Sharing to a Kodular application

Discuss
#1

Hi,

Please, do you know if it’s possible to share files/messages with an app developed with Kodular?. (The opposite what the component Sharing does)

Thanks,
Jose

It would be good if you share some blocks for what you are trying to do

I have no code yet. I would like to develop an app that can receive a PDF file in order to be printed after with a receipt. But currently I’m trying to know if the app can receive this kind of files

Without the blocks no one will understand what you are trying to do
But look at this I think you are looking for this

This is not exactly what I want to do. The general workflow is:

simpleWF

As you can see, the app has to receive (via sharing function) a PDF file and after show the PDF the app could print the PDF and/or the receipt

Currently, it is not possible to use Kodular app for these actions. Because Kodular can’t know what is your app’s purpose. In short - this is not possible.

For example; You added a WebView to your app and you want to see your app in Android’s Share with… dialog. But adding a WebView, won’t converts your app to Browser.

No problem. :innocent: Don’t forget to mark as a solution if your problem is solved. :sweat_smile:

I had thought of an idea to introduce “App Types”. This is what I wrote in my ToDo list:

Play with intent filters in manifest in the compiler to set the type of app

APP TYPES

  • Game
  • Browser
  • File manager
  • Music Player

I didn’t have the time to do proper research though. So it won’t be coming in the near future.
