Hi,

does any one know if there is any callback method on contact selection on shareContent API to know who is picked up ? 

thx & rgds,

FWIW I am not aware of one. 

[chamarts]

hmm... 

[chamarts]

that would have been a good addition to the API. not sure why no one think of it. any votes to add this feature in future ? 

[peter_strange]

If an acknowledgement is needed by your application, then can't your application, on receiving the content, acknowledge it?

[chamarts]

true but to know if I want to show, how many of the shares were acknowledged ? I may not be able to compare how many of them were shared in first place.

[chamarts]

instead of void for the methods shareContent(), should return something like the BBMPlatformContactList like uiService.showContactPicker(). or should there be a method to suppress the contact picker for shareContent API.

not to rant, but i always hit some road block with RIM API and lot of limitations, I would say the API is not well thought out. 

[chamarts]

the problem with the acknwoledgement is that I end up opening up contact picker to send/share content again. or is there any alternative way ? 

[peter_strange]

No, I think you are right. 

Apologies, I was confused, I thought you were sharing data on a Session.  the points you have made are all valid. 

[chamarts]

is there a way to reach out to RIM on this ? any community manager here can make the vote/recommendation ?
