The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome.

This is indeed done with Intents.
ReplyDeleteFor sharing an image, like in the example picture, it would be something like this:
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/DCIM/Camera/myPic.jpg"));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image"));
For text you would use something like:
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("text/plain");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "I'm being sent!!");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Text"));
Yes. You need to provide an Activity with an intent filter that can handle objects of the MIME Type image/jpeg (say, if you wanted to support sharing JPEG images), and and action of presumably ACTION_SEND.
ReplyDeleteMany of the built-in Android apps are open-source, you can check the manifest file of the Messaging app to see what intent filters it is using.
