Hi,

I can’t share using Ionic and I need some help from you guys.

My controller looks like this:

.controller(‘MainCtrl’, function($scope, $cordovaSocialSharing){

  ionic.Platform.ready(function() {

		$scope.share = function() {
			alert("Share");
			 $cordovaSocialSharing.share('This is my message', 'Subject', null, 'http://www.mylink.com');

		}

  });

In view, I have button:

<button ng-click="share()">Click me!</button>

When I click in the browser I get error like: Cannot read property ‘socialsharing’ of undefined

I suppose I get this error because I’m testing in the browser. I tried to click a button on my mobile phone using Ionic View but when I click nothing happen. What is the problem?

Thanks!

The plugin is not working in the Ionic View app, because the it isn’t supported yet. You can find a list of supported plugins here. I suggest that you run your app on a real device.

// Android
$ ionic run android

// iOS (don't forget to install ios-deploy)
$ ionic run ios --device

You can make use of window.plugins.socialsharing object and call the functions like shareViaFacebook etc …this is working for me right now in all of my projects.
