believe) and the same thing XD

 

You can google "adb get all installed apps" and then use that method to find the package name of the app you are trying to target (I believe that the app should support receiving ACTION_SEND intents with attached files).

If you'd like to see how the app's package name is applied to the Intent: https://github.com/yasirkula/UnityNativeShare/blob/master/JAR Source/NativeShare.java#L131-L137

 

In my app, I take a screenshot, save it to the persistent data path, and from there I want to share the photo. Can I do that with this plugin?

 

Yes, you can use

new NativeShare().AddFile(imagePath).Share();

.

 

Hello yasirkula. Thanks for a great plugin, it is very simple in use and works well. But I had one problem: as I know, facebook can share only image or text, not both of them at time. When I try to share image and text, Facebook attaches image. How can I change priority to text? (using only text when it is not complex sharing and text with image normally)

 

I hear you but unfortunately there is no way to specify shared content per-app at the moment :/

 

Hi,

Have you tested it on iOS13? When we try to share image or text Activity View Controller freezes and status bar starts blinking. The same code works well on iOS12 and Android.

 

That's new. I believe that'll be hard to debug, native-side issues like this usually don't provide any useful logs, especially now considering that it works well on iOS12.

 

Hi @yasirkula . Thanks for good plugin. But I have an issue. Here's code:

Code (CSharp):

1. public Texture2D textureForSharing;
2.  
3.  
4. private IEnumerator TakeSSAndShare()
5. {
6.         yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
7.         string filePath = Path.Combine(Application.temporaryCachePath, "shared_img.png");
8.         File.WriteAllBytes(filePath, textureForSharing.EncodeToPNG());
9.  
10.         new NativeShare().AddFile(filePath).Share();
11. }

So it's work perfect at Dev build, but doesn't work at all at Release build.

Unity 2018.3.9f1
Android 8.1(Nexus 5X) - 9 (Samsung A30)

Any ideas, please?

 

Make sure that ProGuard doesn't strip out the native classes. For more info: https://github.com/yasirkula/UnityNativeShare/#faq

 

Heyo! Having a small issue with NativeShare that I was hoping you could help me with. For my program, I am trying to email a directory with all of the subdirectories attached. The folder I'm hoping to send is entitled Information, which has other folders within it, with additional files within those folders.

Here's my code so far; when I share it, the subject pops up but the body doesn't have the folder attached:

Code (CSharp):

1. public void exportAllDataButton() {
2.  
3.         new NativeShare().AddFile(Application.persistentDataPath + "/Information/").SetSubject("Export From: " + timeText.text).SetTitle("Export All Data").Share();
4.     }

I'VE FOUND A SOLUTION: POSTING HERE FOR FUTURE INQUIRIES
So, the solution. In order to send multiple files at once, I had to send the main directory file to a .zip file. To do this, I created a .cs class called compress and used ZipFile to compress the folder:

Code (CSharp):

1. //created a method to call from my main class with NativeShare
2. public void compressToZip(string startPath, string zipPath) {
3.         ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(startPath, zipPath);
4.     }

Not sure if this was necessary, but I heard that it was, so I added a csc.rsp file to my main assets folder with the code:

Code (CSharp):

1. -r:System.IO.Compression.FileSystem.dll

From here, in my native share class, I used this code:

Code (CSharp):

1. public void exportAllDataButton() {
2.         //Refresh of .zip file necessary to have multiple exports with different data
3.         if (File.Exists(Application.persistentDataPath + "/Information.zip")) {
4.             File.Delete(Application.persistentDataPath + "/Information.zip");
5.         }
6.  
7.         compressClass.compressToZip(Application.persistentDataPath + "/Information", Application.persistentDataPath + "/Information.zip");
8.         new NativeShare().AddFile(Application.persistentDataPath + "/Information.zip").SetSubject("Export From: " + timeText.text).SetTitle("Export All Data").Share();
9.     }

A final note: make sure, for both classes, to import System.IO and, for the compression class only, System.IO.Compression. I created this program targeting android; it was successfully tested on that platform.
Hope this helps!

 

@yasirkula Did something change in the plugin on iOS? It seems when we call the Share method, we get a prompt to share, but there is no image attached. Only text.

 

Not really, you can see that the last commit to the iOS script was done on Apr 26, 2018: https://github.com/yasirkula/UnityNativeShare/commits/master/Plugins/NativeShare/iOS/NativeShare.mm

Sharing images with a text can be problematic with some apps, these apps don't allow sharing such content without using their own SDKs. NativeShare doesn't use any app-specific SDK. Maybe you are encountering a similar issue? If possible, try sharing either only image or only text.

 

@yasirkula Could I ask how to share an image only? I tried doing that by changing my code:

Code (CSharp):

1. //Old Way with text
2. new NativeShare().AddFile(path,"image/jpeg").SetTarget(target).SetTitle("Share Picture").SetSubject(subject)).SetText(text).Share();
3.                
4. //New way with image only, does not work
5. new NativeShare().AddFile(path,"image/jpeg").SetTarget(target).Share();

But it does not work on iOS.

 

Yes that's the way to do it. Which iOS app doesn't accept images? Did it accept images before?

P.S. You can continue using SetTitle, it won't affect the outcome.

 

Ah, I think for some reason it can't find the path at which I'm saving the image. I'm using NativeGallery to take a screenshot.

 

Can I see the relevant parts of your code? Especially the part where you retrieve the screenshot's path via NativeGallery would be useful.

 

We call this in a MonoBehaviour after taking a screenshot of the game's camera which works:

Code (CSharp):

1. Texture2D _saveImage = GetTextureFromScreenshot();
2. var result = SaveImageToGallery(_saveImage, selfieFileName, (path) =>
3. {
4.         #if UNITY_IOS
5.             new NativeShare().AddFile(path,"image/jpeg").Share();
6.         #else
7.             new NativeShare().AddFile(path,"image/jpeg").SetTarget(target).SetTitle("Share Picture").SetSubject(shareText).SetText(link).Share();
8.         #endif
9. });

We call the SaveImageToGallery():

Code (CSharp):

1.  public static NativeGallery.Permission SaveImageToGallery(Texture2D texture2D, string title, Action<string> onComplete)
2.     {
3.         return NativeGallery.SaveImageToGallery(texture2D, "SelfieAlbum", title, (error, path) =>
4.         {
5.             if (path != null)
6.             {
7.               onComplete(path);
8.             }
9.             if (error != null)
10.             {
11.                 Debug.LogError(error);
12.             }
13.  
14.         });
15.     }

Which continuing down the method hierarchy gets to this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  private static Permission SaveToGallery(byte[] mediaBytes, string album, string filenameFormatted, bool isImage, MediaSaveCallback callback)
2.     {
3.         if (mediaBytes == null || mediaBytes.Length == 0)
4.             throw new ArgumentException("Parameter 'mediaBytes' is null or empty!");
5.  
6.         if (album == null || album.Length == 0)
7.             throw new ArgumentException("Parameter 'album' is null or empty!");
8.  
9.         if (filenameFormatted == null || filenameFormatted.Length == 0)
10.             throw new ArgumentException("Parameter 'filenameFormatted' is null or empty!");
11.  
12.         var result = RequestPermission();
13.         // If we don't have permission, save to persistent data path
14.         // overwrite last save
15.         string path = (result == Permission.Granted) ? GetSavePath(album, filenameFormatted) : Application.persistentDataPath + "/scratch.jpg";
16.  
17.         // Save Image to Hard Drive in the Editor & Windows PC
18. #if UNITY_EDITOR || (!UNITY_EDITOR && UNITY_STANDALONE_WIN)
19.  
20.         string directory = Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
21.         if (!Directory.Exists(directory))
22.         {
23.             Directory.CreateDirectory(directory);
24.         }
25.  
26. #endif
27.  
28.         File.WriteAllBytes(path, mediaBytes);
29.  
30.         // if we don't have access to gallery, store in persistent data instead
31.         if (result == Permission.Granted)
32.         {
33.             SaveToGalleryInternal(path, album, isImage, callback);
34.         }
35.         else
36.         {
37.             callback(null, path);
38.         }
39.  
40.         return result;
41.     }

 

On iOS,

string path = GetSavePath(...)

is used only temporarily since the Photos app internally copies the image to its own private storage. That's why NativeGallery doesn't return a filepath in a callback, it is not possible to retrieve the path of an image in Photos, it is an internal path. NativeGallery deletes the temporary file located at

path

after it is no longer needed, you can see the removeItemAtPath lines here: https://github.com/yasirkula/UnityN...er/Plugins/NativeGallery/iOS/NativeGallery.mm

In conclusion, you may want to write the texture's bytes to a temporary file at a path like

Application.temporaryCachePath + "/image.jpg"

and then share this file.

 

I'll try that and tell you how it goes. Thanks for that info.

 

@yasirkula I am using iOS 13, latest beta. When I want to share a video it sometimes crashes, sometimes not. Anything I can do?

 

Are there any meaningful error messages in Xcode console? Does this also happen on a fresh new Unity project? What about while sharing only a text?

 

It doesn't work and these error messages come up:

Help would be greatly appreciated as I need to ship a prototype soon

 

Are you calling NativeShare.Share() from a separate thread? Does trying the example code on a fresh new project also yield the same result? Can you enable "Development Build" to see if the error messages show any stacktrace?

 

Thanks a lot! The seperate thread fixed it. I didn't know that was necessary.

 

Actually, calling the Share function from a separate thread was the thing I was suggesting you to avoid as it can result in crashes. I'm surprised to hear that using a separate thread has worked for you :O

 

Okay, interesting. Why is it in the example code then?

 

Example code doesn't use a separate thread, it calls the Share function from the main thread.

 

Hello sir, Thank you very much for your plug in. I am experiencing some problems with using it though, My Unity 2019.1.8f1 cant seem to detect the NativeShare() type when i am using your code.
I have ensured that I made the appropriate Android setup from https://github.com/yasirkula/UnityNativeShare#android-setup
and when I use the example code, I am getting an error on my text editor
"
Assets\Vuforia\Scripts\Screenshot\ShareScript.cs(30,13): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'NativeShare' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) " please help!

 

Are you using an Assembly Definition asset in your Vuforia directory? Try moving

ShareScript.cs

to

Assets\ShareScript.cs

and see if it changes anything.

 

It works now! Thank you so much for your help! May i know why does it not work when it is in the inner folder?

 

I'm guessing that the scripts inside the Vuforia directory (assembly A) are compiled before the scripts inside the Plugins directory (which contains NativeShare, assembly B). If A is compiled before B and A has no explicit reference to B (AFAIK, specified inside the Assembly Definition asset), then scripts in A can't access scripts in B.

 

@yasirkula hi, thanks for this plugin. great plugin man. can i ask whether this plugin capable to connect with bluetooth printer?

 

I've never tried it. It creates an

ACTION_SEND

intent on Android and

UIActivityViewController

on iOS. If those support bluetooth printer, then this plugin should be capable of connection to the printer.

 

When I use ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenShot(filename); and then NativeShare.AddFile(Path.Combine(Application.persistentDatapath, filename), I could not share the image eventhough the destination was correct, but writing bytes[] like your demo worked... so what is the issue here?

 

From ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenShot:

Basically, the screenshot doesn't yet exist at the path when you call the Share function.

 

Hey, I don't have any questions or problems, but I dropped Native Share into my project today and it works, and you're in here giving support on your free thing for over a year, so thank you and great work!

 

Much appreciated
