Share pictures in phone's gallery directly with app

Hi all,

I’m currently developing an app that uses a call to media.show to allow the user to select a picture from the local gallery or media library.

Although this works fine, it is a bit of a pain when the user needs to insert more than 2 pictures. Currently the user has to click om a button in my app to show the gallery, then selects a single picture, and is then returned to my app to add some metadata to the file. If the user wants to do this for many pictures, he/she has to repeat the steps over and over.

If I look at how other apps do this, e.g. social media apps like Facebook, Whatsapp and Twitter have a slightly different approach. The user starts with opening the gallery (via the OS itself, not the app), is able to select multiple pictures and then presses the “share” button that displays a list of options such as “share to Twitter, Facebook, Whatsapp etc…”

Is it possible with Corona SDK to have my app in that list as well?

Thanks for any responses.

Best regards,

~Rob

Hi Rob, did you ever find the answer to this? I would like to do the same.

Never thought of developing such a feature. It would really be great if we would be able to implement this strategy in Corona SDK. I would definitely love to give it a try. I will definitely come back when I get some hint to do the same.
