complete flutter share plugin

Share Anything plugin

Original: d-silveira/flutter-share

A Flutter plugin to share content from your Flutter app via the platform's share dialog and receive shares from other apps on the platform (currently only on Android).

Usage

Setup

1. add share

   share:
      git:
         url: https://github.com/seiyial/flutter-share.git

as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

Sharing Outbound from within your App

1. Put this in main.dart or whichever file you are performing the outbound share:-

import 'package:share/share.dart';

2. Create an instance of a Share using one of the following.

Share.plainText(text: <String>, title: <String>);
Share.file(path: <String>, mimeType: ShareType, title: , text: );
Share.image(path: , mimeType: , title: , text: );
Share.multiple(shares: List<Share>, mimeType: , title: );

Note: for each of the above methods, only the first argument is required.

3. Call .share({ Rect sharePositionOrigin }) on the instance. Example:-

Share _fileToShare = Share.plainText(text: '[email protected]');

final RenderBox _box = context.findRenderObject();
_fileToShare.share(sharePositionOrigin: _box.localToGlobal(Offset.zero) & _box.size);

// Another example
final RenderBox _box2 = context.findRenderObject();
Share.image(
   path: "content://0@media/external/images/media/2129",
   mimeType: ShareType.TYPE_IMAGE
).share(
   sharePositionOrigin: _box2.localToGlobal(Offset.zero) & _box2.size
);

Receiving an Inbound share from another App

1. In your Android MainActivity, replace extends FlutterActivity with extends FlutterShareReceiverActivity.

MainActivity.java

// ...
import io.flutter.plugins.share.FlutterShareReceiverActivity;
// ...

// ...
// Originally FlutterActivity
public class MainActivity extends FlutterShareReceiverActivity {
   // ...
}
// ...

2. Your main.dart should receive a share.

import 'package:share/receive_share_state.dart';

3. In your StatefulWidget replace your extends State<T> with extends ReceiveShareState<T> and implement your mandatory @override void receiveShare(Share shareObj) { } where you'll receive your shares.

finally call enableShareReceiving(); in your initState().

That's it!

Notes

Currently only the Android part is complete (IOS part does the same as google's original version), but be on the lookout for new versions, as the IOS part is being worked on and will soon do all the same bells and whistles.
