The “Open with…” feature can be found under different names in the Android phones, e.g: "Send to", "Share", “Share with” and "Open with".

Note

Please note that the “Open with (Share, Send to)” feature is disabled by default.

To enable this feature, pass true to GiniBank.setCaptureConfiguration(CaptureConfiguration(fileImportEnabled = )). Additionally, your app should declare intent filters for receiving images and/or PDF files from other apps and then forward the incoming intent to Gini Bank SDK.

...

Register image and PDF file types

Add the following intent filter to the activity in your AndroidManifest.xml to receive incoming images and PDF files:

Note

Make sure the name of activity used in the below configuration is the same as the name of the activity handling your SDK implementation.

In addition: Make sure that this activity is publically available.

Add the following intent filter to the activity in your AndroidManifest.xml to receive incoming images and PDF files:

Code Block
languagexml
<activity android:name=".ui.MyActivity">
    <!-- Receiving images: -->
    <intent-filter
        android:label="@string/label_for_image_open_with">
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
        <!-- The below SEND_MULTIPLE action is only needed if you enabled scanning of multi-page documents: -->
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND_MULTIPLE" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <data android:mimeType="image/*" />
    </intent-filter>
    <!-- Receiving pdfs: -->
    <intent-filter
        android:label="@string/label_for_pdf_open_with">
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <data android:mimeType="application/pdf" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

...

Code Block
languagekotlin
String action = intent.getAction();
if (Intent.ACTION_VIEW.equals(action) || Intent.ACTION_SEND.equals(action)) {
    ...
}

Launch the SDK as an activity

If the Intent passes the above check then register an activity result handler with the CaptureFlowImportContract() and pass the Intent to GiniBank.startCaptureFlowForIntent():

Code Block
languagenone
fun configureCapture() {
  GiniBank.setCaptureConfiguration(this,
    CaptureConfiguration(
      fileImportEnabled = true,
      ... // other configuration options
    )
  )
}

// Use the androidx's Activity Result API to register a handler for the capture result.
val captureImportLauncher = registerForActivityResult(CaptureFlowImportContract()) { result: CaptureResult ->
    when (result) {
        is CaptureResult.Success -> {
            handleExtractions(result.specificExtractions)
        }
        is CaptureResult.Error -> {
            when (result.value) {
                is ResultError.Capture -> {
                    val captureError: GiniCaptureError = (result.value as ResultError.Capture).giniCaptureError
                    handleCaptureError(captureError)
                }
                is ResultError.FileImport -> {
                    val fileImportError = result.value as ResultError.FileImport
                    handleFileImportError(fileImportError)
                }
            }
        }
        CaptureResult.Empty -> {
            handleNoExtractions()
        }
        CaptureResult.Cancel -> {
            handleCancellation()
        }
    }
}

fun handleFileImportError(exception: ImportedFileValidationException) {
    var message = ...
    exception.validationError?.let { validationError ->
        // Get the default message
        message = getString(validationError.textResource)
        // Or use custom messages
        message = when (validationError) {
            FileImportValidator.Error.TYPE_NOT_SUPPORTED -> ...
            FileImportValidator.Error.SIZE_TOO_LARGE -> ...
            FileImportValidator.Error.TOO_MANY_PDF_PAGES -> ...
            FileImportValidator.Error.PASSWORD_PROTECTED_PDF -> ...
            FileImportValidator.Error.TOO_MANY_DOCUMENT_PAGES -> ...
        }
    }
    AlertDialog.Builder(this)
        .setMessage(message)
        .setPositiveButton("OK") { _, _ -> finish() }
        .show()
}

fun startGiniBankSDKForImportedFile(importedFileIntent: Intent) {
    // Configure capture first
    configureCapture();

    fileImportCancellationToken =
        GiniBank.startCaptureFlowForIntent(captureImportLauncher, this, importedFileIntent)
}

Launch the SDK from a different activity

When your activity (declaring the intent filter shown above) is not the same as the activity from which you launch the Gini Bank SDK you need to create a Document from the intent first and then pass it to your other activity as an extra. There you can then launch the SDK with the Document.

Note

Passing the launch intent from the first activity to the other activity causes java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial exceptions when the first activity is finished before the SDK has been launched in the other activity.

  1. Create a Document from the intent in your activity A:

    Code Block
    languagekotlin
    fun createDocumentAndLaunchActivityB(importedFilesIntent: Intent) {
        // Configure capture first
        configureCapture();
    
        fileImportCancellationToken =
            GiniBank.createDocumentForImportedFiles(
                intent = intent,
                context = this,
                callback = { documentCreationResult ->
                    when (documentCreationResult) {
                        GiniBank.CreateDocumentFromImportedFileResult.Cancelled -> showCancellationToast("'Open with' cancelled")
                        is GiniBank.CreateDocumentFromImportedFileResult.Error -> showErrorToast("'Open with' failed with error ${documentCreationResult.error}")
                        is GiniBank.CreateDocumentFromImportedFileResult.Success -> documentCreationResult.document?.let { document ->
                            launchActivityB(document)
                        } ?: run {
                            showErrorToast("'Open with' failed")
                        }
                    }
                }
            )
    }

Get the Document from the intent extras in your activity B and launch the Gini Bank SDK:
