使用cordova-plugin-x-socialsharing无法共享文件

Question

I am trying to share a backup file *.bkp using cordova-plugin-x-socialsharing in my ionic project , using any file manager is success sharing the file. but inside using myapp failed..

I already try this code from SocialSharing-PhoneGap-Plugin

import { File, SocialSharing } from 'ionic-native';

export class Filemanager {
        constructor(
        public _BackPress: BackPress,
        public toastCtrl: ToastController,
        public viewCtrl: ViewController,
        public alertCtrl: AlertController,
        public navCtrl: NavController,
        public navParams: NavParams) {

                   let path ="file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/sample/Bocaue_Caingin_-08082017082411.bkp"
                   SocialSharing.share(null,null, path ).then(data => {

                    }).catch(data => {
                      console.log('catch> error ',data)
                      let toast = this.toastCtrl.create({
                        message: 'Share File Failed!',
                        duration: 2500
                      });
                      toast.present();

                    });

      }
}
//the console log result
//catch> error  false

My objective is to share to file via shareitapp, or on messenger as an attachment

Answer 1

I can see 2 issues with your implementation.

1. You're using very OLD native dependency.You must update it to latest "@ionic-native/core": "3.13.1", . Offical package.json file.

2. After that, you can easily implement it using the Ionic native plugin as shown below.

Here is the official doc .

import { SocialSharing } from '@ionic-native/social-sharing';

constructor(private socialSharing: SocialSharing) { }

// Check if sharing via email is supported
this.socialSharing.canShareViaEmail().then(() => {
  // Sharing via email is possible
}).catch(() => {
  // Sharing via email is not possible
});
