Passing docs between apps?

[sjordi 39]

Hi all,

I need my app to be able to receive docs sent from other apps on mobile devices. I guess that you have to use the Share option on any 3rd party app and then send it to my Delphi app... In a way, it's a manner of replacing drag&drop from the desktop.

Anybody knows whether there are documented guidelines on how to send documents to a Delphi app on mobile devices?
The share mechanism (I guess) has to be able to list my app as a recipient.
How do we make

1- the Delphi app available as a recipient (seen as such by other apps)

2-how do we trigger (react) when the Delphi app receives the document?
 

Thanks for any guidance if you already tinkered with such approach!

🙂

If I'm not mistaken, the search word to use is "intents" (at least on Android, shows you how much I know...). Google something like "delphi android intents"

Thanks it looks like this is the mechanism.
Got some info for iOS too
