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.
### Installation
```bash
npm install react-native-send-intent --save
```
### Add it to your android project
- Automatically with:
```bash
react-native link react-native-send-intent
```
#### Manually
- In `android/setting.gradle`
```gradle
...
include ':RNSendIntentModule', ':app'
project(':RNSendIntentModule').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-send-intent/android')
```
- In `android/app/build.gradle`
```gradle
...
dependencies {
...
compile project(':RNSendIntentModule')
}
```
- Register Module (in MainApplication.java)
```java
import com.burnweb.rnsendintent.RNSendIntentPackage; // <--- import
public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
......
@Override
protected List getPackages() {
return Arrays.asList(
new MainReactPackage(),
new RNSendIntentPackage()); // <------ add this line to your MainApplication class
}
......
}
```
## Example / Usage of Text (Share)
```javascript
var SendIntentAndroid = require("react-native-send-intent");
SendIntentAndroid.sendText({
title: "Please share this text",
text: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, per error erant eu, antiopam intellegebat ne sed",
type: SendIntentAndroid.TEXT_PLAIN,
});
```
## Example / Usage of Send Mail (text/plain only)
```javascript
var SendIntentAndroid = require("react-native-send-intent");
SendIntentAndroid.sendMail("[email protected]", "Subject test", "Test body");
```
## Example / Usage of SMS
Thanks to @pedro ;)
```javascript
var SendIntentAndroid = require("react-native-send-intent");
SendIntentAndroid.sendSms("+55 48 9999-9999", "SMS body text here");
```
## Example / Usage of Phone Calls
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:
```xml
```
And them you can call in your JavaScript files:
```javascript
var SendIntentAndroid = require("react-native-send-intent");
SendIntentAndroid.sendPhoneCall("+55 48 9999-9999", true);
```
## Example / Usage of Phone Dial Screen
For this use you doesn't need to ask any permission.
You can add an optional second parameter, to fix the default phone app.
```javascript
var SendIntentAndroid = require("react-native-send-intent");
SendIntentAndroid.sendPhoneDial("+55 48 9999-9999", false);
```
## Example / Create Calendar Event
According to [Google](http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/calendar-provider.html#intents) 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:
```javascript
// 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",
location: "The Park",
});
```
## Example / Check if an application is installed

```javascript
SendIntentAndroid.isAppInstalled("com.google.android.gm").then(isInstalled => {});
```
## Example / Install a remote APK
This can be used to upgrade your APK from a custom source or install other apps.
No additional permissions are required.
```javascript
SendIntentAndroid.installRemoteApp("https://example.com/my-app.apk", "my-saved-app.apk").then(installWasStarted => {});
```
## Example / Open App

// You can also specify arbitrary intent extras to be passed to the app
SendIntentAndroid.openApp("com.mycorp.myapp", {
"com.mycorp.myapp.reason": "just because",
"com.mycorp.myapp.data": "must be a string",
}).then(wasOpened => {});
```
## Example / Open App with Data

"video/*",
{
position: { type: "int", value: 60 },
}
).then(wasOpened => {});
```
## Example / Open Chrome Intent

Returns a promise with a boolean.
True if: the intent was handled by an activity or the browser opened the `browser_fallback_url`
False if both conditions are not fulfilled
```javascript
SendIntentAndroid.openChromeIntent("intent://www.spm.com/qrlogin#Intent;scheme=https;package=example.package;S.browser_fallback_url=https://www.spm.com/download;end",
