UIActivityViewController pass different sharing data

Question

I was looking for UIActivityViewController to share different string or image with different type of activity type i.e. for Print option, sharing option (facebook, twitter).

But didn't get any option to do that. Please advice.

Thanks!

Try this Code

-(void)shareContent{

NSString * message = @"My too cool Son";

UIImage * image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"boyOnBeach"];

NSArray * shareItems = @[message, image];

UIActivityViewController * avc = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:shareItems applicationActivities:nil];

[self presentViewController:avc animated:YES completion:nil];

}

Above code is to share the same content for any activity type, but suppose If I want to share different image for print option then what to do – Minkle Garg Apr 04 '17 at 14:08
@MinkleGarg if you want to share multiple image than create image of array.or if you want to share dynamic image than set your ImageView control name. – Jigar Apr 05 '17 at 06:00
suppose activityviewcontroller appears, now user want to share the image for the print activity, but this image should be different than other activities shared image. So can we paas different image in case user click on print option and if user choose (facebook, twitter etc.) then image should be different. Is there any method to paas different content on the selection of activity type. – Minkle Garg Apr 05 '17 at 08:01

You can do this using UIActivityItemProvider

in .h File

@interface APActivityProvider : UIActivityItemProvider <UIActivityItemSource>

@end

in .m file

@implementation APActivityProvider

- (id) activityViewController:(UIActivityViewController *)activityViewController
          itemForActivityType:(NSString *)activityType {
     if ( [activityType isEqualToString:UIActivityTypePostToFacebook] )
        return @"This is a facebook post!";
    if ( [activityType isEqualToString:UIActivityTypeMessage] )
        return @"SMS message text";
    if ( [activityType isEqualToString:UIActivityTypeMail] )
        return @"Email text here!";

}

- (void) shareAppData  {
     APActivityProvider *ActivityProvider = [[APActivityProvider alloc] initWithPlaceholderItem: @“”];
     NSArray *Items = @[ActivityProvider];


     UIActivityViewController *ActivityView = [[UIActivityViewController alloc]
                                               initWithActivityItems:Items
                                               applicationActivities:nil];

     [ActivityView setValue:@“Title for email” forKey:@"subject"];

     [self presentViewController:ActivityView animated:YES completion:nil];

     [ActivityView setCompletionHandler:^(NSString *act, BOOL done)
     {
         NSString *ServiceMsg = nil;
         if ( [act isEqualToString:UIActivityTypeMail] ) 
           ServiceMsg = @"Mail sended!";
         if ( [act isEqualToString:UIActivityTypePostToTwitter] )  
        ServiceMsg = @"Post on twitter, ok!";
         if ( [act isEqualToString:UIActivityTypePostToFacebook] ) 
        ServiceMsg = @"Post on facebook, ok!";
         if ( [act isEqualToString:UIActivityTypeMessage] )        
        ServiceMsg = @"SMS sended!";

         if (done)
         {
             UIAlertView *Alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:ServiceMsg message:@"" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
             [Alert show];
         }
     }];
}
