TTOpenInAppActivity

TTOpenInAppActivity is a UIActivity subclass that provides an "Open In ..." action to a UIActivityViewController. TTOpenInAppActivity uses an UIDocumentInteractionController to present all Apps than can handle the document specified with a file URL.

Please tell me if you use TTOpenInAppActivity in your App (just submit it as an issue)!

Requirements

As UIActivity is iOS 6 only, so is the subclass.
This project uses ARC. If you want to use it in a non ARC project, you must add the -fobjc-arc compiler flag to TTOpenInAppActivity.m in Target Settings > Build Phases > Compile Sources.

Installation

Add the TTOpenInAppActivity subfolder to your project. There are no required libraries other than UIKit and MobileCoreServices.

Usage.

We need do keep an referemce to the superview (UIActionSheet). In this way we dismiss the UIActionSheet ans instead display the UIDocumentInterActionController.
TTOpenInAppActivity needs to be initalized with the current view (iPhone & iPad) and a) a CGRect or b) a UIBarButtonItem (both only for iPad) from where it can present the UIDocumentInterActionController.
See example project.

NSURL *URL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"empty" ofType:@"pdf"]];
TTOpenInAppActivity *openInAppActivity = [[TTOpenInAppActivity alloc] initWithView:self.view andRect:((UIButton *)sender).frame];
UIActivityViewController *activityViewController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:@[URL] applicationActivities:@[openInAppActivity]];
    
if(UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone){
    // Store reference to superview (UIActionSheet) to allow dismissal
    openInAppActivity.superViewController = activityViewController;
    // Show UIActivityViewController 
    [self presentViewController:activityViewController animated:YES completion:NULL];
} else {
    // Create pop up
    self.activityPopoverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:activityViewController];
    // Store reference to superview (UIPopoverController) to allow dismissal
    openInAppActivity.superViewController = self.activityPopoverController;
    // Show UIActivityViewController in popup
    [self.activityPopoverController presentPopoverFromRect:((UIButton *)sender).frame inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
}
