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

e.printStackTrace();
}
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"));

share.setType("image/jpg");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"your text"); //want share text with image
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);

} 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 text OR Image On Whatsapp in Android

I am developing an application in which i have to share image and text on WhatsApp with in my application.
In IOS i have this code
NSURL *whatsappURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"whatsapp://send?text=Hello%2C%20World!&abid=143rnjk4545352523"];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL: whatsappURL]) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: whatsappURL];
}
How i will be able to do this in Android?Is there any possiblity to share text and images on whatsapp from Android app?

You can use Whatsapp intent to do so.
Note :- WhatsApp does not support messages with both pictures and text,so use below code to share text.
Share Text on Whatsapp
Intent whatsappIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
whatsappIntent.setType("text/plain");
whatsappIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
whatsappIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hello World");
try {
activity.startActivity(whatsappIntent);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
ToastHelper.MakeShortText("Whatsapp have not been installed.");
}
Share Image on Whatsapp
Intent whatsappIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
whatsappIntent.setType("image/*");
whatsappIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://" + file));//add image path
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share image using"));
Update
Whatsapp now support text (consider as image caption) with image as
Intent whatsappIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
whatsappIntent.setType("image/*");
whatsappIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hello World");
whatsappIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://" + file)); //add image path
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share image using"));
try {
activity.startActivity(whatsappIntent);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(activity, "Whatsapp have not been installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Currently Whatsapp supports Image and Text sharing at the same time. (Nov 2014).
Here is an example of how to do this:
/**
* Show share dialog BOTH image and text
*/
Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(pictureFile.getAbsolutePath());
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
//Target whatsapp:
shareIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
//Add text and then Image URI
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.");
}

It is Possible now for Whatsapp Chack your self.
As of Now Whatsapp Support share Image and text together.
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,title + "\n\nLink : " + link );
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(sharePath));
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share image via:"));
Image will be as it is and pass text as EXTRA_TEXT and it will be shown as caption.

shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "App - Link");
