WhatsApp have added new feature display GIF.
if any one know how to share GIF in whatsapp then let me know
Try this....
private void shareGif(String resourceName){
String baseDir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
String fileName = "sharingGif.gif";
File sharingGifFile = new File(baseDir, fileName);
try {
byte[] readData = new byte[1024*500];
InputStream fis = getResources().openRawResource(getResources().getIdentifier(resourceName, "drawable", getPackageName()));
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(sharingGifFile);
int i = fis.read(readData);
while (i != -1) {
fos.write(readData, 0, i);
i = fis.read(readData);
}
fos.close();
} catch (IOException io) {
}
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/gif");
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(sharingGifFile);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Emoji"));
}
For share gif on whatsapp
/* Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,title + "\n\nLink : " + link );
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(sharePath));
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivity(shareIntent);*/
You just need to set the type of image intent as gif like below
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/gif");
I am trying to share image using intent. Here is the method that i created
public void shareImg(int fileNum) //Consider fileNum=R.drawable.img
{
Uri uri= Uri.parse("android.resource://"
+ context.getPackageName() + "/" + fileNum);
Intent share=new Intent();
share.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/*");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Sent Via ---");
Intent chooser= Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Via");
context.startActivity(chooser);
}
The image is shared properly with Whatsapp with caption. But when I try to share app with Gmail, Messenger, etc it gives error shown in Toast.
For eg.
Gmail says : Can't attach empty file
Messenger says : Failed to convert to image
You can share image using share intent, but you've to decode image to a localized Bitmap
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hey view/download this image");
String path = Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), loadedImage, "", null);
Uri screenshotUri = Uri.parse(path);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, screenshotUri);
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share image via..."));
loadedImage is the Path of image
Here is the steps you can perform.
Step 1. First create bitmap from drawable
Drawable d = ImagesArrayList.get(0);
Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable)d).getBitmap();
Step 2. Save Bitmap to File
FileOutputStream out = null;
String filename = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "temporary_file.jpg";
try {
out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out); // bmp is your Bitmap instance
// PNG is a lossless format, the compression factor (100) is ignored
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
if (out != null) {
out.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Step 3. Share this image File with fileurl. Share the Image same as you sharing gallery image.
Complete Answer
Bitmap bitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.xxxx); // your resource ID here
String path = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES)+"/LatestShare.jpg";
OutputStream out = null;
File file=new File(path);
try {
out = new FileOutputStream(file);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, out);
out.flush();
out.close();

I want share an album image from list url link.
Here is my code :
public void shareImg(ArrayList<String> arrUrl, String name) {
ArrayList<Uri> imageUris = new ArrayList<Uri>();
for(String path : arrUrl /* List of the files you want to send */) {
File file = new File(path);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
imageUris.add(uri);
}
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
shareIntent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUris);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share images to.."));
}
But it not run, what happend in here. please help me. Thank every one.
Try this code.
Here I parse images from bitmap to URI and put them to share intent
private void shareImages() {
ArrayList<Uri> uris = new ArrayList<>();
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.TITLE, "title");
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
for(int i = 0; i < bitmaps.size(); i++) {
Uri uri = activity.getContentResolver().
insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
values);
OutputStream outstream;
try {
outstream = activity.getContentResolver().openOutputStream(uri);
bitmaps.get(i).compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, outstream);
outstream.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.toString());
}
uris.add(uri);
}
show.set(false);
share.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);
activity.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image"));
}
Hope it helps :)
I want to share Text + Image together using ACTION_SEND in android, I am using below code, I can share only Image but i can not share Text with it,
private Uri imageUri;
private Intent intent;
imageUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName()+ "/drawable/" + "ic_launcher");
intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hello");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivity(intent);
Any help on this ?
You can share plain text with the following code
String shareBody = "Here is the share content body";
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject Here");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareBody);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, getResources().getString(R.string.share_using)));
So your full code (your image + text) becomes
private Uri imageUri;
private Intent intent;
imageUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() +
"/drawable/" + "ic_launcher");
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
// text
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hello");
//image
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
//type of content
intent.setType("*/*");
//sending
startActivity(intent);
I just replaced image/* with */*
Update:
Uri imageUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() +
"/drawable/" + "ic_launcher");
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hello");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "send"));
please have a look on this code worked for me to share an text and image together
Intent shareIntent;
Bitmap bitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
String path = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES)+"/Share.png";
OutputStream out = null;
File file=new File(path);
try {
out = new FileOutputStream(file);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
path=file.getPath();
Uri bmpUri = Uri.parse("file://"+path);
shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, bmpUri);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Hey please check this application " + "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" +getPackageName());
shareIntent.setType("image/png");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent,"Share with"));
Don't forget to give WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE Permission
also in facebook it can only share the image because facebook is not allowing to share the text via intent
It is possibly because the sharing app (FB, twitter, etc) may not have permissions to read the image.
Google's document says:
The receiving application needs permission to access the data the Uri points to. The recommended ways to do this are:
http://developer.android.com/training/sharing/send.html
I am not sure the sharing apps have permissions to read an image in the bundle of our apps. But my files saved in
Activity.getFilesDir()
cannot be read. As suggested in the above link, we may consider to store images in the MediaStore, where the sharing apps have permissions to read.
Update1:
The following is working code to share image with text in Android 4.4.
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getPath());
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Constant.SHARE_MESSAGE
+ Constant.SHARE_URL);
String url= MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(this.getContentResolver(), bm, "title", "description");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(url));
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share Image"));
The side effect is we add an image in the MediaStore.
I have been looking for solution of this question for a while and found this one up and running, hope it helps.
private BitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable;
private Bitmap bitmap1;
//write this code in your share button or function
bitmapDrawable = (BitmapDrawable) mImageView.getDrawable();// get the from imageview or use your drawable from drawable folder
bitmap1 = bitmapDrawable.getBitmap();
String imgBitmapPath= MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(),bitmap1,"title",null);
Uri imgBitmapUri=Uri.parse(imgBitmapPath);
String shareText="Share image and text";
Intent shareIntent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("*/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,imgBitmapUri);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareText);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent,"Share Wallpaper using"));
String bitmapPath = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), bitmap, "title", null);
Uri bitmapUri = Uri.parse(bitmapPath);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("image/png");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, bitmapUri);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is a playstore link to download.. " + "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + getPackageName());
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share"));
try using this code.I am uploading ic_launcher from drawable.you can change this with your file from gallary or bitmap.
void share() {
Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
R.drawable.ic_launcher);
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
icon.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
+ File.separator + "temporary_file.jpg");
try {
f.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(f);
fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "hello #test");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/temporary_file.jpg"));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image"));
}
String text = "Look at my awesome picture";
Uri pictureUri = Uri.parse("file://my_picture");
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share images..."));
Check the below code it worked for me
Picasso.with(getApplicationContext()).load("image url path").into(new Target() {
#Override
public void onBitmapLoaded(Bitmap bitmap, Picasso.LoadedFrom from) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Let me recommend you this application" +
"\n"+ "your share url or text ");
i.setType("image/*");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, getLocalBitmapUri(bitmap));
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Share using"));
}
#Override
public void onBitmapFailed(Drawable errorDrawable) {
}
#Override
public void onPrepareLoad(Drawable placeHolderDrawable) {
}
});
private Uri getLocalBitmapUri(Bitmap bmp) {
Uri bmpUri = null;
try {
File file = new File(context.getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "share_image_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png");
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 50, out);
out.close();
bmpUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return bmpUri;
}
private void shareImage(){
StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder builder = new StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder();
StrictMode.setVmPolicy(builder.build());
Bitmap bitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.Starlay_straightface_image);
File f = new File(getExternalCacheDir()+"/"+getResources().getString(R.string.app_name)+".png");
Intent shareIntent;
try {
FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(f);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG,100,outputStream);
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(f));
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Hey please check this application " + "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" +getPackageName());
shareIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
}catch (Exception e){
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent,"Share Picture"));
}
To share a drawable image, the image has to be first saved in device's cache or external storage.
We check if "sharable_image.jpg" already exists in cache, if exists, the path is retrieved from existing file.
Else, the drawable image is saved in cache.
The saved image is then shared using intent.
private void share() {
int sharableImage = R.drawable.person2;
Bitmap bitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), sharableImage);
String path = getExternalCacheDir()+"/sharable_image.jpg";
java.io.OutputStream out;
java.io.File file = new java.io.File(path);
if(!file.exists()) {
try {
out = new java.io.FileOutputStream(file);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
path = file.getPath();
Uri bmpUri = Uri.parse("file://" + path);
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is a sample body with more detailed description");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, bmpUri);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent,"Share with"));
}
I tried this solution with Android X and works perfectly with whatsapp, telegram and gmail.
This is my code:
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "<<sharingText>>");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("<<imageResource>>"));
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
if (getView() != null && getView().getContext() != null &&
shareIntent.resolveActivity(getView().getContext().getPackageManager()) != null) {
getView().getContext().startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, null));
}
By accident(the text message part, I had given up on that), I noticed that when I chose Messages App to handle the request, the Message App would open with the text from Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT plus the image ready to send, I hope it helps.
String[] recipient = {"your_email_here"};
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, recipient);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Hello, this is the subject line");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, messageEditText.getText().toString());
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
intent.setType("image/*");
You can this code it is working
Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.refer_image);
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/*" + "text/*");
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(this.getContentResolver(),
b, "Title", null);
Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(path);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hey I am Subhajit");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share via"));
File Provider:
it is good to use FileProvider to share image to other app securely.
it work on all version of android.
i tried it and works fine.

I am learning android and working on an application to takes pictures and send them through email. I have got the picture in ImageView in the code below, but am not sure how to send this picture as an email attachment, without saving the picture to file on the device.
Ideally i would like to know if that is possible? If yes can you point me the correct direction on how to implement the same. Also(optionally) if the picture can be compressed.
public class EmailPic extends Activity implements OnClickListener{
ImageButton ibEmail;
Button bEmail;
ImageView ivEmail;
Intent intentEmail;
Bitmap bmpEmail;
final static int picData = 0;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.pic_email);
initializeVars();
InputStream is = getResources().openRawResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
bmpEmail = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
}
private void initializeVars() {
ibEmail = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.ibTakePicEmail) ;
ivEmail = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.ivPicEmail);
bEmail = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bSendPicEmail);
bEmail.setOnClickListener(this);
ibEmail.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.ibTakePicEmail:
intentEmail = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(intentEmail,picData);
break;
case R.id.bSendPicEmail:
String message = "email Body";
String[] recipients = new String[]{"mymail.com"};
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("application/image");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,recipients);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "My Subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,message);
startActivity(emailIntent);
break;
}
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){
Bundle ext = data.getExtras();
bmpEmail = (Bitmap)ext.get("data");
//Log.d("StatusActivity","bmpEmail >>"+bmpEmail);
ivEmail.setImageBitmap(bmpEmail);
}
}
}
Try out as below:
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://your package name/"+R.drawable.ic_launcher);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,recipients);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Send your image"));
EDITED:
Declare the File variable
File pic;
In your OnActivityResult() apply changes as below:
Bundle ext = data.getExtras();
bmpEmail = (Bitmap)ext.get("data");
try {
File root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
if (root.canWrite()){
pic = new File(root, "pic.png");
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(pic);
bmpEmail.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("BROKEN", "Could not write file " + e.getMessage());
}
And in your send email code add the line
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(pic));
So, You want to capture the image from the ImageView, compress it and then attach.
Basically the process is :
Get the Image from the ImageView.
Convert to Bitmap.
Save it.(You have to do it in any case, if you want to attach it)
Hopefully you can delete it afterwards.
Attach to email Intent.
First of all get the cached bitmap of the ImageView
Bitmap myBitmap = yourImageView.getDrawingCache();
This will return the cached bitmap from the ImageView.
Compress it and save
URI FILENAME; //URI For the ImageView, we need earlier to send
FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput(FILENAME, Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
myBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 0, fos);
fos.close();
Create your Send Intent
String message = "email Body";
String[] recipients = new String[]{"mymail.com"};
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("application/image");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,recipients);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "My Subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,message);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, FILENAME); //this line is added to your code
startActivity(emailIntent);
You can delete the image afterward if you need to.
