react-native-send-intent

React Native Android module to use Android's Intent actions for send text to shareable apps or make phone calls or opening third party apps.

This module is useful when you need to share some text between apps in Android device and if you have a valid phone number make some call directly (if you ask for permission in AndroidManifest.xml).

E.g.: You have and short text and want to share in a SMS or Whatsapp.

Example / Usage of Text (Share)

var SendIntentAndroid = require('react-native-send-intent');

SendIntentAndroid.sendText({
  title: 'Please share this text',
  text: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, per error erant eu, antiopam intellegebat ne sed',
  type: SendIntentAndroid.TEXT_PLAIN
});

Example / Usage of Send Mail (text/plain only)

var SendIntentAndroid = require('react-native-send-intent');

SendIntentAndroid.sendMail("your@address.com", "Subject test", "Test body");

## Example / Usage of SMS
Thanks to @pedro ;)

```javascript
var SendIntentAndroid = require('react-native-send-intent');

SendIntentAndroid.sendSms('+55 48 9999-9999', 'SMS body text here');

Example / Usage of Phone Calls

It's very important ask for permission in your AndroidManifest.xml file if you need to use Phone Calls directly.

Please add this line to your XML before using this example:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

And them you can call in your JavaScript files:

var SendIntentAndroid = require('react-native-send-intent');

SendIntentAndroid.sendPhoneCall('+55 48 9999-9999');

Example / Usage of Phone Dial Screen

For this use you doesn't need to ask any permission.

var SendIntentAndroid = require('react-native-send-intent');

SendIntentAndroid.sendPhoneDial('+55 48 9999-9999');

Example / Create Calendar Event

According to Google using Intents for inserting, updating, and viewing calendar events is the preferred method. At this time only simple recurrence is supported ['daily'|'weekly'|'monthly'|'yearly'].

Create a Calendar Event:

// Create the Calendar Intent.
SendIntentAndroid.addCalendarEvent({
  title: 'Go To The Park',
  description: "It's fun to play at the park.",
  startDate: '2016-01-25 10:00',
  endDate: '2016-01-25 11:00',
  recurrence: 'weekly',
  location: 'The Park'
});

Example / Check if an application is installed

Check if Gmail app is intalled. Returns a promise with a boolean telling if the app is installed or not

SendIntentAndroid.isAppInstallaed('com.google.android.gm').then((isInstalled) => {});

Example / Open App

Open Gmail app. Returns a promise with a boolean telling if the app was opened or not:

SendIntentAndroid.openApp('com.google.android.gm').then((wasOpened) => {});

// You can also specify arbitrary intent extras to be passed to the app
SendIntentAndroid.openApp('com.mycorp.myapp', {"com.mycorp.myapp.reason": "just because", "com.mycorp.myapp.data": "must be a string"}).then((wasOpened) => {});

Example / Open Calendar

SendIntentAndroid.openCalendar();

Example / Open Camera Intent

SendIntentAndroid.openCamera();

Example / Open Share With dialog

Opens Androids default share tray:

  // Create Share With dialog.
  SendIntentAndroid.openChooserWithOptions({
    subject: 'Story Title',
    text: 'Message Body'
  }, 'Share Story');

  SendIntentAndroid.openChooserWithOptions({
    subject: 'Video Title',
    videoUrl: '/path_or_url/to/video.mp4'
  }, 'Share video to');

Opens Androids default maps app with location:

  // Open Maps App
  SendIntentAndroid.openMaps('Piccadilly Circus Station, London, United Kingdom');

Example / Open Maps With Route

Opens Androids default maps app, and route path between your location and address:

mode: d,w,b

d: drive car
w: walking
b: bicycle

  SendIntentAndroid.openMapsWithRoute('Piccadilly Circus Station, London, United Kingdom', "w");

Example / Share text to line

  SendIntentAndroid.isAppInstalled('jp.naver.line.android')
    .then(function(isInstalled){

      if(!isInstalled){
        //LINE has not install, you need to install it!
        return;
      }

      SendIntentAndroid.shareTextToLine({text: "txt message that you want to share"});

    });

when you call SendIntentAndroid.shareTextToLine this method, app will bring txt message to LINE, and you can select one or multiple friends to share.

Example / Share Image to Instagram

  import { CameraRoll } from 'react-native';

  //get frist image from CameraRoll
  CameraRoll.getPhotos({first: 1}).then(
    function(data){

      const assets = data.edges

      SendIntentAndroid.isAppInstalled('com.instagram.android')
      .then(function(isInstalled){

        if(!isInstalled){
          //Instagram has not install
          return;
        }

        SendIntentAndroid.shareImageToInstagram("image/*", encodeURI(assets[0].node.image.uri));

      });


    },
    function(err){
      console.error('An error occurred', err)
    }
  );

Share your first image from CameraRoll to Instagram.
