Has anyone figured out how to share a file via invocation in cascades? If I do an unbound invocation I get the screen offering multiple invocation targets, but after selecting one, the invocation just closes without sharing anything. It is possible that I am formatting the uri incorrectly, but any working sample that anyone has would be appreciated.

Do you have the latest OS update for the Dev Alpha installed? I'm also using an unbound invocation for sharing and I just successfully tested sharing a PDF file from our app via email.

The file is stored in the home directory (data) of the local sandbox. I'm setting its "file:///..." uri and the MIME type on the InvokeActionItem. Do you have the correct MIME type set, e.g. application/pdf for a PDF file?

I have my MIME type set to 'text/html' the file I am trying to share is in the shared directory (which I can access if I manually attach a file to a new email). I set the uri in the format

uri: "file:///shared/misc/fileName.html"

 is this correct?

The MIME type is correct. But there is an error in your uri. You have to construct your uri this way:

"file://" + workingDir + "/shared/misc/fileName.html"

 You have to use C++ code to get the working directory:

QString workingDir = QDir::currentPath();

Have a look at this article for more details:

Thanks. That was the issue.

Now I just need to figure out how to dynamically set the uri...
