I can only speak as another CN1 user. Why are you opposed to using native code?
The native code to export csv I shared in the issue is fairly simple. It can be improved and simplified (now I know more obj c than I did when I wrote it. But it works) I used to dread writing native code (especially obj c). But learning how to add it to CN1 is very liberating, definitely worth the effort :) Best regards Javier On Fri, 11 Sep 2020 at 13:48, 'P5music' via CodenameOne Discussions < [email protected]> wrote: > I see that no iOS system apps can accept my data as URL. > Even if other apps exist that can receive data from my app in such a way, > I cannot rely on third party apps on iOS. > Then only option is native code, but I am not going to create native code > I think. > Furthermore the app can import, so the user would go through an > asymmetrical user experience. > Here's why the text-import/export feature could be useful, I think no > other options are left to share/save/backup user data from my app (json > array of elements). > > Il giorno venerdì 11 settembre 2020 alle 06:04:32 UTC+2 Shai Almog ha > scritto: > >> I'm not sure I follow this completely.
