share_with_flutter

Flutter plugin to share content in Twitter and Facebook and get a callback when the action has taken place.

Android integration

• Create your Facebook App and get your Facebook App ID. You can find it in your Facebook App's dashboard.

• Open your /android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml file and add the following line:

    <string name="facebook_app_id">{FB_APP_ID}</string>

• Add the following permission to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

• Add the following meta-data element to the application element:

    <meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" android:value="@string/facebook_app_id"/>

• Finally, you'll also need to add the following provider to the application element in your AndroidManifest.xml. Remember to substitute {APP_ID} by your actual AppId

<provider android:authorities="com.facebook.app.FacebookContentProvider{FB_APP_ID}"
          android:name="com.facebook.FacebookContentProvider"
          android:exported="true"/>

You can find an example of an AndroidManifest here.

Done!
