This Cordova/PhoneGap plugin will allow your app to receive shared Android image intents easily.
- v1.1.0 of this plugin being updated to work w/ Cordova 6.0.0 (WIP)
- v1.0 of this plugin has been tested to work w/ PhoneGap 2.1.0
Install via cordova (or plugman):
cordova plugin add phonegap-sharedimage
First you'll need to install the appropriate Intent in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
<data android:mimeType="image/*" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
Then in your PhoneGap app, add a Handler (put this in your deviceready callback):
sharedimage.shared(function(e) {
// the media uri - e.img is the only attribute
console.log("IMAGE: " + e.img);
// actual file name
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURI(e.img, function(imgfile) {
console.log("FILENAME: " + imgfile.name);
});
});
That's about it.
The skeleton of the code was originally pulled from phonegap-nfc. I wrote this because WebIntent was bugging out in conjunction with phonegap-nfc.
