Sharing Image to Instagram Story

Using sharing intent i tried to upload image to Instagram using below code
public static boolean shareBitmap(Context context, Bitmap bitmap, String textToShare, String packageNameOfApp,
String intentMessage) {
try {
File file = new File(context.getCacheDir(), "Share.jpg");
saveBitmapAtLocation(bitmap, Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, file);
Uri contentUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, context.getPackageName() + ".fileprovider", file);
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, contentUri);
String textToAppend = null;
textToAppend = context.getString(R.string.shortenUrl);
if (textToShare != null && !textToShare.isEmpty())
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, textToShare + " " + textToAppend);
else
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, textToAppend);
intent.setType("image/*");
List<ResolveInfo> resInfoList = context.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent,PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : resInfoList) {
String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
context.grantUriPermission(packageName, contentUri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION | Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
}
if (packageNameOfApp != null) {
if (appInstalledOrNot((Activity) context, packageNameOfApp))
intent.setPackage(packageNameOfApp);
else
return false;
}
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, intentMessage));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return true;
}
When i try to post directly to the Instagram story it gives a black screen with a Toast message Couldn't refresh feed

Set Instagram-app-package to intent-package will do your work.
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(YOUR_FILE_PATH))
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
shareIntent.setPackage("com.instagram.android"); //Instagram App package
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share.."));
Hopes it help you.

After long time research finally i found ans.
private void shareStory(){
Uri backgroundAssetUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, "your_package_name.provider", imgFile);
Intent storiesIntent = new Intent("com.instagram.share.ADD_TO_STORY");
storiesIntent.setDataAndType(backgroundAssetUri, "image/*");
storiesIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
storiesIntent.setPackage("com.instagram.android");
this.grantUriPermission(
"com.instagram.android", backgroundAssetUri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
this.startActivity(storiesIntent);
}

I had the same problem, and I found an alternative solution in my own question:
Xamarin Forms can't share image to Instagram stories
The only thing is that I'm developing with xamarin forms, not with native android, but I hope my answer helps 😅

how to share text+video in single intent in android?

Below this code i try to share text with video but it only share video,text not share with video.
please help if any one have solution of my issue.
String path="android.resource://" + "com.avani.videoviewdemo" + "/" + R.raw.ae_kaash_kahi;
//Intent a = getIntent();
file=new File(path);
str=arrayList.get(position).getVideoName();
Log.e("video_name", ""+arrayList.get(position).getVideoName()); Log.e("video_name",""+ str);
id = context.getResources().getIdentifier(str, "raw", context.getPackageName()); Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + context.getPackageName() + "/" + id);
DownloadFile();
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); sharingIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
Uri screenshotUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID + ".provider", file); sharingIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION); sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, screenshotUri); sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "From FullScreenVideoStatus"); sharingIntent.setType("video/*"); context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share video using"));

For set caption in video/image in share intent, just set text in:
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "Your text caption");

Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("video/mp4"); //If it is a 3gp video use ("video/3gp")
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/raw/ae_kaash_kahi";
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Video Title");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share Video!"));

intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "TEMPORARY"); // for text share
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri); // for media share
intent.setType("image/*"); // this line is use to filter which app support specified media formate to share
startActivity(intent);
you can use video/* for video file here i have used image/* for image share

How to properly create an Intent to refer like Tez?

In my app i have to add an intent to share my app. I looked through Tez, which shares the app icon along with a text which contains a hyperlink. How to achieve this?

you can try this one..
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(imageFile);
Intent intent1 = new Intent();
intent1.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent1.setType("image/*");
intent1.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "App Name");
intent1.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Download the app from google play store now - "+ APP_STORE_URL);
intent1.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent1, "Share"));
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "please try again", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
this will works : put image file and text box in share intent

private void prepareShareIntent(Bitmap bmp) {
Uri bmpUri = getLocalBitmapUri(bmp); // see previous remote images section
// Construct share intent as described above based on bitmap
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, getResources().getString(R.string.share_app) );
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, bmpUri);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Opportunity"));
}
private Uri getLocalBitmapUri(Bitmap bmp) {
Uri bmpUri = null;
File file = new File(getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "share_image_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png");
FileOutputStream out = null;
try {
out = new FileOutputStream(file);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
try {
out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
bmpUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return bmpUri;
}

It look like you want to create an referrer links for which try using this firebase service.Once you have got your referrer URL ready.Create an intent as follow to share it.
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subjectText);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_HTML_TEXT, "Hey!Checkout this app "+ APP_STORE_URL);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Invite Friends"));
**Note:**If you are using dynamic links you can add your app icon in the social meta tags param

Try this
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" + REFERRAL_URL);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "send"));`

Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
/**This is the image to share**/
Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
R.drawable.ic_launcher);
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.TITLE, "title");
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
Uri uri = getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
values);
OutputStream outstream;
try {
outstream = getContentResolver().openOutputStream(uri);
icon.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, outstream);
outstream.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.toString());
}
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "YOUR_BODY_TEXT_HERE");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image"));
I've tested the above code, it works as per your requirement.
PS: You need to have WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. Be sure to include it and handle it according to SDK's.

This code will share both the files together
ArrayList<Uri> myFilesUriList = new ArrayList<>();
myFilesUriList.add(); // add your image path as uri
myFilesUriList.add(); // add your text file path as uri
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, myFilesUriList);
startActivity(intent);
This code will share both the files Separately
First share the file then on Activity Result, share text Separately
ArrayList<Uri> uriArrayList = new ArrayList<>();
uriArrayList.add(); // add your image path as uri
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uriArrayList);
startActivityForResult(intent, 156);
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == 156) {
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("text/*");
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, ""); //"Subject here"
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "shareBody ");
sharingIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share text via.."));
}
}

It's URL Meta Data. These meta data is returned as response from server.
<meta property="og:site_name" content="San Roque 2014 Pollos">

Showing Thumbnail for link in WhatsApp || og:image meta-tag doesn't work

Step 1 - Read the image which you want to share
Step 2 - Store that image in your external storage
Step 3 - share via intent
// Extract Bitmap from ImageView drawable
Drawable drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.mipmap.launcher); // your image
if (drawable instanceof BitmapDrawable) {
Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable) drawable).getBitmap();
// Store image to default external storage directory
Uri bitmapUri = null;
try {
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS), "share_image_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png");
file.getParentFile().mkdirs();
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
out.close();
bitmapUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (bitmapUri != null) {
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "I am inviting you to join our app. A simple and secure app developed by us. https://www.google.co.in/");
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, bitmapUri);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share my app"));
}
}
Note - Add WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in your manifest. Ask runtime permission on Android 6.0 and higher.

You might be looking for deep linking to your app
https://developer.android.com/training/app-links/index.html
https://developer.android.com/training/app-links/deep-linking.html
Or if you want links to your app across platforms you can check out Firebase dynamic links
https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/

Copy this code into your toolbar/menu
try {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("text/plain");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Your Subject");
String text = "\nYour description";
text = text + "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=apppackagename \n\n";
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Choose "));
}
catch(Exception e) {
//e.toString();
}

Try this code:
int applicationNameId = context.getApplicationInfo().labelRes;
final String appPackageName = context.getPackageName();
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("text/plain");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, activity.getString(applicationNameId));
String text = "Install this cool application: ";
String link = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + appPackageName;
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text + " " + link);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Share link:"));
if you want to share your other apps from your dev. account you can do something like this
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?
id=Your_Publisher_Name"));
startActivity(intent);

Intent share is not able to attach image

Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "My text");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(http://onman.ir/colorfinder/sample.jpg));
sendIntent.setType("*/*");
sendIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Share using"));
This code is not able to attach image when sharing intent with Gmail, also it is giving error when sharing with Facebook that share multiple image or a video only. When I change type with sendIntent.setType("image/*") then it is opening the share window of Facebook but with blank text and image.

for sharing you can use this code
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"abc");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imagebitmap);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share using"));
but if you want to do in facebook it will not working through intent you should use facebook sdk to share image and text
FacebookDialog shareDialog = new FacebookDialog.ShareDialogBuilder(this)
.setLink(url)
.setCaption(getString(R.string.fb_share))
.setDescription(getString(R.string.fb_share))
.setPicture(
"https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/11899955_1616850925232395_9146772907853639083_n.jpg?oh=3dd7da7bf03edee84689d66af2024880&oe=56793D62")
.build();
uiHelper.trackPendingDialogCall(shareDialog.present());
dismissProgressBar();
and in your code you are sharing image url directly first you need to get bitmap then share bitmap instead of url

private void shareImage() {
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
// If you want to share a png image only, you can do:
// setType("image/png"); OR for jpeg: setType("image/jpeg");
share.setType("image/*");
// Make sure you put example png image named myImage.png in your
// directory
String imagePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
+ "/myImage.png";
File imageFileToShare = new File(imagePath);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(imageFileToShare);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image!"));
Try this code
Please note that when you use the setType() method, you are enabling Android to filter what apps can share your content. For example, you are sharing a text or URL, the appropriate apps to be shown can be Facebook, Messaging or Email. If you are sharing an image, proper apps can be Instagram, Snapped or Picasa.

#Override

}

}

emailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(imageUri.toString());
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,URI);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent,"Send Via..."));

shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
//set your message
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, msgText);
String imagePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() +
File.separator + "image_name.jpg";

Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(imageFileToShare);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(imageFileToShare);
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);

This one work for me
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, getResources().getString(R.string.share_subject));
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, getResources().getString(R.string.share_message));
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(yourimagepath);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Image"));

Share image with Android intent

I'm trying to share an image trough a share intent like this:
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("image/png");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, application.getString(R.string.app_name));
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,application.getString(R.string.app_share_message));
File image = new File(Uri.parse("android.resource://" + C.PROJECT_PATH + "/drawable/" + R.drawable.icon_to_share).toString());
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(image));
shareMe(sharingIntent);
The share intent fires correctly and I choose Gmail, everything runs as expected until I press send. I receive a notification "Unable to show attach", and the e-mail is sent without it...
Why?
Thanks for your time.

First, there is no guarantee that any given other app will be able to support an android:resource// Uri. You will have greater compatibility sharing a file on external storage or using a ContentProvider.
That being said, replace:
File image = new File(Uri.parse("android.resource://" + C.PROJECT_PATH + "/drawable/" + R.drawable.icon_to_share).toString());
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(image));
with:
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("android.resource://" + C.PROJECT_PATH + "/drawable/" + R.drawable.icon_to_share);
An android:resource:// is not a File, and probably you are messing up your Uri by converting to a File and then back to a Uri.

BitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable = (BitmapDrawable)ImageView.getDrawable();
Bitmap bitmap = bitmapDrawable.getBitmap();
// Save this bitmap to a file.
File cache = getApplicationContext().getExternalCacheDir();
File sharefile = new File(cache, "toshare.png");
Log.d("share file type is", sharefile.getAbsolutePath());
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(sharefile);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("ERROR", String.valueOf(e.getMessage()));
}
// Now send it out to share
Intent share = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/*");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
Uri.parse("file://" + sharefile));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share,
"Share Image"));

In my case I used:
Uri imageUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.examle.tarea/" + R.drawable.tienda_musica);
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("image/jpeg");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, getString(R.string.action_share)));

//open a share intent chooser (Will show installed app from which i can share //images)
private void shareImage(String imagePath, String quoteByPerson, String quoteToShare)
{
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/*");
// String imagePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() +
// "/myImage.png";
File imageFileToShare = new File(imagePath);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(imageFileToShare);
share.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Quote of the day-:" + "\n" + quoteToShare + "\n" + quoteByPerson);
share.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "Quote of the day-:");
if (imagePath.contains("android.resource://"))
{
Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(imagePath);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
} else
{
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
}
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share inspiration via..."));
}
