PSActivityImageViewController

Overview

This view controller allows you to share an image the same way as a normal UIActivityViewController would, with one bonus: The image is actually shown on top of the UIActivityViewController with a nice blurred background.

You can add any items you want to share, but only the image is displayed.

A SwiftUI adaptation is also available, based on the excellent work in ActivityView.

Input

• image: The image you want to share and at the same time display as a preview.
• activityItems: All the items you want to share, with the image included.
• activities: Optional array of UIActivity
• excludedTypes: Optional array of excluded activity types.
• completion: An optional UIActivityViewController.CompletionWithItemsHandler to handle any code after completion.

Usage

UIKit

import PSActivityImageViewController

...

let activityImageVC = ActivityImageViewController(
   image: someImage,
   activityItems: [someImage, self], // or just [someImage]
   completion: { activity, completed, _, error in

       if let error = error {
           print("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
           return
       }

       // Do something with the rest of the information.
   }
)

// Important for iPad, as otherwise the app will crash!
activityImageVC.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = someView
activityImageVC.popoverPresentationController?.sourceRect = someView.bounds

present(activityImageVC, animated: true)

SwiftUI

import SwiftUI
import PSActivityImageViewController

struct ContentView: View {
    
    let image = UIImage(named: "Image")!
    
    @State
    var activityItem: ActivityImageItem? = nil
    
    var body: some View {
        
        VStack(spacing: 16) {
                
            Image(uiImage: image)
                .resizable()
                .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
                .padding()
            
            Button(
                action: {
                    activityItem = ActivityImageItem(image: image)
                },
                label: {
                    Text("Share image")
                }
            )
            .activityImageSheet($activityItem)
        }
        .padding()
    }
}

Warning

As is the case for UIActivityViewController, on iPad you need to specify the source for the popoverPresentationController.
