Android equivalent to mergPopActivity & the iOS Share sheet?
Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2021 4:26 am
I'm working on "porting" our iOS app to Android... but am not an Android user (nor fan).
In our iOS app, we use mergPopActivity to open the iOS Share sheet and populate it with an image where appropriate.
We need the same functionality (single button click to open options for sharing to any installed messaging apps - Facebok, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) and I'm dreading the sheer effort it's going to take to figure it all out.
I thought I'd ask the community if anyone had worked through this and...
1. Is there an easy approach we could take (..and could you share some details) OR
2. Are there existing tools/apps we could "hook into" to get the functionality
3. Is there an Android standard (look and feel) that we should pay attention to even if we have to code the nasty bits ourselves.
Thanks in advance for whatever info you have.
