How to send Image from Firebase Database ?

I have created Database in firebase and from there I am getting an Url of Image. So I want to share that image but below code did not work for me... Please Help me.
String pictureFile = mdata.get(holder.getHolderPosition).getImage();
Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(pictureFile);
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
//Send to Whattssap
shareIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
//Even you can add text to the image
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, picture_text);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
try {
startActivity(shareIntent);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
ToastHelper.MakeShortText("Whatsapp have not been installed.");
}

You can upload your image in Firebase Storage. here's the link Documentation

How to I get rid of this problem?

You can't share drawable directly
First create a file from drawable then share it
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/jpg");
File image = new File(getFilesDir(), "foo.jpg");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(image));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share image via"));

my answer is simple first download image from sever and then share image on whatsapp
try this code
String imagePath =Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "your folderpath"+"imagename";
File f=new File(imagePath);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(f);
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
share.setType("image/jpg");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"your text"); //want share text with image
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
share.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
try {
startActivity(share);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapp")));
}

You are getting issue because you are sharing image and text both
Infact whatsapp doesn't allow to share image and text simultaneously, try either image only

Share of Whatsapp and facebook along with text and image

I wanted to share my image to social site along with textlink and image , I am using below code , it does share Image but no text , Also I tried to set setype to "text/html" , it does not does what i need.
protected void onPostExecute(String args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "http://www.google.com");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://" + file.getAbsolutePath()));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image"));
pDialog.dismiss();
}

Give this a try
Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(Filepath);
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "My sample image text");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
try {
startActivity(shareIntent);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
ToastHelper.MakeShortText("Kindly install whatsapp first");
}
PS: For sharing in multiple apps just create an alert dialogue and add
whtsapp,fb and other sharing option and while clicking on them you
have to call specific intent for this.As per my knowledge for sharing
in facebook you must impliment it's sdk, though facebook is able to
share simple image and hyperlink without integrating sdk.

Can we share image/text to whatsapp to specific contact number in android

In my application i need to share image/text to whatsapp. Sharing images or text is working fine. But my requirement is sharing images/text to specific recipant. For that i have mobile number. So before sharing, first of all that number is having whatsapp or not?. Then if the number having whatsapp, then bydefault select that specific number. If the number is not having whatsapp then simply redirect to whatspp. then they select the recipant and share to that recipant.
For sharing i am using the following code. This code is working fine for sharing.
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
if (images.size() > 0) {
Log.e("count==", "val## " + images.size());
shareIntent
.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, images);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, title);
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
} else {
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, title);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
}
shareIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
try {
startActivity(shareIntent);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(ManageOnlineBuyLeadActivity.this,
"Whatsapp have not been installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
And for sharing particular recipant i have changed the follwing lines
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
to
Uri mUri = Uri.parse("smsto:+number");
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, mUri);
But it is not working. For this i googled alot. So please guide me how to do this. Is it possible to share particular recipant or not?
Thank you all..

The easiest way I know is by calling the following method (Use the String variable message to input the text you want to send via WhatAapp):
private void sendWhatsapp(String message){
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
sendIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
if (sendIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivity(sendIntent);
}
}

I have a solution to send text only to a specific recipient. For sending an image to a specific recipient I am also using this.
String smsNumber = "Your specific contact No. here! ";
String msg = "Your message here!";
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone="+smsNumber +"&text="+msg);
try {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(uri);
startActivity(intent);
} catch(Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Error/n" + e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
