Would like a way to trigger a share sheet / share intent

Likely best way is via a plugin? Both Android and iOS have share intent concepts.

This SO question is asking this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41128944/how-to-share-a-file-using-flutter

If the scope of this issue includes the UI elements to trigger the share capability, the icon used for sharing should be platform specific. Use the iOS share icon when on iOS, e.g.

Every one of Flutter's Early Access Partner has had the need to trigger a share flow from iOS, so I think we need to pull this into M2 (and can correspondingly bump other work as needed).

What's needed in this bug is a proof of concept/example. Some explanation of how to create an iOS and Android share flow.

I'll need some ramp up on plugins but I can take a look at it next

The share plugin is submitted in google3. I'd close this bug for now since the share specific part is done. It's just a matter of having a distribution mechanism with #7815 now.

@mit-mit

Just for clarity, the plugin is also still available here: https://github.com/xster/flutter-plugin-share ?

cc @mit-mit something to add to your docs, as another example

It is. I kept the code equivalent. Though I wouldn't quite call it a plugin since it's not 'unpluggable'. It's just the share logic hard coded into the 2 native codebases.

No worries. Important part: yay more Flutter integrations! :)

Hey,
Has the share sheet been implemented. If no how do i make a share sheet?

https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/share

still I can't find a way to share an Image, is it in the pipeline or I missed the docs?

https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/share does not allow you to share a file. Only String. I am trying to Share a .vcf file for example.

Future<String> get _localPath async {
   final directory = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();

   return directory.path;
 }

 Future<File> get _localFile async {
   final path = await _localPath;
   return new File('$path/contact.vcf');
 }

 Future<String> readCounter() async {
   try {
     final file = await _localFile;

     // Read the file
     String contents = await file.readAsString();

     return contents;
   } catch (e) {
     // If we encounter an error, return 0
     return "";
   }
 }

 Future<File> writeCounter(String data) async {
   final file = await _localFile;

   // Write the file
   return file.writeAsString('$data');
 }

 void shareContact() async {
   String str = "BEGIN:VCARD\n" +
       "VERSION:4.0\n" +
       "N:Gump;Forrest;;;\n" +
       "FN:Forrest Gump\n" +
       "ORG:Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.\n" +
       "TITLE:Shrimp Man\n" +
       "TEL;TYPE=work,voice;VALUE=uri:tel:+1-111-555-1212\n" +
       "TEL;TYPE=home,voice;VALUE=uri:tel:+1-404-555-1212\n" +
       "EMAIL:[email protected]\n" +
       "REV:20080424T195243Z\n" +
       "END:VCARD";

   writeCounter(str);
   final file = await _localFile;

   share(file.toString());
 }

Sorry to hear. Can you open a new bug for that, please?

WIll do!

FYI - the bug opened was #16743.
