Feature request: trigger context capture without gesture

[michaelpetrov]

I would like to be able to trigger the context capture without the long press gesture. When I integrated the framework into a more complex app (Dropbox) the long press gesture did not seem to be detected. It likely conflicts with the many other custom things that we have in the app when the UI gets constructed. I tried to debug it but got as far as manually calling sl_triggerActions: on the key window which did not seem to work.

Would it be possible to expose a method on the Smartling object to trigger context capture? I can then integrate it into our own UI and trigger it in a more reliable way.

Thanks in advance!

Great idea Michael, I'm going to add this.

[Smartling captureWindow:<UIWindow> withCompletion:^(NSError *error) {
    // Error handling
}];

Added in version 1.4.0. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Awesome! Will try it today and report back. Thank you for the super rapid response.

I'm making progress with the integration but running into this error from captureWindow::

I think it's having trouble matching up strings somewhere. Any pointers for debugging this further? Thanks!

Hi Michael, in Context Capture mode the SDK tries to download strings when the app starts, that's where it gets these UIDs it's telling you about. What are you seeing in the logs at launch? Is there an error while downloading strings?

@michaelpetrov any updates on this issue?
