Sharekit2.0: how can I directly share to facebook and twitter, rather than via UIActionSheet?

Question

I'm using the latest Sharekit2.0 on a project.

Two buttons are listed ("Get votes on Facebook" and "Share on twitter") as attached, so I don't need a UIActionSheet to prompt. How can I directly share text information to facebook and twitter respectively.

Thanks

could you please try the following:

#import "SHK.h"
#import "SHKFacebook.h"
#import "SHKTwitter.h"

then for facebook

-(IBAction)forFacebook:(id)sender;{
    NSString *someText = @"This is a blurb of text I highlighted from a document.";
    SHKItem *item = [SHKItem text:someText];  

    [SHKFacebook shareItem:item];    

}

for twitter

-(IBAction)forTwitter:(id)sender;{
    NSString *someText = @"This is a blurb of text I highlighted from a document.";
    SHKItem *item = [SHKItem text:someText];  

    [SHKTwitter shareItem:item];    

}

please give me a feedback, thanks.

piam. I just found an exception when I execute on iPhone4S (iOS6）, the execution message is shown（http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13716185/shkfacebook-shareitemitem-execution-exception）. How can I fix it? I'm sure it OK on simulator with iOS4、5、6 — LiangWang, Dec 05 '12 at 04:55

Another Way:

#import "SHK.h"

-(IBAction)forSharing:(id)sender{

    NSString *someText = @"This is a blurb of text I highlighted from a document.";
    SHKItem *item = [SHKItem text:someText]; 

    SHKActionSheet *actionSheet = [SHKActionSheet actionSheetForItem:item]; 

    [actionSheet showFromToolbar:navigationController.toolbar];   

}

But you need to change the function favoriteSharersForType in shk.m to show only twitter and facebook options.

if (favoriteSharers == nil)
    {
        switch (type) 
        {
            case SHKShareTypeURL:
                favoriteSharers = SHKCONFIG(defaultFavoriteURLSharers);
                break;

            case SHKShareTypeImage:
                favoriteSharers = SHKCONFIG(defaultFavoriteImageSharers);
                break;

            case SHKShareTypeText:
                favoriteSharers = SHKCONFIG(defaultFavoriteTextSharers);
                break;

            case SHKShareTypeFile:
                favoriteSharers = SHKCONFIG(defaultFavoriteFileSharers);
                break;

            default:
                favoriteSharers = [NSArray array];
        }

        // Save defaults to prefs
        [self setFavorites:favoriteSharers forType:type];
    }

and change the variable defaultFavoriteURLSharers in DefaultSHKConfigurator.m to show only facebook and twitter like this:

- (NSArray*)defaultFavoriteURLSharers {
    return [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"SHKFacebook",@"SHKTwitter", nil];
}
