Share easily and directly to Instagram.

instashare

Share easily and directly to Instagram.

Inspired and adapted from attilaroy (iOS) and romatroskin (Android)

Android

You don't need to configure anything for Android.

iOS

Open your info.plist and add

<plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
        ...

        <key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
        <array>
            <string>instagram</string>
        </array>
        <key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
        <string>This app needs to access your camera so you can take and add photos easily into the app.</string>
        <key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
        <string>This app needs access to your gallery so you can pick images or share to Instagram.</string>

        ...
    </dict>
</plist>

Mind that you can write anything inside the NSCameraUsageDescription and NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription <string> block. This is just an example text.

Usage

In your .dart file import the library with

import 'package:instashare/instashare.dart';

then call the method with (eg.)

Future<void> sharePost(File file) {
    int result = await Instashare.shareToFeedInstagram("image/*", file.path);
    if (result != InstashareStatus.Done.index) {
        throw (result);
    }
}

as you can see i added multiple result integers as an return value.

You can check the result against those:

- InstashareStatus.Done (equals to 0)
  // Successful sharing

- InstashareStatus.WriteFileError (equals to 1)
  // Writing the file did not work (iOS only)

- InstashareStatus.WritePhotoAlbumError (equals to 2)
  // Writing the file to Photo Album did not work (iOS only)

- InstashareStatus.InstagramNotInstalledError (equals to 3)
  // Instagram is not installed (or at least is not recognized)

- InstashareStatus.AccessingPhotosError (equals to 4)
  // User did not allow to access photo library (iOS only)

Mind: Always use the .index function like InstashareStatus.Done.index to compare against the result.

Example

You can also simply use my example app and check out the code.

1. Open your emulator or connect your device
2. cd example
3. flutter run -t lib/main.dart --debug

Todo

• If possible remember the generated photo (iOS only) in the gallery and delete it when the user comes back into the app.
