Send file through openChooserWithOptions about react-native-send-intent HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @RUIFERNANDE5

I'm guessing that is not possibile since we had JavaScript doing this "bridge" between RN and Native APIs, so we have to work with "strings"/text instead of Blob and files in method parameters.

But vcard/text are text/plain "files" so if you read the file content before call some JS methods, in this specifically case, it mighty be possibible.

Thank you for your fast feedback @lucasferreira, but could you elaborate a bit more please?
I would have to modify this module source code though, right? I can't just use the openChooserWithOptions method, correct?

If you don't plan on adding this feature, can you recommend any other package that does the job?

The method openChooserWithOptions was not built by me. It's a contribuition made in this PR: #26

I can't help you with the "read vcard file" thing, but since you got the vcard content in string format you could try something like that:

const myVCardContent = `BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:Gump;Forrest;;Mr.;
FN:Forrest Gump
ORG:Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
TEL;TYPE=WORK,VOICE:(111) 555-1212
TEL;TYPE=HOME,VOICE:(404) 555-1212
EMAIL:[email protected]
REV:2008-04-24T19:52:43Z
END:VCARD`;

SendIntentAndroid.sendText(myVCardContent, 'text/vcard'); // or text/x-vcard

Using sendText method you could pass some "mime type" of your content, so your Android Device could "guess" what the best app to deal with this "mime type".

Finally I recommend you to test in real devices with proper apps installed to handle vcard files.

@lucasferreira , yea that actually uses the share sheet I'm looking for showing my android device apps but I need the file itself not the content. Thank you anyway
