[QUESTION] Social share options

[rungo73]

I would like to bind SLComposeViewController to Ejecta. I want to post string from Ejecta with score to social apps for example in JS: var score = 1234; var message = "You have scored" + score + "playing my game"; And then send message to iOS share options to be populated in the selected social app. I use Javascript but have little knowledge of objective-C.

Many thanks in advance.

My fork version has this feature. It used the Build-in Social API of iOS.

you can see : https://github.com/finscn/Ejecta/blob/master/Extension/EJBindingSocial.m

Because in China We can't use facebook and twitter. So , I don't test it enough , Sorry

[rungo73]

This is working great for me 😀👍

Greatly appreciated.

Regards, Tom.

@rungo73 can you tel us how you done sending message to social apple share ? what is the javasciprt code u use to call or send this ? i need it too thanks in advance

[rungo73]

I added this method to EJBindingSocial.m:

/////////////////////////////////

EJ_BIND_FUNCTION(openShare, ctx, argc, argv){

NSString *score = JSValueToNSString(ctx, argv[0]);


UIActivityViewController *activityViewController = [[

UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:@[score]

          applicationActivities:nil];

[scriptView.window.rootViewController presentViewController

:activityViewController

                   animated:YES

                 completion:^{

                     NSLog(@"completed.");

                 }];

return NULL;

}

//////////////////////////// then in main.js you can do this which will open iOS default share options view, populated with supplied text

ig.global.social = new Ejecta.Social();

var message = ("Put in your message to share here");

ig.global.social.openShare(message);

@finscn this would be good to add to your fork.

@rungo73 , thanks , I add the code like this, I think it's better (you could do callback):

EJ_BIND_FUNCTION(openShare, ctx, argc, argv){

    NSString *message = JSValueToNSString(ctx, argv[0]);
    JSObjectRef callback = nil;
    if (argc > 1){
        callback = JSValueToObject(ctx, argv[1], NULL);
        if (callback) {
            JSValueProtect(ctx, callback);
        }
    }

    UIActivityViewController *activityViewController = [
         [UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:@[message] applicationActivities:nil
    ];

    [scriptView.window.rootViewController
         presentViewController:activityViewController
         animated:YES
         completion:^{
             if (callback){
                 [scriptView invokeCallback:callback thisObject:NULL argc:0 argv:nil];
                 JSValueUnprotect(scriptView.jsGlobalContext, callback);
             }
         }
     ];

    return NULL;

}

js code:

   var social=new Ejecta.Social();
   social.openShare("test", function(){
           console.log("opened");
    });

@finscn thanks a lot that work fine but with little changes js code have to be like that : var social=new Ejecta.Social(); social.openShare("test", function(){ console.log("opened"); }); var message = ("Put in your message to share here");

@rungo73 thanks a lot but i when the default share option apear there is no facebook and no twitter only text message and mail ???

[finscn]

@matrixreal you mean :

var social=new Ejecta.Social();

var message = "your message to share";

social.openShare(message,  function(){
   console.log("opened");
});

That's ok.

[rungo73]

it will only show if you have twitter or facebook apps installed on your device.

@finscn yes exactly but i done it only by :

var social=new Ejecta.Social();

var message = "your message to share";

social.openShare(message);

@rungo73 mmmm thats okay but i think putting direct link call on browser is better ... some people have not fb or twitter installed ...

[rungo73]

@mattix.real You are correct to cover your bases but I find that users who care to post to social services will have those apps installed. I don't know of any tweeters who don't have a Twitter app installed on their device for example.

@matrixreal , the callback is optional, you can just use one argument.
