Share Plugin

Share Plugin allows sharing of text and images on Android platform.

For iOS version, visit https://github.com/cengiz-pz/godot-ios-share-plugin .

Prerequisites

Follow instructions on the following page to create a custom Android gradle build

• Create custom Android gradle build

Installation

There are 2 ways to install the Share plugin into your project:

• Through the Godot Editor's AssetLib
• Manually by downloading archives from Github

Installing via AssetLib

Steps:

• search for and select the Share plugin in Godot Editor
• click Download button
• on the installation dialog...
  • keep Change Install Folder setting pointing to your project's root directory
  • keep Ignore asset root checkbox checked
  • click Install button
• enable the plugin via the Plugins tab of Project->Project Settings... menu, in the Godot Editor
• remove/replace the $genname token from the package/unique_name field of your project's Android export settings.

Installing manually

Steps:

• download release archive from Github
• unzip the release archive
• copy to your Godot project's root directory
• enable the plugin via the Plugins tab of Project->Project Settings... menu, in the Godot Editor
• remove/replace the $genname token from the package/unique_name field of your project's Android export settings

Usage

Add a Share node to your scene and follow the following steps:

• use one of the following methods of the Share node to share text or images:
  - share_text(title, subject, content)
  - share_image(full_path_for_saved_image_file, title, subject, content)
  - Note that the image you want to share must be saved under the user:// virtual directory in order to be accessible. The OS.get_user_data_dir() method can be used to get the absolute path for the user:// directory. See the implementation of share_viewport() method for sample code.
  - share_viewport(viewport, title, subject, content)

Troubleshooting

ADB logcat

adb logcat is one of the best tools for troubleshooting unexpected behavior

• use $> adb logcat | grep 'godot' on Linux
  • adb logcat *:W to see warnings and errors
  • adb logcat *:E to see only errors
  • adb logcat | grep 'godot|somethingElse' to filter using more than one string at the same time
• use #> adb.exe logcat | select-string "godot" on powershell (Windows)

Don't use $genname token for package name in Godot's project settings

Using the default setting of com.example.$genname for package name (package/unique_name) in your Godot project's Android Export settings will not work with this plugin as the $genname token is not replaced before an Android export. Removing the $genname token from the package/unique_name is necessary for this plugin to work.
