Hey @aasaikeyan08 Thanks for using the dev forum! There are a few functions related to this that should help. In `MobileMeetingService`: > **@brief** Notify the current user if he is sharing. > > **@return** YES means that the current user is sharing, otherwise not. > > \*/ > > - ( **BOOL** )isStartingShare; > > /\*! > > **@brief** Notify the current user if he is viewing the share. > > **@return** YES means that user is viewing the share, otherwise not. > > \*/ > > - ( **BOOL** )isViewingShare; And then `inMobileRTCMeetingDelegate` there is: > /\*! > > **@brief** Notify users that there is no sharing for the moment. > > \*/ > > - ( **void** )onOngoingShareStopped; Finally in `MobileRTCShareServiceDelegate` there is: > /\*! > > **@brief** Callback event when the share starts. > > **@param** userID The user ID of presenter. > > **@warning** userID == 0, which means that the user stopped sharing. > > \*/ > > - ( **void** )onSinkMeetingActiveShare:(NSUInteger)userID; > > /\*! > > **@brief** Callback event when the sharing content changes. > > **@param** userID The user ID of presenter. > > \*/ > > - ( **void** )onSinkMeetingShareReceiving:(NSUInteger)userID; Let me know if those are not what you are looking for.

Hey @aasaikeyan08 Oh my mistake! I thought I was in the iOS category. 🤦🏻‍♂️ @jon.zoom Will be able to provide those soon. Thanks! Michael ---

Hi @jon.zoom Could you provide for android ---

Hi @aasaikeyan08, I’d be happy to help! First, you’re going to want to retrieve an instance of the `InMeetingShareController` through `ZoomSDK.getInstance().getInMeetingService().getInMeetingShareController();`. Once you have that, you may listen for when sharing becomes active by implementing an `InMeetingShareListener` and responding to `onShareActiveUser` callbacks. To check if a user is sharing their own screen, you can check the return value of `InMeetingShareController#isSharingOut`. For more details on what you can do with sharing, please see the [InMeetingShareController reference](https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/InMeetingShareController.html). Thanks! ---

Hi @jon.zoom Thanks for the information It worked when i click the share-screen it returns the true But when i click picture ,documents,web url.bookmarks and share whiteboard How can we check with these Here i have used InMeetingShareController inMeetingShareController = zoomSDK.getInMeetingService().getInMeetingShareController(); inMeetingShareController.isSharingScreen(); Log.i(TAG, "onMeetingEnd: " + inMeetingShareController.isSharingScreen()); // for this sharing screen giving true when i share the screen Log.i(TAG, "onMeetingEnd: " + inMeetingShareController.isSharingOut()); // for this when i shared the documents,picture etc it returns false Thanks 🙂 ---

Hi @aasaikeyan08, thanks for the response. When testing this on my end, here’s what I’m seeing in various share scenarios: - Sharing my screen: `isSharingOut`: true, `isSharingScreen`: true, `isOtherSharing`: false - Sharing whiteboard: `isSharingOut`: true, `isSharingScreen`: false, `isOtherSharing`: false - Sharing photo: Same as whiteboard - Other user sharing screen: `isSharingOut`: false, `isSharingScreen`: false, `isOtherSharing`: true If you are not seeing the same values in these scenarios, please provide some more information so that I may attempt to reproduce on my end. Thanks! ---

Hi @jon.zoom I have checked my end but i’m getting the isSharingOut giving false ![Screenshot_20200911-095751_INVU Family App](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/8/8ba6b1d967c5a130ecbed674e937f9656b2d69c6.jpeg) InMeetingShareController inMeetingShareController = zoomSDK.getInMeetingService().getInMeetingShareController(); inMeetingShareController.isSharingScreen(); Log.i(TAG, "onMeetingEnd: " + inMeetingShareController.isSharingScreen()); // for this sharing screen giving true when i share the screen Log.i(TAG, "onMeetingEnd: " + inMeetingShareController.isSharingOut()); // for this when i shared the documents,picture etc it returns false Im using this controller for getting the isSharingScreen and isSharingOut But isSharingScreen getting true but not in isSharingOut Please check it Thanks 🙂 ---

Hi @aasaikeyan08, That’s strange. Can you please provide a sequence of events in chronological order to verify we’re taking the same steps? I would need to know all of your interactions with the app and exactly where your log statements are called from. Thanks! ---

Hi @jon.zoom Steps to reproduce 1. First i initiate the call so i’m a host 2. Then i click the share button-\> picture-\>files-\>it get to the phone gallery 3. Now the isShareout get false It is very urgent to fix the issue Could you give your code ? Thanks 🙂 ---

Hi @aasaikeyan08, I don’t think the code I was using to test this would prove any more useful that the snippets I posted earlier in this conversation. In order to help figure out why you are not seeing the same results as me, it would be helpful to know where in your code you are checking state here. Without that context, I am limited in what I can do. Thanks! ---

Hi jon leblich I have checked the boolean condition on when the application goes background Isscreensharing IssharingOut But isSharingscreen gets true My problem is issharingout is getting false when i shared the picture when zoom is on progress within the zoom im sharing the picture Thanks ---

Hi @aasaikeyan08, thanks for the info. Checking those values when backgrounding the app doesn’t necessarily align with anything that the SDK is doing related to screen sharing. For that reason, you may see some unexpected values returned depending on when the app is backgrounded relative to the screen share workflow. For the most accurate representation of the state of the `InMeetingShareController`, your best bet is to implement the `InMeetingShareListener` I suggested earlier in this thread. Thanks!
