Methods

showActionSheetWithOptions()

static showActionSheetWithOptions(options, callback)

Display an iOS action sheet. The options object must contain one or more of:

  • options (array of strings) - a list of button titles (required)
  • cancelButtonIndex (int) - index of cancel button in options
  • destructiveButtonIndex (int) - index of destructive button in options
  • title (string) - a title to show above the action sheet
  • message (string) - a message to show below the title
  • anchor (number) - the node to which the action sheet should be anchored (used for iPad)
  • tintColor (string) - the color used for non-destructive button titles

The 'callback' function takes one parameter, the zero-based index of the selected item.

Minimal example:

ActionSheetIOS.showActionSheetWithOptions(
{
options: ['Cancel', 'Remove'],
destructiveButtonIndex: 1,
cancelButtonIndex: 0
},
(buttonIndex) => {
if (buttonIndex === 1) {
/* destructive action */
}
}
);

showShareActionSheetWithOptions()

static showShareActionSheetWithOptions(options, failureCallback, successCallback)

Display the iOS share sheet. The options object should contain one or both of message and url and can additionally have a subject or excludedActivityTypes:

  • url (string) - a URL to share
  • message (string) - a message to share
  • subject (string) - a subject for the message
  • excludedActivityTypes (array) - the activities to exclude from the ActionSheet

Note: If url points to a local file, or is a base64-encoded uri, the file it points to will be loaded and shared directly. In this way, you can share images, videos, PDF files, etc. If url points to a remote file or address it must conform to URL format as described in RFC 2396. For example, a web URL without a proper protocol (HTTP/HTTPS) will not be shared.

The 'failureCallback' function takes one parameter, an error object. The only property defined on this object is an optional stack property of type string.

The 'successCallback' function takes two parameters:

  • a boolean value signifying success or failure
  • a string that, in the case of success, indicates the method of sharing
