Getting an absolute path to the saved image

[gabrielecirulli]

Would it be possible to have the plugin return a path to the saved image? I think this would be very useful, especially when integrating with other plugins, as highlighted here: https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/SocialSharing-PhoneGap-Plugin/issues/92

sure it's possible, I will add this feature asap. thanks for the feedback.

[gabrielecirulli]

No, thank you! :+1:

[gabrielecirulli]

I see your commits, awesome! Is it usable? :smile:

[gitawego]

I've modified only for android. iOS modification will be coming later.

[gabrielecirulli]

I see, thanks!

[gabrielecirulli]

I'll see if I can try forking and adding it for iOS, if it works I might send you a Pull Request. How does that sound?

[gitawego]

that would be awesome !! :) thanks any way ^^

Just wondering, does the iOS version display an alert once the screenshot is saved? The Android version doesn't seem to (judging solely from the code). Does it make sense to have this?

[gitawego]

I didn't have time to rewrite the ios part, it's in fact quite obsolete. if you could update ios code, that would be cool :)

[gabrielecirulli]

I'm not an iOS developer so I'll probably barely be able to make the change I need, but I'll see if I can remove the alert :smile:

[gitawego]

hehe. ok then. I will work on iOS version when I have time. thanks :)

[gabrielecirulli]

I'll share my progress, because I can't proceed further. I don't know how to send the results back to the calling function as a JSON object, as you did in the android version.

I found a seemingly valid solution in this StackOverflow answer.

It's untested, but here's a diff of the changes I've made that you could maybe use to get started: https://gist.github.com/gabrielecirulli/884f79e668401d5dc7d5

To get the AssetsLibrary framework you also need to add the following before the header-file and source-file tags for iOS:

<framework src="AssetsLibrary.framework" />

Please let me know if you manage to get this working, and thanks for the support so far! :smile:

Here's the full file, because I just noticed that the line where the save is requested got cut off: https://gist.github.com/gabrielecirulli/ef94c95b3b18c0b9d940

Whats about the changes for iOS? Is it already working in the latest version?

[mikowals]

Any chance this will be working in iOS sometime soon?

Just posted a fix for iOS callback in the wiki issues.
