Receiving data from other apps via the sharing menu

[a.burks]

For a new project we consider to license Qt for cross platform development.

One central requirement is, that other apps can share their data with our planned cross platform app. You can find some documentation for Android and iOS.

Is it possible to implement this requirement with Qt respectively Qt for Android?

Hi,

AFAIR, you can integrate that in your Qt application but you will have to do some stuff manually as these are currently not something you can automate easily.

@a-burks take a look at this excellent blog post with working example:

thx @SGaist - but be aware, that my examples are working well with Qt 5.13, but I got some reports about problems in 5.14 / 5.15
...have to finish 2 customer projects before jumping over to 5.15

...stay tuned - starting in august or september I'll start a new blog post series 'HowTo prepare and refactor your mobile apps to make them run under Qt6'
while working on this I'll also develop new examples and try to prepare for a book 'Mobile Apps with Qt 6' in 2021

many of my existing examples are outdated or missing better recipes I learned last years (with all your help)

will also rebuild my Qt Conference App
