Share Media Task - windows-phone-8

Question

I'm developing app for Windows Phone 8, and i'm trying to share image via ShareMediaTask.
The procedure? that i use for it is as follows :
private static Microsoft.Phone.Tasks.ShareMediaTask shareMediaTask;
public static void shareCurrentCroppedImage ()
{
shareMediaTask = new Microsoft.Phone.Tasks.ShareMediaTask();
GC.Collect();
Debug.WriteLine("file path : {0}", currentFileName);
shareMediaTask.FilePath = currentFileName;
shareMediaTask.Show();
}
The path from console looks like this:
file path : C:\Data\Users\Public\Pictures\Saved Pictures\Lo_1.jpg
Unfortunately, when i call this proc ( from button click event ) the app shuts down, a black screen shows, but then suddenly workflow returns back to my app without any sharing UI. How can i fix this issue? Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

This is the code which worked for me..
I had created a PhotoChooserTask to capture an image or open an existing image from library and then when this PhotoChooserTask completes, I create a ShareMediaTask and set its Filepath property to The "OriginalFileName" filed from the parameter photoresult e.
The issue with your code, i think, might be this path of image.
private void OnShareMediaTaskClicked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var photoChooserTask = new PhotoChooserTask { ShowCamera = true };
photoChooserTask.Completed += OnPhotoChooserTaskCompleted;
photoChooserTask.Show();
}
void OnPhotoChooserTaskCompleted(object sender, PhotoResult e)
{
var photoChooserTask = (PhotoChooserTask)sender;
photoChooserTask.Completed -= OnPhotoChooserTaskCompleted;
var shareMediaTask = new ShareMediaTask ();
shareMediaTask.FilePath = e.OriginalFileName;
shareMediaTask.Show();
}
I have set the OnShareMEdiaClicked as ahandler of an onClick event for a button. and the rest flow is clear.
Hope this helps.
