Share plugin cannot call Share.share more then one time

[tomer2141]

Bug Report

Plugin(s)

@capacitor/share: 1.0.3

Capacitor Version

@capacitor/cli: 3.1.1 @capacitor/core: 3.1.1 @capacitor/android: 3.1.1 @capacitor/ios: 3.1.1

Platform(s)

android

Current Behavior

While calling Share.share for the first time it will work properly, but if I will try to run the share function again i will get an error: (using the chrome://inspect/#devices -> inspect -> console) Error: Can't share while sharing is in progress Error: Can't share while sharing is in progress

Expected Behavior

Be able to share more then one time

Other Technical Details

After digging up in the SharePlugin.java file i noticed that the activityResult callback is never called so the varriable isPresnteing will always be true after calling the share function for the first time

What’s your android version?

[jcesarmobile]

which option/app are you choosing for sharing?

[tomer2141]

It happens when i press the cancel button and when i try to share with whatsapp, but those are the only two methods i checked...

[tomer2141]

After upgrading my android version to 11 it started working as expected.

I'll try to get an Android 10 device to test, it's the only one I don't have at the moment 😢

It happens to us also. Any progress?

[grigorig]

I'm also seeing this, but I'm using Android 11.

Edit: it seems to be crucial to actually wait for the returned Promise to be resolved. After changing my code to do that, it works fine here.

[grigorig]

FWIW this mostly needs a documentation update I guess. I also noticed that just awaiting isn't cutting it, is this possibly optimized away?

Waiting for promise dont work for me, any news ?

any updates on this bug?

[henry-alakazhang]

I encountered this issue, but I found that it was caused by an outdated version of the Facebook connect plugin (ionic-native/facebook + cordova-plugin-facebook-connect) somehow blocking/absorbing all the ActivityResults. For me, it was also causing issues with <input type="file"> and other things that rely on opening other activities.

Upgrading the plugin to latest seems to have fixed it for me.

share popup should occur only if a specific button is clicked in capacitor.In my app once I click share button to share file, then again If I leave that screen and again start from home screen , it is showing me share popup even before clicking the share button?Is there any way to close this popup from the background ?

[jcesarmobile]

Closing since I can't reproduce and some users say it's resolved. If somebody is still facing the same problem, create a new issue and provide a sample app where the issue can be reproduced. Make sure you are using await on the share call and don't call it again until the first one resolved.
