GetDefaultBasePath()

Gets the default shareable directory as defined in the native plugin.

public string GetDefaultBasePath()

Returns

string

GetShareableFileUri(string, string?, string?)

(Android) Gets a shareable URI for a file located in a shareable directory in the app's storage.

public AndroidJavaObject? GetShareableFileUri(string fileName, string? basePath = null, string? fileProviderAuthority = null)

Parameters

fileName string

The name of the file.

basePath string

The path to the file. If not given, it will expect the file in a subdirectory named "ShareCache" under the app's cache directory.

fileProviderAuthority string

The FileProvider authority for the file being shared.

Returns

AndroidJavaObject?

The native Android URI object or null if it could not create the URI.

OnApplicationFocus(bool)

protected void OnApplicationFocus(bool focus)

Parameters

focus bool

OnDestroy()

protected void OnDestroy()

ShareData(string, string, byte[], AdditionalShareData)

Shares data as a file URI to other apps using the system share sheet.

public bool ShareData(string contentType, string fileName, byte[] data, AdditionalShareData additionalData = default)

Parameters

contentType string

The MIME type of the content to share. See CommonMimeTypes for common MIME types.

fileName string

The file name of the content to share (eg. "image.png").

data byte[]

The data to share.

additionalData AdditionalShareData

Additional data for the event.

Returns

bool

True if successful, false otherwise.

Remarks

This method writes the data to a file in a folder that is accessible by other apps, and then shares its location as a URI. By default, this location is in the app's cache directory under a subdirectory named "ShareCache". When the user regains focus on the app after sharing, the file will be deleted to prevent the cache directory from growing too large. These settings can be overridden by setting the AdditionalShareData parameter.

ShareData(string, (string FileName, byte[] Data)[], AdditionalShareData)

Shares data as multiple file URIs to other apps using the system share sheet.

public bool ShareData(string contentType, (string FileName, byte[] Data)[] files, AdditionalShareData additionalData = default)

Parameters

contentType string

The MIME type of the content to share. See CommonMimeTypes for common MIME types.

files (string FileName, byte[] Data)[]

An array of tuples containing file names and their corresponding data to share.

additionalData AdditionalShareData

Additional data for the event.

Returns

bool

True if successful, false otherwise.

Remarks

This method writes the data to files in a folder that is accessible by other apps, and then shares its location as a URI. By default, this location is in the app's cache directory under a subdirectory named "ShareCache". When the user regains focus on the app after sharing, the file will be deleted to prevent the cache directory from growing too large. These settings can be overridden by setting the AdditionalShareData parameter.

ShareFile(string, string, AdditionalShareData)

public bool ShareFile(string contentType, string fileName, AdditionalShareData additionalData = default)

Parameters

contentType string

The MIME type of the content to share. See CommonMimeTypes for common MIME types.

fileName string

The name of the file to share.

additionalData AdditionalShareData

Additional data for the event.

Returns

bool

True if successful, false otherwise.

Remarks

By default, the file is expected to be in the app's cache directory under a subdirectory named "ShareCache". This can be overridden by setting the AdditionalShareData parameter.

ShareFiles(string, string[], AdditionalShareData)

Shares multiple files as URIs to other apps using the system share sheet.

public bool ShareFiles(string contentType, string[] fileNames, AdditionalShareData additionalData = default)

fileNames string[]

additionalData AdditionalShareData

Additional data for the event.

Remarks

By default, the files are expected to be in the app's cache directory under a subdirectory named "ShareCache". This can be overridden by setting the AdditionalShareData parameter.

If you want to share files that are present in different directories, you will have to get the shareable URIs for those files individually using (Android) GetShareableFileUri(string, string?, string?) and then share them using (Android) ShareUris(string, AndroidJavaObject[], string?, string?) method.
