Native Share for Android & iOS [Open Source]

Hey, Your plugin is great.

I just wanted to ask incase you know, is there any way to share to just a single individual? Native sharing allows you to share too many but in my use case i want to restrict the user and only send to one recipient. I looked and native sharing plugin doesn't seem to do this, and I wouldn't really expect it to, i was just wondering if you know of any other methods or plugins I might be able to use to do that?

Thanks again for the plugin.

 

You might have to use app-specific SDKs like Facebook SDK for this. But I don't really know any details about this topic.

 

Yeah, that's what I feared. I was hoping you could just set a max recipients variable in native code somewhere. Thanks though.

 

@yasirkula . i have used the native image to gallery. It is working fine. I am using the below code.

NativeGallery.SaveImageToGallery(tex, Application.productName + "Screenshots", name);

            Debug.Log("Permission result: " + NativeGallery.SaveImageToGallery(tex, Application.productName + " Captures", name));

the image is saving twice in my gallery.

In your script nativegallery.cs the below line is called twice. I think this is the reason for saving twice. so how can i avoid two times saving my image gallery..

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. NativeGallery.SaveImageToGallery(tex, Application.productName + "Screenshots", name);
3.             Debug.Log("Permission result: " + NativeGallery.SaveImageToGallery(tex, Application.productName + " Captures", name));
4.             var bytes = tex.EncodeToPNG();
5.             File.WriteAllBytes(Application.dataPath + "/Gallery/fooya.png", bytes);  filePath = string.Format("{0}_Capture{1}_{2}.png", Application.productName, "{0}", System.DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss"));
6.  

Code (CSharp):

1. NativeGallery.SaveImageToGallery(tex, Application.productName + "Screenshots", name);
2.             Debug.Log("Permission result: " + NativeGallery.SaveImageToGallery(tex, Application.productName + " Captures", name));
3.             var bytes = tex.EncodeToPNG();
4.             File.WriteAllBytes(Application.dataPath + "/Gallery/fooya.png", bytes);
5.  
6. Debug.Log( "SaveToGallery called successfully in the Editor" );
7.  
8. private static Permission SaveToGallery( string existingMediaPath, string album, string filename, MediaType mediaType, MediaSaveCallback callback )
9.  
10. private static Permission SaveToGallery( byte[] mediaBytes, string album, string filename, MediaType mediaType, MediaSaveCallback callback )
11.     {

can you give some suggestions...

 

Each time you call NativeGallery.SaveImageToGallery, the image will be saved to gallery. So, it is two saves: one to the Screenshots album and the other to the Captures album.

 

@yasirkula thanks for your reply. In my mobile ...

Debug.Log("Permission result: " + NativeGallery.SaveImageToGallery(tex, Application.productName + " Captures", name));

i have removed this code. now it is saving once...

Actually i have to crop the image... Whole screen is capturing .... I have tried many code for croping the image. . But not working fine. can you post some code... It is very helpful for all ... it boosts your sharing plugin...

 

If you want the user to crop the image, see: https://forum.unity.com/threads/rel...pping-solution-with-oval-mask-support.526901/. Otherwise, please google "unity screenshot partial area".

 

@yasikula actually i dont want to add any plugin for solutions. I have tried unity screenshot partial area... but i did not get best solutions. ...i am trying .. if got i will post the code..

 

Hi @yasikula, I have two questions:

1- I know that it has been already asked but is there any way to check when the user come back to the app after sharing anything with te plugin, like a callback ?

2- Is there any way to set the share on an specific app like gmail (to send a email) on both platforms IOS and Android ?

Thanks! And really appreciate what you have done!

 

1) There is no callback, sorry.
2) Please see the FAQ on the main post.

 

Hello, first tell you that your plugin is great!
and I ask you a question, everything works perfect for me, but I can't share an audio file, I saw many possible solutions in many messages but I can't do it, could you explain it in detail if it's not too much trouble?
a million thanks!

 

No additional setup needed for audio files, they should just work. You can try omitting SetText and SetSubject functions if you are using them. You can also try setting the mime parameter of AddFile as "audio/*".

 

Hello everyone,
I´m using Proguard. Where do I add -keep class com.yasirkula.unity.* { *; } ?
Thank you!

 

Reference: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-gradle-overview.html

 

Thank you for your reply! Then it still was not possible to share the screenshot... The logcat said: Can´t find ContentProvider, share not possible! So I had to add the provider to the xml again. Now it´s working!
Thank you very much!

 

In the latest versions of the plugin, the provider should automatically be added to the AndroidManifest at build time but regardless, happy to hear that all is well!

 

Hi,

Using this asset for an app. Just works with iOS out of box. But, on android no share windows opened. I get the following catlog debug:

What should I look at to fix to make it work with my setup?

 

@yasirkula yes it´s only working with the manually added provider. Thank you for helping

 

@SinDeSiecle If you are using ProGuard Minification, please see the corresponding FAQ entry in the main post.

 

This is my code to share audio, will I be doing something wrong?

filePath = Path.Combine(Application.streamingAssetsPath, "1.wav");
new NativeShare().AddFile(filePath, "audio/*").Share();

or
new NativeShare().AddFile("Assets/Sounds/1.ogg", "audio/*").Share();

 

You can't access files inside streamingAssetsPath directly on Android; please see this post for a workaround: https://forum.unity.com/threads/native-share-for-android-ios-open-source.519865/page-8#post-5249957

 

Now yes, it works perfect, thank you very much and sorry for the trouble!

 

Solved my problem by re-importing...

 

Hi @yasirkula
Thank you for your amazing plugin. But I have a question:
I don't want to share on Twitter. Can I hide Twitter icon in list social apps?

 

Although it is not possible with NativeShare on Android, it is possible to exclude apps from share sheet on iOS: https://forum.unity.com/threads/native-share-for-android-ios-open-source.519865/page-4#post-4011874

 

Hi @yasikula:

Is there any way to set multiple email adresses to send ?

Thanks! And really appreciate what you have done!

 

NativeShare doesn't support this feature, sorry.

 

Hi, is it possiple to share to tik-tok?

 

If Tik-Tok has integration with native share dialog, then it should be possible. I haven't tried it out myself, though.

 

Thank you, for such an immediate reply!

 

Hi @yasirkula
I use NativeGallery and NativeShare together.
But when I save image or video to device gallery and I want to share it but I don't how to get filePath in device gallery??
Hope you answer soon. Thank you so much.

 

Fetching path is not possible, please see the FAQ: https://forum.unity.com/threads/native-gallery-for-android-ios-open-source.519619/. You need to keep a separate copy of the image in e.g. temporaryCachePath and share it instead. If you are using SaveImageToGallery with an existingMediaPath, then you can simply share the file at existingMediaPath since NativeGallery simply copies the file to Gallery, not moves it.

EDIT: Corrected FAQ link.

 

Hi yasirkula,

is it possible add cc to email

like this new NativeShare().AddFile(filePath).SetTarget(
com.google.android.gm).SetCC("random@xyz.com")SetText(mBody).Share();

 

NativeShare doesn't have any e-mail specific functionalities, sorry.

 

Hi @yasirkula

When I share on SNS, I want to change something like image I have attached below:

1. This image "IMG_0141" I want to change "icon app".
2. This image "IMG_0142" I want to text "456" auto show when I share.

It's possible to do that? Hope for your answer soon!
Thank you so much

 

1. Looking at this topic, it sure seems possible. The accepted answer in that question makes the modification I've described in this Issue. However, this modification might break image sharing in some apps (it did for me a few years ago), so make sure to test the code on popular social apps.

2. You can call the SetText function in conjunction with AddFile function but sharing a file together with a text is risky since some apps may omit either the text or the file from the shared content, unfortunately.

 

Thank you for your answer. I will try and tell you if it's worked
But when I call the "SetText", for example: "456" then the text "HelloWorld"(in IMG_0141) is "456".
I want to make separate text in "IMG_0141" is "Hello World!" and "IMG_0142" is "456".

It's possible to do that? Hope for your answer soon!
Thank you so much

 

Yes but the process is complicated, I'm not planning to implement this feature: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58234878/2373034

 

I am not sure if this was asked before, can mp4 files be shared too specifically to WhatsApp? I am planning to use the Native Gallery Asset and Native Share Assets.

 

Been going through the post seems like it can be done assuming video file means mp4 files. Thank you.

 

NativeShare doesn't have any file type restrictions. To share on a specific app, please see the FAQ: https://forum.unity.com/threads/native-share-for-android-ios-open-source.519865/

 

Hi, Is there a way to verify whether the user actually shared somewhere, instead of pressing a share button and backing out?

 

There is no callback, no.

 

Thanks anyway for the great asset and the quick response

 

Hi,

Just want to ask what is the difference between the following in Facebook Messenger and in Facebook.
NativeShare().SetText
NativeShare().SetTitle
NativeShare().SetSubject

Just want to know before we deploy and test it. Thanks!

 

SetSubject should have no effect on Facebook, SetTitle sets the title of the share dialog on Android platform, i.e. the app selection dialog (has no effect on iOS), SetText actually sets the shared text. But it will probably not work in conjunction with AddFile, please see FAQ for more info about that.

 

How can be shared only image for ios app
NativeShare().AddFile(Path)
.SetTarget("com.whatsapp").SetTitle("Share your photo")
.Share();
or
NativeShare().AddFile(Path)
.SetTarget("com.whatsapp")
.Share();

right??

 

NativeShare().AddFile(Path).Share();

see the FAQ for SetTarget on iOS: https://forum.unity.com/threads/native-share-for-android-ios-open-source.519865/

 

is that possible to open direct whatsapp only wihtout pop

 

Not on iOS.
