Am I understanding the UIActivityViewController wrong?
from my opinion, I can pass text, images etc. to the UIActivityViewController and it will show exactly these apps, that can handle the file types I´m passing in. But it isn´t behaving like that! It´s just showing the standard apps Mail, Messages, Twitter, Facebook and Copy. These are not changing at all, regardless of what I´m passing to UIActivityViewController. I read that you have to subclass UIActivity to be able to support other Apps, but this renders the whole concept useless to me, as I have to know, which apps could do what.
Am I the only one that´s frustrated with this? Or am I just doing something wrong?
And to have some code:
NSArray *items = @[@"sometext", @"some longer text", [NSURL urlWithString:@"http://www.apple.com/"]];
controller = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:items applicationActivities:nil];
Expected: to have apps like Evernote, Instagram etc. in the ActivityViewController
I think your question is related to this one. It doesn't seem anyone has an answer for either of them. Seems like if you create a UIActivity , you can only use it in your app within your own UIActivityViewController .
