Monetisation

This extension gives you the ability to share content to other applications. This can be done through many methods, such as displaying the "share to" menu to send content to other applications. It can be as simple as one line of code to display the built-in native share dialogs allowing your user to share files and content with other applications.

For example, the user could use this to:

  • save an image to the camera roll,
  • send as an attachment on an email,
  • or save a pdf to Dropbox.

This extension also provides functionality to send an email with attachments and to send SMS.

This extension now has the ability to launch other applications on the user's device allowing you to deeply integrate with other applications. You can pass detailed extras to an explicit Intent on Android allowing amazing integration with other applications, launching specific views in other applications or sending detailed information for another application to use within an activity.

Features

  • Simple content sharing;
  • Share files, urls, images and text content;
  • Launch an application directly with parameters;
  • Send an SMS with UI on iOS and Android;
  • Send preformatted HTML emails on iOS and Android;

As with all our extensions you get access to a year of support and updates as we are continually improving and updating the extensions for OS updates and feature requests.
