Sharing

[Justin Waldner]

Is there anyway for me to share my app through e-mail, SMS, facebook, and twitter? Is there any function similar to sharekit or anyway for me to import the sharekit plug-in? Basically, I need four buttons where if the user clicks the "e-mail" button it will open up the mail app with a custom message and all the user needs to enter in is the to: field. For the SMS, when clicked a pre-defined text message would load in the messages app and the user would just need to type in the phone number and click send. And for twitter and facebook, pre-defined messages would load up in their facebook or twitter apps and they just need to click post.

Hi Justin - it's not clear are you building Mobile Web or Mobile App?

You can use any plug-ins in Appery.io, but you should implement them in native environment for the platform (Android/Eclipse, iOS/xCode).
But it looks like Sharekit plug-in is haven't been updated for 2 years.

I apologize I should be more specific - I am building a mobile app. I took a look at ATT SMS and SendGrid Mail plug-ins but from what I can tell this will send an SMS and an e-mail directly from the app. Rather, what I would like to have is for it to load the mail or the messages app within the iPhone itself with a pre-defined message. That way it would come from the users own e-mail or the users own phone number instead. And I couldn't find any plug-ins for FaceBook or Twitter sharing. I'm looking for workaround that will work well with appery.io

Thank you Justin. We'll look for a workaround for this issue.
As I understood you'll need an iPhone solution. We'll update.

To send an email with a predefined subject/mesage, look into using mailto: -- http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch...

As for Twitter/Facebook - I believe they provide widgets that you can insert into your app for sharing.
