Share on social media - New question

Post by L.Coder » Sat May 16, 2015 11:28 pm

Hello, I´m working in an app since 2-3 days ago and I want to know how can I make a function that share an screenshot of my app on Facebook, twitter, instagram or another social media. How can I do that?
:shock: :cry: :lol: :oops:

I'm not sure if this will be any help but there is a "Livecode Lesson" on how to build a Facebook App on the Livecode site. I went through the tutorial a few years ago and built a rudimentary app that used the Facebook API.

I think you have to use this external and show the iOS native Activity Viewcontroller http://mergext.com/home/mergpop/

Code: Select all

mergPopActivity [pText],[pImagePaths],[pURLs],[pRect]

I think that tutorial is maybe out of date, and Andre's library would need to be changed to work with the different version of the Facebook api, but it is not something he is supporting. So I don't know if there is something in mergExt or whether there is another library, or whether you will have to roll your own.

Hi Klaus, if you want to let user sharing/printing/saving an image in iOS, mergPop, currently is the right (and maybe the only available) solution...

Hi Mag,

ah, yes, sorry, I only read the first sentence: :oops:
mergPop is an iOS external that adds functions to present an action sheet (popover on iPad) and contextual menu for user interaction.

Best
