  • share_text(title, subject, content)
  • share_image(full_path_for_saved_image_file, title, subject, content)
    • Note that the image you want to share must be saved under the user:// virtual directory in order to be accessible. The OS.get_user_data_dir() method can be used to get the absolute path for the user:// directory. See the implementation of share_viewport() method for sample code.
  • share_viewport(viewport, title, subject, content)

Troubleshooting

ADB logcat

adb logcat is one of the best tools for troubleshooting unexpected behavior

• use $> adb logcat | grep 'godot' on Linux
  • adb logcat *:W to see warnings and errors
  • adb logcat *:E to see only errors
  • adb logcat | grep 'godot|somethingElse' to filter using more than one string at the same time
• use #> adb.exe logcat | select-string "godot" on powershell (Windows)
