Manual installation

Android

1. Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainActivity.java

• Add import com.reactlibrary.RNReceiveDataPackage; to the imports at the top of the file
• Add new RNReceiveDataPackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

2. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

   include ':react-native-receive-data'
   project(':react-native-receive-data').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, 	'../node_modules/react-native-receive-data/android')

3. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:

     compile project(':react-native-receive-data')

Setup for new Activity to open (Required)

1. create a file /android/app/src/main/java/com/[project_name]/receive/ReceiveActivity.java with content as bellow

package com.demo.receive; // Your package name here

import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;

public class ReceiveActivity extends ReactActivity {
    @Override
    protected String getMainComponentName() {
        return "receive"; // this will be Component name to register using React Native
    }
}

2. create a file /android/app/src/main/java/com/[project_name]/receive/ReceiveApplication with content as bellow

package com.demo.receive; // Your package Name here

import com.demo.BuildConfig; // Take from Your Package
import com.reactlibrary.RNReceiveDataPackage;

import android.app.Application;

import com.facebook.react.shell.MainReactPackage;
import com.facebook.react.ReactNativeHost;
import com.facebook.react.ReactApplication;
import com.facebook.react.ReactPackage;

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;


public class ReceiveApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
  private final ReactNativeHost mReactNativeHost = new ReactNativeHost(this) {
    @Override
    public boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() {
      return BuildConfig.DEBUG;

    }

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
          new RNReceiveDataPackage()
      );
    }
  };

  @Override
  public ReactNativeHost getReactNativeHost() {
      return mReactNativeHost;
  }
}

3. Open AndroidManifest.xml and update

   <application>
   ...
   <activity android:name=".receive.ReceiveActivity" >
         <intent-filter>
             <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
             <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />

         </intent-filter>
     </activity>
   </application>

Usage

index.js

  import { AppRegistry } from 'react-native';
  import App from './App';
  import ReceiveData from './Receive';

  AppRegistry.registerComponent('demo', () => App);
  AppRegistry.registerComponent('receive', ()=> ReceiveData);

Recive.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
  Text,
  View
} from 'react-native';
import RNReceive from 'react-native-receive-data';

type Props = {};
export default class App extends Component<Props> {

    state = { type : '', uri: '' };

    async componentDidMount() {
        const {type, uri} = await RNReceive.data();
        this.setState({type, uri});
    }

  render() {
      const { type, uri } = this.state;
    return (
      <View style={{flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center'}}>
        <Text>{type}</Text>
        <Text>{uri}</Text>
      </View>
    );
