I have created a very simple UWP application with a single button. Clicking it should show the built-in share popup to share a PDF file.
The fact is that I have it working for Windows 10 (Desktop) but it doesn't work for mobile (the popup doesn't appear on the screen).
The PDF file comes as a byte array (because it will come from a remote service).
This is the code in MainPage.xaml.cs
public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
{
public MainPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
DataTransferManager.GetForCurrentView().DataRequested += OnDataRequested;
}
protected override async void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
// This should come from a service
PdfBytes = await Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.StorageFileHelper.ReadBytesFromPackagedFileAsync("Document.pdf");
}
public byte[] PdfBytes { get; set; }
private async void OnDataRequested(DataTransferManager sender, DataRequestedEventArgs args)
{
var deferral = args.Request.GetDeferral();
var si = await StorageFile.CreateStreamedFileAsync("Document.pdf", stream =>
{
var writeStream = stream.AsStreamForWrite();
writeStream.Write(PdfBytes, 0, PdfBytes.Length);
stream.Dispose();
}, null);
args.Request.Data.Properties.Title = "PDF Document";
args.Request.Data.Properties.Description = "Some description";
args.Request.Data.SetStorageItems(new IStorageItem[] { si });
deferral.Complete();
}
private void ButtonBase_OnClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
DataTransferManager.ShowShareUI();
}
}
Is it correct? If it's not, how should I share the PDF (from its bytes)?
