Share to Reels

Android Sample App

This is an Android sample app with integrations for sharing to Facebook and Instagram Reels. After running the app, you will reach a screen where you can upload media from your phone's gallery app.

You can choose to share with or without a sticker. If you choose one of the sticker options, the media is shared with an embedded sticker.

The integration code is available under app/src/main/java/com/example/android_share_to_reels. There, you can find buttons for sharing to Reels. Each button has an onClick event listener. You can find the code for the Share to Reels integration there.

⚠️ You will need to enable FacebookSdk for your project. Follow the instructions on this link for that.
