How can I get the Share menu option to let users add a caption?

Question

I'm using the Share menu option on a card, but it's not having the ability to add a caption. Anything I should do to enable this?

Answer 1

Yup, as of XE10 you needed to add a list of sharingFeatures to the Contact you want to share with. In JSON form you need to add

"sharingFeatures": ["ADD_CAPTION"]

to the Contact. So the full Contact might look something like

{
  "displayName": "Some Body",
  "imageUrls": [
    "http://example.com/somebody.jpg"
  ],
  "sharingFeatures": [
    "ADD_CAPTION"
  ]
}

Since you're using Java, make sure you have the latest library (v1-rev40-1.17.0-rc as of the time I post this), available at https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/java/apis/mirror/v1, which does have Contact.setSharingFeatures()
