How to handle click of types of UIActivityController in iOS?

Question

In my application want to handle click of UIActivityTypePostToFacebook. So how to achieve this click event. Please check my code : #define SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending)

     NSString *aText = @"Google";
     UIImage *aPhoto = [UIImage imageNamed:@"3.png"];
     NSURL *website = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com/"];



     NSArray *objectsToShare = @[aText, aPhoto, website];

     NSArray * applicationActivities = nil;

     UIActivityViewController * activityViewController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:objectsToShare applicationActivities:applicationActivities];

     activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = @[
                                                      UIActivityTypePostToWeibo,
                                                      UIActivityTypeAssignToContact,
                                                      UIActivityTypeAirDrop,
                                                      UIActivityTypeAddToReadingList,
                                                      UIActivityTypeCopyToPasteboard,
                                                      UIActivityTypeSaveToCameraRoll,
                                                      UIActivityTypePrint,
                                                      UIActivityTypePostToFlickr,
                                                      UIActivityTypePostToTencentWeibo,

                                                      // Whatever you want to exclude
                                                      ];

     if(SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"8.0")){

         activityViewController.popoverPresentationController.sourceView =
        self.view;
     }
     if(isiPhone)
     {
        [self presentViewController:activityViewController animated:YES completion:nil];

     }
     else{
         UIPopoverController *popup = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:activityViewController];
         [popup presentPopoverFromRect:CGRectMake(0, screenheight, 768, 0)inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
     }

activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = @[
                                                  UIActivityTypePostToWeibo,
                                                  UIActivityTypeAssignToContact,
                                                  UIActivityTypeAirDrop,
                                                  UIActivityTypeAddToReadingList,
                                                  UIActivityTypeCopyToPasteboard,
                                                  UIActivityTypeSaveToCameraRoll,
                                                  UIActivityTypePrint,
                                                  UIActivityTypePostToFlickr,
                                                  UIActivityTypePostToTencentWeibo,


UIActivityTypePostToFacebook, UIActivityTypePostToTwitter, 

                                                  // Whatever you want to exclude
                                                  ];  


  if(isiPhone)
 {
    [self presentViewController:activityViewController animated:YES completion:nil];

 }
 else{
     UIPopoverController *popup = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:activityViewController];
     [popup presentPopoverFromRect:CGRectMake(0, screenheight, 768, 0)inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
 }


[activityViewController setCompletionHandler:^(NSString *act, BOOL done)
 {
 NSString *ServiceMsg = nil;
 if ( [act isEqualToString:UIActivityTypeMail] )           ServiceMsg = @"Mail sended!";
 if ( [act isEqualToString:UIActivityTypePostToTwitter] )  ServiceMsg = @"Post on twitter, ok!";
 if ( [act isEqualToString:UIActivityTypePostToFacebook] ) ServiceMsg = @"Post on facebook, ok!";
 if ( [act isEqualToString:UIActivityTypeMessage] )        ServiceMsg = @"SMS sended!";
 if ( done )
 {
   UIAlertView *Alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:ServiceMsg message:@"" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
   [Alert show];

 }
 }];

Choice-2

if above choice not working well try choice 2 , add UIActivityItemSource in your .h file

then call the following method in your .m file

 - (id) activityViewController:(UIActivityViewController *)activityViewController
      itemForActivityType:(NSString *)activityType
{
 if ( [activityType isEqualToString:UIActivityTypePostToTwitter] )
return @"This is a #twitter post!";
if ( [activityType isEqualToString:UIActivityTypePostToFacebook] )
return @"This is a facebook post!";
 if ( [activityType isEqualToString:UIActivityTypeMessage] )
return @"SMS message text";
 if ( [activityType isEqualToString:UIActivityTypeMail] )
return @"Email text here!";
 if ( [activityType isEqualToString:@"it.albertopasca.myApp"] )
return @"OpenMyapp custom text";
 return nil;
 }
