data.properties.description = "At ("
+ lastPosition.latitude + ", " + lastPosition.longitude + ")";
//When sharing an image, include a thumbnail
var streamReference =
Windows.Storage.Streams.RandomAccessStreamReference.createFromFile(lastCapture);
data.properties.thumbnail = streamReference;
//It's recommended to always use both setBitmap and setStorageItems for sharing a single image
//since the target app may only support one or the other.
//Put the image file in an array and pass it to setStorageItems
data.setStorageItems([lastCapture]);
}
//The setBitmap method requires a RandomAccessStream.
data.setBitmap(streamReference);
The latter part of this code is pretty standard stuff for sharing a file-based image (which we have in
lastCapture). I got most of this code, in fact, directly from the Share content source app sample, which
we’ll look at more closely in Chapter 12, “Contracts.”
With this last addition of code, and a suitable sharing target installed (such as the Share content
target app sample, as shown in Figure 2-22), we now have a very functional app—in all of 35 lines of
HTML, 125 lines of CSS, and less than 100 lines of JavaScript!
FIGURE 2-22 Sharing (monkey-see, monkey-do!) to the Share target sample in the Windows SDK. Share targets
appear as a partial overlay on top of the current app, so the user never leaves the app context.
