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.

text: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, per error erant eu, antiopam intellegebat ne sed",
type: SendIntentAndroid.TEXT_PLAIN,
});var SendIntentAndroid = require("react-native-send-intent");

var SendIntentAndroid = require("react-native-send-intent");
SendIntentAndroid.sendSms("+55 48 9999-9999", "SMS body text here");It's very important ask for permission in your AndroidManifest.xml file if you need to use Phone Calls directly. You can add an optional second parameter, to fix the default phone app.
Please add this line to your AndroidManifest.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", true);For this use you doesn't need to ask any permission. You can add an optional second parameter, to fix the default phone app.
var SendIntentAndroid = require("react-native-send-intent");
SendIntentAndroid.sendPhoneDial("+55 48 9999-9999", false);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",
