The simple answer is no. There is no iOS generic "share" function. The share popups that you see from the builtin apps are not configurable by third party code, you can't change the list of things that you can share to within those builtin popups. Communicating between apps on iOS is very restricted. All you can really do is use the URL schema functionality to publish/subscribe to urls. So for example app A could register to handle urls staring with "myappa:" and other apps could link to urls in that format which open app A. It is up to app A to define what is contained in the url and what it means. You could in theory use that approach to create a favourites aggregator. But only if all the apps whose favourites you wanted to aggregate built in support for your url schema for saving favourites and also had their own schemas for launching favourites. Which just isn't going to happen. A similar scheme would be more workable on Android, but again only with the co-operation of all the third party apps/services you wanted to support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andynormancx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17417 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96726 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
