I would like to replicate this behaviour (see image below) and share contents from my app using this kind of action sheet.
The question is:
Is this really an Action Sheet? I can't find anywhere tutorial for iOS 7 or 8. Not sure how to proceed.
Do the sharing options depends on user's configurations?
Hints would be appreciated.
It is not in UIActionSheet
it is in UIActivityController
, which is the default function in iOS.
objective-C
- (void)presentActivityController:(UIActivityViewController *)controller {
// for iPad: make the presentation a Popover
controller.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPopover;
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
UIPopoverPresentationController *popController = [controller popoverPresentationController];
popController.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny;
popController.barButtonItem = self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem;
// access the completion handler
controller.completionWithItemsHandler = ^(NSString *activityType,
BOOL completed,
NSArray *returnedItems,
NSError *error){
// react to the completion
if (completed) {
// user shared an item
NSLog(@"We used activity type%@", activityType);
} else {
// user cancelled
NSLog(@"We didn't want to share anything after all.");
}
if (error) {
NSLog(@"An Error occured: %@, %@", error.localizedDescription, error.localizedFailureReason);
}
};
}
-(void)sendMessage {
//create a message
NSString *theMessage = @"Some text we're sharing with an activity controller";
NSArray *items = @[theMessage];
// build an activity view controller
UIActivityViewController *controller = [[UIActivityViewController alloc]initWithActivityItems:items applicationActivities:nil];
// and present it
[self presentActivityController:controller];
}
Swift
let shareText = "Hello, world!"
if let image = UIImage(named: "myImage") {
let vc = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: [shareText, image], applicationActivities: [])
present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
