I have created database and there is Url of image and I want to show that image in my app which is working but now I want share that image in Whatsapp etc. Now what I need to change there as I didn't get any idea,how to do it?
Here is my Code:
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull final myViewHolder holder, int position) {
Picasso.get().load(mdata.get(holder.getAdapterPosition()).getImage()).into(holder.imgView);
holder.shareBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent intent;
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), holder.imgView.getId());
String path = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES) +"/share.png";
FileOutputStream 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);
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, bmpUri);
intent.setType("image/jpeg");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT," Hello Your's Images ");
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, " Share Images Via"));
You can do it using uri, and try to implement the next code:
Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(pictureFile.getAbsolutePath());
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.");
}
And that's all
I am using This Solution, its working fine with SDK < 24,But app crashed in SDK > 24

i want working on sharing .gif with available apps like whatsapp, but unable to get valid Uri of gif present in my drawable resource.
Uri path = Uri.parse("android.resource://my_package_name/" + R.drawable.gif_1);
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/gif");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, path);
there is lot of solution on sharing images but no solution on gif sharing, Please help
I found my answer, I just created a file with a .gif extension and it worked for me. See the code below:
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"));
}
if you want to take image from internal storage.
//this is method having internal storage path.
private String getFilePath2() {
String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
File myDir = new File(root + "/Gifs temp/");
if (!myDir.exists())
myDir.mkdirs();
String fname = "temp_gif";
SimpleDateFormat timeStampFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
"yyyyMMdd_HHmmss");
Date myDate = new Date();
String filename = timeStampFormat.format(myDate);
File file = new File(myDir, fname + "_" + filename + ".gif");
if (file.exists()) {
file.delete();
}
String str = file.getAbsolutePath();
return str;
}
// Then take image from internal storage into the string.
String st = getFilePath2();
//And share this by this intent
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"));
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(){

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.
