How to share data to whatsapp on click of linear layout?

Question

Hello all,
I am new to xamarin forms and I am modifying a app and got stuck at a point and need your help. Actually I want to share data (image and text) on click of a linear layout directly to whatsapp. But I do not know how to implement the cross share function. There is already one function build and i just want to use that function to perform the task.
Here I am attaching the text file which have the code.

In the text file there is a function ShareOptionsLayoutOnClick(). I want to call this function on click of linear layout (i.e. ShareLinearLayout).90943-share.txt

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Just simply bind the Click event to the ShareOptionsLayoutOnClick method on LinearLayout .

In OnCreateView method

   LinearLayout layout = FindViewById<LinearLayout>(Resource.Id.ShareLinearLayout);  
    layout.Click += ShareOptionsLayoutOnClick;  

Update

There is one more solution , you can assign the event directly in xml .

<LinearLayout  
    android:id="@+id/ShareLinearLayout"  
    android:layout_height="match_parent"  
    android:layout_width="0dp"  
    android:layout_weight="1.5"  
    android:gravity="center"  
    android:clickable="true"  
    android:focusable="true"  
    android:foreground="?attr/selectableItemBackground"  
    android:orientation="horizontal"  


    android:onClick="ShareOptionsLayoutOnClick"  //add this line  

>  

Modify the ShareOptionsLayoutOnClick method as below

At last ,reference Mono.Android.Export in android project to enable the Export attribute.
