Sharing to Facebook with ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE

I have been trying to share some images to facebook using the ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE Intent.
The code that i wrote for this is.
ArrayList<Uri> imageUris = new ArrayList<Uri>();
for (DeviceImage image : catchImagesURI) {
Log.d(TAG, "onClickShareFB: image uri " + image.getImageURI());
imageUris.add(image.getImageURI());

Is there something wrong with the format of the Image Uri or am i doing this completely wrong?

Is there something wrong with the format of the Image Uri
They are not valid Uri values. A Uri has a scheme. For example, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46152988/sharing-to-facebook-with-action-send-multiple is a Uri with a scheme of https. Given the paths that you are using, presumably the scheme should be file.
Whether Facebook can use file Uri values pointing to external storage is a separate matter. Probably it can.

You should follow the advice from android documentation.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.example.android"));

Opening image using Gallery does not show the Share option

In my app, I am opening my image using this code:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(picPathUriString)), "image/png");
startActivity(intent);
I run it on S2 and it opens the picture using the gallery as expected and showing all the capabilities of that gallery app (such as "Share" and "Send" ..etc)
On the S4, it shows the picture but the above options such as SHARE are not there. Although the Gallery on S4 has all the options if opened seperately
WHYYY? How can I make sure I get all the options?
Thanks

Try this....
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/png");
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(Uri.parse(picPathUriString));
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share via"));

Share image with other apps

Here is my problem... I want to share a png image. I have the image in drawable and assets. When I use the sharingIntent it works but not in the way that I want. The file shared appears with numbers and without extension and some apps send the message "unknow file". What can i do??
this is my code:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.example.shareimages/" + R.drawable.caja);
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/png");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "send"));
I tried to use instead of drawable files, the files in assets ( with this "file:///android_asset/...) but it didn't work

Try something like this:
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
// For a file in shared storage. For data in private storage, use a ContentProvider.
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(getFileStreamPath(pathToImage));
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
startActivity(shareIntent)
If you want to share it via the assets folder, you'll have to use a ContentProvider. See this answer on how to do so:
