Implementing Feature

As Sharing feature supports multiple sharing sources (Email, Facebook, SMS, WhatsApp, Twitter), different composers are available to populate data.
Fill data with a Composer
Different Composers are available to fill the data for each service. Composers available are
MessageShareComposer - Compose data for sharing via Messaging Service
MailShareComposer - Compose data for sharing via Email Service
FacebookShareComposer - Compose data for sharing via Facebook
WhatsAppShareComposer - Compose data for sharing via WhatsApp
TwitterShareComposer - Compose data for sharing via Twitter
SocialShareSheet - Compose data for sharing via Facebook & Twitter
ShareSheet - Compose data for sharing via all services
Present the composer
Once a composer data is populated, present it with ShowView method to start sharing.
NPBinding.Sharing.ShowView(COMPOSER_INSTANCE, FINISHED_SHARING_CALLBACK);
COMPOSER_INSTANCE
Create an instance of any composer mentioned above and pass to ShowView
FINISHED_SHARING_CALLBACK
All sharing actions optionally take callback method which will be called once sharing window is closed. A common implementation of callback is as below.
void FinishedSharing (eShareResult _result)
{
    Debug.Log("Finished sharing");
    Debug.Log("Share Result = " + _result);
}
For sharing with SMS, you first check if the service is available on target platform.
 NPBinding.Sharing.IsMessagingServiceAvailable()
Above returns true if service is available.
For sharing, create MessageShareComposer and fill in the details.
// Create composer
MessageShareComposer    _composer    = new MessageShareComposer();
_composer.Body                        = SMS_BODY_MESSAGE;
_composer.ToRecipients                = ARRAY_OF_RECIPIENTS;
Open Share window by below code :
NPBinding.Sharing.ShowView(_composer, FinishedSharing);
Above call triggers FinishedSharing Callback once sharing is done.
Callback Implementation
void FinishedSharing (eShareResult _result)
{
    Debug.Log("Finished sharing");
    Debug.Log("Share Result = " + _result);
}
For sharing with Email, you first check if the service is available on target platform.
 NPBinding.Sharing.IsMailServiceAvailable()
Above returns true if service is available.
For sharing, create MailShareComposer to fill in the details and pass it to ShowView. MailShareComposer provides option to fill in :
To Receipients List
CC Receipients List
BCC Receipients List
Mail Body
HTML Body (set IsHTMLBody to true if you pass html content in Body parameter)
Attach any type of attachment (attachment type supported or not depends on the sharing service)
Once sharing is finished, FinishedSharing Callback will be called.
MailShareComposer    _composer    = new MailShareComposer();
_composer.Subject                = m_mailSubject;
_composer.Body                    = m_plainMailBody;
​
// Set below to true if the body is HTML
_composer.IsHTMLBody            = false;
​
// Send array of receivers if required
_composer.ToRecipients            = m_mailToRecipients;
_composer.CCRecipients            = m_mailCCRecipients;
_composer.BCCRecipients            = m_mailBCCRecipients;
​
// Add below line if you want to attach screenshot. Else, ignore.
// _composer.AttachScreenShot();
​
// Add below line if you want to attach a file, for ex : image. Else, ignore.
// _composer.AddAttachmentAtPath(GET_FULL_IMAGE_PATH, MIMEType.kPNG);
​
// Use below line if you want to add any other attachment format. Else, ignore.
// _composer.AddAttachment(ATTACHMENT_DATA_IN_BYTE_ARRAY, ATTACHMENT_FILE_NAME, MIME_TYPE);
​
// Show share view
NPBinding.Sharing.ShowView(_composer, FinishedSharing);
MIME_TYPE for some file types are
PNG : image/png or use MIMEType.PNG
PDF : application/pdf or use MIMEType.PDF
ZIP : application/zip
Social Share provides facility to share below types on Facebook & Twitter:
Text Message
URL

Warning
Some services won't allow sharing some of the attributes or combined properties above as per their policies. For ex: Facebook won't allow prefilled text in the share dialog. !!!!
// Create share sheet
SocialShareSheet _shareSheet     = new SocialShareSheet();    
_shareSheet.Text                = m_shareMessage;
​
// Add below line if you want to share URL
_shareSheet.URL                    = m_shareURL;
​
// Add below line if you want to share a screenshot
_shareSheet.AttachScreenShot();
​
// Add below line if you want to share an image from a specified path.
_shareSheet.AttachImageAtPath(IMAGE_PATH);
​
// Show composer
NPBinding.UI.SetPopoverPointAtLastTouchPosition(); // To show popover at last touch point on iOS. On Android, its ignored.
NPBinding.Sharing.ShowView(_shareSheet, FinishedSharing);
For sharing, create SocialShareSheet to fill in the details and pass it to ShowView. SocialShareSheet provides option to fill in :
Text message to share
URL to share
Screenshot
Texture
Image at path
Once sharing is finished, FinishedSharing Callback will be called.
// Create share sheet
SocialShareSheet _shareSheet     = new SocialShareSheet();    
_shareSheet.Text                = m_shareMessage;
​
// Add below line if you want to share URL
_shareSheet.URL                    = m_shareURL;
​
// Add below line if you want to share a screenshot
_shareSheet.AttachScreenShot();
​
// Add below line if you want to share an image from a specified path.
_shareSheet.AttachImageAtPath(IMAGE_PATH);
​
// Show composer
NPBinding.UI.SetPopoverPointAtLastTouchPosition(); // To show popover at last touch point on iOS. On Android, its ignored.
NPBinding.Sharing.ShowView(_shareSheet, FinishedSharing);
