How do I use SharePlusLinuxPlugin?

Question

I'm trying to open an image from memory with the default image viewer on Linux. The class is part of the share_plus package. I can't figure out how to define the required UrlLauncherPlatform property.

I want to use it like this:

SharePlusLinuxPlugin(urlLauncher).shareXFiles([XFile.fromData(img)]);

I have googled this class, didn't find any usage examples.

Answer 1

From the source code on Github, it looks like shareXFiles() has not been implemented on Linux. To quote:

Future<ShareResult> shareXFiles(
    List<XFile> files, {
    String? subject,
    String? text,
    Rect? sharePositionOrigin,
  }) {
    throw UnimplementedError(
      'shareXFiles() has not been implemented on Linux.',
    );
  }

The same is true for the shareFiles() method.

Aside from that, there is usually no need to call SharePlusLinuxPlugin directly. The Share class is configured in such a way that it automatically detects the platform that it is running on
