As a beginner in android development, I am currently embarking on my first Capacitor Android app project using Quasar/Vue. My goal is to enable the app to receive files/images shared from other apps. Through research, I have discovered how to register my app as a share target.
In the Android Manifest file, I have included the following code snippet:
<activity
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|locale"
android:name="org.cordova.MYAPP.app.MainActivity"
android:label="@string/title_activity_main"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBarLaunch"
android:launchMode="singleTask">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:mimeType="image/*" />
</intent-filter>
...
</activity>
At this point, my app now appears as an option in the share menu for image files. Selecting my app from the share menu successfully launches the app. However, I am now faced with the challenge of handling the incoming intent. The official Android documentation suggests using the getIntent() Java API, but I am unsure how to implement this with Capacitor. The available resources in the Capacitor documentation are limited in this aspect.
How can I effectively receive incoming intent calls and process the data within my Quasar/Vue app using Capacitor? Is this the correct approach?
I would greatly appreciate any guidance or tips on this matter. Thank you.
