Titanium.App.iOS.UserActivity

The following example demonstrates how to create a new UserActivity and mark the activity as the current activity Handoff should be using when switching between devices.

It is important to note that all activityTypes must be defined in your tiapp.xml before this feature can be supported. It is important to check the supported property on your UserActivity to ensure the activity created is supported on your device.

app.js

var activity =  Ti.App.iOS.createUserActivity({
activityType: 'com.setdirection.home',
    title: 'activity 1',
    userInfo: {
        msg: 'hello world'
    }
});

if (!activity.isSupported()) {
    alert('User Activities are not supported on this device!');
} else {
    activity.becomeCurrent();

    Ti.App.iOS.addEventListener('continueactivity', function (e) {
        if (e.activityType === 'com.setdirection.home' && e.userInfo.msg) {
            alert(e.userInfo.msg);
        }
    });
}

tiapp.xml

<ti:app>
  <ios>
    <plist>
      <dict>
        <key>NSUserActivityTypes</key>
        <array>
          <string>com.setdirection.home</string>
        </array>
      </dict>
    </plist>
  </ios>
</ti:app>

The following example shows how to add and delete a UserActivity for Siri Shortcuts on iOS 12 and later.

app.js

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
    backgroundColor: '#fff'
});

var btn = Ti.UI.createButton({
    top: 200,
    title: 'Delete UserActivity'
});

var itemAttr = Ti.App.iOS.createSearchableItemAttributeSet({
    itemContentType: Ti.App.iOS.UTTYPE_IMAGE,
    title: 'Titanium Siri Shortcut Tutorial',
    contentDescription: 'Tech Example \nOn: ' + (new Date().toLocaleString()),
});

var activity = Ti.App.iOS.createUserActivity({
    activityType: 'com.appcelerator.titanium',
    title: 'Siri shortcut activity',
    userInfo: {
        msg: 'hello world'
    },
    eligibleForSearch: true,
    eligibleForPrediction: true,
    persistentIdentifier: 'titanium_siri_identifier'
});

activity.addContentAttributeSet(itemAttr);

if (!activity.isSupported()) {
    alert('User Activities are not supported on this device!');
} else {
    activity.becomeCurrent();

    Ti.App.iOS.addEventListener('continueactivity', function (e) {
        Ti.API.info('continueactivity called');
        if (e.activityType === 'com.appcelerator.titanium' && e.userInfo.msg) {
            alert(e.userInfo.msg);
        }
    });
}

activity.addEventListener('useractivitydeleted', function (e) {
    Ti.API.info('useractivitydeleted called');
    alert('user activity deleted');
});

btn.addEventListener('click', function () {
    activity.deleteSavedUserActivitiesForPersistentIdentifiers(['titanium_siri_identifier']);
});

win.add(btn);
win.open();
