Constructor Details

This class inherits a constructor from NSObject

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method in the class NSObject

Instance Attribute Details

- (UIActivityViewControllerCompletionHandler) completionHandler

The completion handler to execute after the activity view controller is dismissed. When the user-selected service finishes operating on the data, or when the user dismisses the view controller, the view controller executes this completion handler to let your app know the final result of the operation.

Returns:

  • (UIActivityViewControllerCompletionHandler)

- (Array) excludedActivityTypes

The list of services that should not be displayed. This property contains an array of strings, each of which corresponds to the value you would find in the activityType parameter of a UIActivity object. Each string you specify indicates a service that you do not want displayed to the user. You might exclude services that you feel are not suitable for the content you are providing. For example, you might not want to allow the user to print a specific image. If the value of this property is nil, no services are excluded. This value of this property is nil by default.

Returns:

Instance Method Details

- (Object) initWithActivityItems(activityItems, applicationActivities:applicationActivities)

Initializes and returns a new activity view controller object that acts on the specified data. It is your responsibility to present and dismiss the view controller using the appropriate means for the given device idiom. On iPad, you must present the view controller in a popover. On other devices, you must present it modally.

Parameters:

  • activityItems (Array)

    The array of data objects on which to perform the activity. The type of objects in the array is variable and dependent on the data your application manages. For example, the data might consist of one or more string or image objects representing the currently selected content. Instead of actual data objects, the objects in this array can be objects that adopt the UIActivityItemSource protocol, such as UIActivityItemProvider objects. Source and provider objects act as proxies for the corresponding data in situations where you do not want to provide that data until it is needed.This array must not be nil and must contain at least one object.

  • applicationActivities (Array)

    An array of UIActivity objects representing the custom services that your application supports. This parameter may be nil.

Returns:

  • (Object)

    The activity view controller to present.
