This is a simple override of UIActivityViewController which makes it easier to set multiple items for each UIActivityType.
-
Add all files into your Xcode project.
-
Import
RDActivityViewController.h
into your project:#import "RDActivityViewController.h";
-
Set your class as a
RDActivityViewControllerDelegate
delegate:... @interface MyClass : NSObject <RDActivityViewControllerDelegate> ...
-
Implement the required
activityViewController:activityViewController itemsForActivityType:activityType
method in the delegate. You should always return anNSArray
of activityItems:- (NSArray *)activityViewController:(NSArray *)activityViewController itemsForActivityType:(NSString *)activityType { if ([activityType isEqualToString:UIActivityTypeMail]) { return @[ @"This is the message which appears", @"...in the mail sharing dialog.", [UIImage imageName:@"an-image.png"] ]; } else { return @[@"Default message"]; } }
-
And finally, create the RDActivityViewController:
RDActivityViewController *viewController = [[RDActivityViewController alloc] initWithDelegate:self];
To use a custom activity, you can call [[RDActivityViewController alloc] initWithDelegate:self maximumNumberOfItems:numItems applicationActivities:appActivities placeholderItem:defaultPlaceholder];
This lets you share items that might not be sharable with particular activity types (e.g. some UIActivity implementations may only accept NSURL, AVAsset, etc.. objects.)
For example, using TUSafariActivity and ARChromeActivity to open an item in Safari or Google Chrome:
UIActivity *safariActivity = [[TUSafariActivity alloc] init];
UIActivity *chromeActivity = [[ARChromeActivity alloc] init];
RDActivityViewController *viewController = [[RDActivityViewController alloc] initWithDelegate:viewControllerDelegate maximumNumberOfItems:10 applicationActivities:@[safariActivity, chromeActivity] placeholderItem:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://github.com"]];
Of course, you can still replace the placeholder item in your delegate method.
