# Class SharedContent

java.lang.Object
com.codename1.share.SharedContent

public final class SharedContent extends Object

Content shared into the app from another application via the platform share sheet (Android) or share extension / open-in flow (iOS). Delivered to the app through `com.codename1.system.Lifecycle#onReceivedSharedContent(SharedContent)`.

A shared payload may contain multiple items of mixed type (for example several images shared at once). File and image items are exposed as paths in the Codename One `com.codename1.io.FileSystemStorage`, having been copied out of the originating app's sandbox by the platform port, so application code is fully platform neutral.

Usage

    public class MyApp extends Lifecycle {
        public void onReceivedSharedContent(SharedContent content) {
            if (content.hasText()) {
                handleText(content.getFirstItem().getText());
            }
            for (SharedContent.Item item : content.getItems()) {
                if (item.getType() == SharedContent.TYPE_IMAGE) {
                    importImage(item.getFilePath());
                }
            }
        }
    }
