[Question]: Showing "Plain text and 1 Document" text in share bottomsheet in iOS.

[vichuer]

What is your question?

I am using share_plus plugin to share an image and a text to whatsapp. But on the bottom sheet that pops up to select which app to share, The preview of the image is showing but the text is not showing instead "Plain text and 1 Document" is shown. Please refer the screenshot for better understanding.

Is there any way to change that and show custom text there?

This is how I am using the plugin :

Share.shareXFiles( [XFile(file!.path)], subject: 'I just got screened!', text: 'I just got screened!', ).then((value) { if (value.status == ShareResultStatus.success) { pop(context); } });

I was having the same issue when trying to share a screenshot. Replacing the text field with subject fixed the issue for me.

Code:

String shareText = 'Check out my image!`;

await Share.shareXFiles(
  [XFile(imagePath.path)],
  subject: shareText
);

I tried that and it solves the issue of showing the subject, but then when you share you do not have text. The image is shared without text. That forces the user to type their text once they select the social media. In my app I need to have a default text to share the link to my app.

Is there a way to have both subject and text?

• subject (which is going to be replaced by title) is in charge of showing the "title" of the share sheet.
• text is part of the content shared.

So if you want to show some text in the share sheet AND share text, you need to provide the shared text in both the subject and text parameters.

@miquelbeltran but using both removes the subject from being shown in the share sheet.

For example, the subject shows fine when I don't use text. After I use both, I see:

That's just how iOS handles it, the plugin can do nothing about that.
