Are you using an older version of NatShare? A few things in the stack trace seem to indicate that you're not on the latest version (1.1f3).

 

Привет. Меня зовут Антон.
Я использую ваш плагин NatShare.
Мне нужно открыть вызов после отправки сообщения. Теперь вызов можно получить, нажав кнопку отмены. То есть я открыл меню для отправки с различными приложениями, но если я нажму «отменить», открытый вызов будет работать, но необходимо, чтобы он был запущен после отправки.

 

Hello. My name is Anton.
I use your NatShare plugin.
I need an open call after the message has been sent. Now a call can be received by pressing the cancel button. That is, I opened the menu for sending with various applications, but if I press cancel, the open call will work, but it is necessary that it be triggered after sending.

 

I'm not sure I understand. What do you mean by needing an open call after the message has been sent? What message?

 

@Lanre Yup that was it! Upgrading from 1.1f1 to 1.1f3 fixed it. Thank you!

 

Perfect!

 

@Lanre I demonstrated it in the video. I did not send anything, but the callback worked.

 

@Lanre There is another question. Is it possible to implement an overload for the image and text? The documentation is written only about the media file and text.

 

This is expected behaviour. On Android, there is no reliable way to know whether the user actually shared or canceled. This is why the ShareCallback doesn't have a `bool` to indicate this. You can check the NatShare sources for more info on this.

The current version doesn't support image with text or media with text. We did this on purpose, because a lot of apps will reject the sharing payload if it has some text.

 

@Lanre
Thanks for the help

 

can someone please specify how to take screenshot by using thin plugin. i am stuck in it :/

 

NatShare doesn't take screenshots. Unity has a screenshot function.

 

sorry idk how to take screenshot. i am nob in unity. you should also provide your screenshot function to make thing more easy. thanks

 

Taking screenshots is out of the scope of NatShare which is why it isn't included. Search through Unity's documentation for the ScreenCapture class.

 

IEnumerator captureScreenshot()
{
yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
string path = "Screenshots/"
+ "_" + screenshotCount + "_" + Screen.width + "X" + Screen.height + "" + ".png";

Texture2D screenImage = new Texture2D(Screen.width, Screen.height);
//Get Image from screen
screenImage.ReadPixels(new Rect(0, 0, Screen.width, Screen.height), 0, 0);
screenImage.Apply();
//Convert to png
byte[] imageBytes = screenImage.EncodeToPNG();

//Save image to file
//System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(path, imageBytes);


NatShare.Share(screenImage);

}


share not working can you please tell me where i went wrong ?
Thanks

 

Hurrah !working for me. Really nice asset. i am going to give 5 stars in Assets Store.

 

I just wast to ask a lil question if i convert texture2d to png then what will be the share function work fast for me? share function is little freezy for my real device. hope you understand what i am taking.

 

The Share function converts the texture to PNG before sharing. So calling EncodeToPNG before sharing will only make it slower.

 

Hi there!
Can I filter instagram in list of native share for iOS ?

 

This isn't possible. But you can clone the source project to explore how to do it in native code.

 

Ei.. I have the same error.. I fix it with this code.

path = path.Substring(7, path.Length - 7);

You have to delete this characters from the string "file:///"

 

Hi,
I am struggling to get Natshare to send my captured gif. It just sends the message on its own.
Here is my line of sharing code:

string path = "file:///Android/data/com.publisher.game/files/gameplay.gif";
NatShare.Share(path);

That's the full path to the saved gif, but I've tried every variation of it I can.

Am I doing something wrong?

 

This path doesn't look correct. There's typically a "storage/emulated" or "storage/0" in the path. How exactly did you derive this path?

 

I found the path by browsing the phone. I can't get debugging working on it so I'm using trial and error!

Oh, and the file is saved with ProGIF, not NatRecorder, which may explain the difference?

 

Viewing the file in the file explorer might not be the exact path. Use adb to try to find the path. It doesn't matter whether the GIF was created with NatCorder or ProGIF.

 

hi, it's possible to share multiple image ?

 

Not at the same time, no.

 

Hi, is it possible to share a text (for facebook post) and image at the same time?
What I'm interested in is facebook capabilities. Does the same Facebook SDK limitations apply? E.g. image only by URI?

 

This isn't possible. We removed it because it didn't work for a whole lot of receiving apps (it's up to the receiving app to decide what to do with the sharing payload).

I don't believe so. NatShare uses the OS'es native share sheet, so you should be able to share an image to FB.

 

So it's possible only to share either of those?
- Text + Link
- Link
- Image + Link

Or it's only the image and that's it?

 

You can share a text with a link. You can also share a link. You can't share a Texture2D with a link.

 

Sounds reasonable, since Facebook requires an URI.
Ok, thanks

 

NatShare.Share (plain text / haven't tested texture2d) doesn't call the callback on iOS (it only works on Android).

 

I've created an issue for this.

 

I have these error when compiling in Xcode 10.1

Please use code tags for long text outputs like this. Check that you are not missing the iOS libraries (libNatShare.a). Try deleting NatShare from your project and reimporting it from the asset store.

 

Prior to using NatShare, I used this asset: native-share-for-android-ios-112731

With that one, you can specify a subject text when sharing photos. Is this not possible with NatShare?

 

This is not supported by NatShare unfortunately. The big issue here is that most apps will not actually accept both text and media; they'd either choose one or just reject the sharing payload entirely.

 

Hi Lanre - thanks for the response.

I know this is true for the text field, but that other share lib has a subject field that does seem to work well with photo media. In that asset, if you specify the text field blank the subject is still shared (e.g. on Instagram and Facebook)

This may be the text that comes across as "File from iOS" on NatShare?

 

I'm considering a draft front-end API to add support for this. But I won't be able to get this implemented soon.

 

Cool - sounds great!

 

I am a new comer to NatCorder and NatShare, as I have been looking for a non-buggy alternative method of recording and saving videos to my iOS media library. Are there any tutorials that you guys would be so kind to direct me to? So far, I have little clue where to start, and none of the examples save down to the device, although it appears that ReplayCam is soooo close, the script would only need an adjustment or two. Any help is much appreciated.

 

Hello. I bought NatCoder.
And I add this code at RecordButton.cs

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.            void IPointerUpHandler.OnPointerUp (PointerEventData eventData) {
3.             // Reset pressed
4.             pressed = false;
5.             OnReplay("/storage/emulated/Android/data/com.example.helloAR/files/hoge.mov"); //add method
6.  
7.         }
8.  
9.        // add this method
10.         void OnReplay(string path)
11.         {
12.             Debug.Log("Saved recording to: " + path);
13.             // Playback the video
14.             #if UNITY_ANDROID
15.                 NatShareU.NatShare.SaveToCameraRoll(path);
16.                 Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie(path);
17.             #endif
18.         }

but I can't save movie.
What Should I do?

I use only android. thanks.

Here's a use-case for you:

I use Natcorder to record a video, which I then save to the camera roll using NatShare. I would like to get one or more of the following:

• URL Path to the video on the camera roll
• The LocalID of the PHAsset which has been saved

My end goal is to take my video recording and use Instagram's Custom URL scheme to directly open a photo/video in the Instagram Feed Share UI. Instagram's Native Share Sheet functionality is lacking (Instagram's fault, not yours!), with no support for filters or editing.

 

Hi Lanre, i'm considering to buy natshare for a client's project.
I need to be able share on Facebook (only there) either a video which the user will upload from the app to facebook, or a link of a webpage where the user uploaded the video.
-> I need the share call to add hashtags (or mentions) to the post.

Is that possible with natshare and/or implementable?

Help pls

 

In the OnReplay method, simply call NatShare.SaveToCameraRoll with the path to the recorded video. Check the NatShare README for any clarifications.

 

If you are on Android 9, it could be related to this issue. I'll be working on a fix sometime next week.
