Example / Usage of Text

var SendIntentAndroid = require('react-native-send-intent');

SendIntentAndroid.sendText({
  title: 'Please share this text',
  text: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, per error erant eu, antiopam intellegebat ne sed',
  type: SendIntentAndroid.TEXT_PLAIN
});

Example / Usage of SMS

Thanks to @pedro ;)

var SendIntentAndroid = require('react-native-send-intent');

SendIntentAndroid.sendSms('+55 48 9999-9999', 'SMS body text here');

Example / Usage of Phone Calls

It's very important ask for permission in your AndroidManifest.xml file if you need to use Phone Calls directly.

Please add this line to your XML before using this example:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

And them you can call in your JavaScript files:

var SendIntentAndroid = require('react-native-send-intent');

SendIntentAndroid.sendPhoneCall('+55 48 9999-9999');

Example / Usage of Phone Dial Screen

For this use you doesn't need to ask any permission.

var SendIntentAndroid = require('react-native-send-intent');

SendIntentAndroid.sendPhoneDial('+55 48 9999-9999');

Example / Create Calendar Event

According to Google using Intents for inserting, updating, and viewing calendar events is the preferred method. At this time only simple recurrence is supported ['daily'|'weekly'|'monthly'|'yearly'].

Create a Calendar Event:

// Create the Calendar Intent.
SendIntentAndroid.addCalendarEvent({
  title: 'Go To The Park',
  description: "It's fun to play at the park.",
  startDate: '2016-01-25 10:00',
  endDate: '2016-01-25 11:00',
  recurrence: 'weekly',
  location: 'The Park'
});

Example / Open Calendar

SendIntentAndroid.openCalendar();
