Hi,

I need to use the invocation framework for sharing in my app. I tried using the share target sample app provided on github.

I have successfully implemented the BBM but i want to invoke it using the framework. Has any one implemented it. From where can i get good samples for the same.

On sharing I want to open the list  BBM, BBM group, NFC, email, facebook, twitter etc. I want to use bb10's generic share.

How can it be done.

Regards,

Annuk

Hello,

I'm a little bit confused as to what you're asking.  The Share Targets sample does exactly what you're describing, no?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Actually, I want to implement the invocation framework for sharing my card on fb, twitter and BBM.

Can you clarify this statement: "implement the invocation framework for sharing my card on fb"

Does this mean you want to share a picture? What is a "card". Is this a custom card you wish to make? I am also a bit confused by your request.

Hi,

Thanks fior your reply.

I have an app which has a page which contains image and text. Now I want to share the whole page by using the invocation framework.

I am currently invoking fb, twitter and bbm individually. Now, on share I want to open the list of targets through which I can share and select one of them.

Can Image and data be shared together? Currently i am using the following code:

function shareData() {
	try {
		alert('in share data');
		var request = {
			action: 'bb.action.SHARE',
			type: 'text/plain',
			target_type: ["APPLICATION", "CARD"]
		};

		blackberry.invoke.query(request, function(response) {
			
			alert('GETTING RESPONSE');
			var targets = response[0].targets;
			var dataToAppend = '';

			console.log(targets);
			$('#shareList').empty();

			for(var i = 0; i < targets.length; i++) {
				alert('GETTING RESPONSE'+targets[i].key);
				var icon = 'file://' + targets[i].icon;
				var label = targets[i].label;
				var key = targets[i].key;

				dataToAppend += '<li onclick="shareDataTo(\'' + key + '\')"><div class="listImage"><img width="119px" height="119px" src="' + icon + '"/></div><div class="listText">' + label + '</div></li>';
			}

			$('#shareList').append(dataToAppend);
			shareShow();

		}, function(response) {});

	} catch(e) {
		alert(e);
	}
}


// share data to selected service ie. BBM,FB,Twitter etc
function shareDataTo(key) {
	alert('Sharing to: ' + key);

	try
	{
	blackberry.invoke.invoke({
		target: key,
		action: "bb.action.SHARE",
		type: "text/plain",
		data&colon;"HELLO SHARING USING BBM"
		//uri: "file://" + savedFilePath
	}/*
	, function() {
			//alert('in success');
		}, function() {//alert('in failure');}*/
	
	);
	}
	catch(Error)
	{
		alert('in error '+ Error);
	}

}

 Using the above code, text is shared succesfully, but I want to share image also along with it.

Regards,

Annuk

OKay, this is what I understand you wish to share the whole page, both image and text.

There are a couple issues with the code if you wish to do that:

1. Your request object uses a MIME type of 'text/plain'. If you wish to share image and text, you need to share something that is in fact both. The format of which you choose. I would suggest .html since it seems that is what you would like to share.

2. Same thing again on invoke. You invoke it with a mime type of type: "text/plain". Omit this field altogether. If you want to share the entire page then just send an invoke object like this:

blackberry.invoke.invoke({
		target: key,
		action: "bb.action.SHARE",
		uri: "file://" + savedFilePath
	}

See where that gets you. The framework doesn't specifically support and image + text format, unless you consider an .html page just that, which I would.
