Assign sharing reasons from Dynamically from APEX

Question

Was wondering if there is way to assign the Sharing Reason aka Rowcause Dynamically. Well tried to implement using this "Schema.MyCustomObject__Share.rowCause.My_Sharing_Reason__c" but here I have to fix the sObject and the reason. Is there anyway to assign them dynamically?

Answer 1

You can't assign them completely dynamically.

You need to create them from the point and click interface (Setup->Create->Object Name->Apex Sharing Reasons) or via the meta-data api.

myObject__share share = new myObject__share();
share.put('RowCause','APIOfMyApexSharingReason__c');
share.put('ParentId','...');
