react-native-process-text

An Android process text module for React Native.

This only works for Android. iOS wil simply return stub values.

Features

• Adds a function to read texts sent via ProcessText Intent
  • This text is stored by a ProcessTextActivity first. It then routes the intent to open your app which can then retrieve the text intent.
• Enable or disable ProcessText for your app

Installation

npm install "@vali98/react-native-process-text"

For React Native CLI

Add the following activity to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<!--
    android:label controls what text is displayed in
    context menus, change it as needed
-->
 <activity
    android:name="com.processtext.ProcessTextActivity"
    android:exported="true"
    android:launchMode="singleTask"
    android:label="Your Label Here!"
    android:taskAffinity="${applicationId}.processtext"
    android:excludeFromRecents="true">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.PROCESS_TEXT" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

Expo

module.exports = {
    expo: {
        plugins: [
            [
                '@vali98/react-native-process-text',
                {
                    label: 'Your Label Here!',
                },
            ],
        ],
    },
}

const App = () => {
    const [text, setText] = useState('')
    // useful helper functions

    useTextIntentOnForeground((a) => a && setText(a), [])
    // ...
