How to Share Both Image and Text Together in Swift

How to share both Image and Text together in swift?

Below is UIActivityViewController code is working for me. also attached screen shot for both the methods.

 func shareImage() {
            let img = UIImage(named: "SoSampleImage")
            let messageStr = "Ketan SO"
            let activityViewController:UIActivityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems:  [img!, messageStr], applicationActivities: nil)
            activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = [UIActivityTypePrint, UIActivityTypePostToWeibo, UIActivityTypeCopyToPasteboard, UIActivityTypeAddToReadingList, UIActivityTypePostToVimeo]
            self.presentViewController(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
        }

Screen shot for UIActivityViewController example :

Alternative Using SLComposeViewController :

func share(){
        let img = UIImage(named: "SoSampleImage")
        let composeSheet = SLComposeViewController(forServiceType: SLServiceTypeFacebook)
        composeSheet.setInitialText("Hello, Ketan!")
        composeSheet.addImage(img)
        self.presentViewController(composeSheet, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

Hope it will help you..

Do let me know if you have any query.

Sharing multiple images AND text using activityController is not working

Make that array a flat object and it should work.

example:

func share() {
    let activityItems = [
        "Title",
        "Body",
        UIImage(systemName: "keyboard")!,
        UIImage(systemName: "square.and.arrow.up")!
    ] as [Any]
    let vc = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: activityItems, applicationActivities: nil)
    vc.setValue("Testing", forKey: "Subject")
    self.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Output:

Basic example for sharing text or image with UIActivityViewController in Swift

UIActivityViewController Example Project

Set up your storyboard with two buttons and hook them up to your view controller (see code below).

Add an image to your Assets.xcassets. I called mine "lion".

Code

import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
    
    // share text
    @IBAction func shareTextButton(_ sender: UIButton) {
        
        // text to share
        let text = "This is some text that I want to share."
        
        // set up activity view controller
        let textToShare = [ text ]
        let activityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: textToShare, applicationActivities: nil)
        activityViewController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = self.view // so that iPads won't crash
        
        // exclude some activity types from the list (optional)
        activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = [ UIActivity.ActivityType.airDrop, UIActivity.ActivityType.postToFacebook ]
        
        // present the view controller
        self.present(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
        
    }
    
    // share image
    @IBAction func shareImageButton(_ sender: UIButton) {
        
        // image to share
        let image = UIImage(named: "Image")
        
        // set up activity view controller
        let imageToShare = [ image! ]
        let activityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: imageToShare, applicationActivities: nil)
        activityViewController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = self.view // so that iPads won't crash
        
        // exclude some activity types from the list (optional)
        activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = [ UIActivity.ActivityType.airDrop, UIActivity.ActivityType.postToFacebook ]
        
        // present the view controller
        self.present(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
    
}

Result

Clicking "Share some text" gives result on the left and clicking "Share an image" gives the result on the right.

Notes

• I retested this with iOS 11 and Swift 4. I had to run it a couple times in the simulator before it worked because it was timing out. This may be because my computer is slow.
• If you wish to hide some of these choices, you can do that with excludedActivityTypes as shown in the code above.
• Not including the popoverPresentationController?.sourceView line will cause your app to crash when run on an iPad.
• This does not allow you to share text or images to other apps. You probably want UIDocumentInteractionController for that.

IOS swift how can I share an image along with text using UIActivityViewController

For activity items you can give array of values so you can add another object as image

    @IBAction func Share_Action(_ sender: UIButton) {
            let image = profile_image_string[indexPath.row] as UIImage
            activityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: [Posts[sender.tag] as NSString, image], applicationActivities: nil)
            present(activityViewController,animated: true,completion: nil)

        }
