I am getting an error that i cannot attach empty file in gmail.I am trying to build simple app in which when i click on the button it show choices by which i can send image,But the below code is not working.
Please help i am novice in android.
code:
if(view.getId()==R.id.SendImage)
{
Uri imageUri = Uri.parse("android:resource://com.example.jaspreet.intentstest.drawable/"+R.drawable.image);
intent=new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("application/image");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,imageUri);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Hey i have attached this image");
chooser=Intent.createChooser(intent,"Send Image");
startActivity(chooser);
}
Try using this:
shareIntent.setType("image/png");
By using this the intent know that it will send .png file.
On this link you can find a list of all media type/subtypes
Try this
Bitmap b =BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.ic_launcher);
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(),
b, "Title", null);
Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(path);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Select"));
Try this snippet
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("android.resource://" + C.PROJECT_PATH + "/drawable/" + R.drawable.icon_to_share);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Select"));
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.

I have getting Image as String URL
But i have to pass this image as in content uri format
Something like this:- content://media/external/images/media/35001
How to do this??
I need the image URI instead of url then only i can share the image to social medias like twitter , facebook etc.But i am getting the image as string url.So i can't share the image.
below given is the code:-
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
// continue with your code
path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(context.getContentResolver(), bitmap, "Title", null);
image = Uri.parse(path);
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("text/plain");
share.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "I posted this text " );
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, image);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share"));
You can use following code to convert URL to URI:-
String your_url = "http://example.com.au/Images/8e6c8e7b-7b97-494d-ac8b-27064841dfd3.jpg";
URI uri = new URI(your_url.toString());
I am try to send pdf file from my app to whatsapp, and here is the code,
but something missing!!
it opens whatsapp and i can choose a contact but it says "sharing failed"!
the code
String PLACEHOLDER = "file:///android_asset/QUOT_2016_10(test).pdf";
File f = new File(PLACEHOLDER);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(f);
Intent share = new Intent();
share.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "hi");
share.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
share.setType("application/pdf");
activity.startActivity(share);
I figured out the problem, and here is the answer if somebody had the same issue. The problem was that I am trying to open the pdf from the asset folder which did n't work, and if would try to open the pdf from the download folder for example, it would work. Please refer to the the code below for the final correct way:
File outputFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory
(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS), "ref Number from Quotation.pdf");
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(outputFile);
Intent share = new Intent();
share.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("application/pdf");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
share.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
activity.startActivity(share);
File outputPath= new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/MyPdf/example.pdf");//change with your path
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("application/pdf");
Uri fileUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getApplicationContext(),
getPackageName() + ".fileprovider", outputPath);
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, fileUri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share it"));
It's technically wrong, what if someone has WhatsApp business or want to share file on gmail then use this...
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, _text);
shareIntent.putExtra (Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(_file));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser( shareIntent, "Share"));
In this u just have to add text and file
Text u attach will become subject in gmail and if you are sharing image on WhatsApp then text will become as image caption
When I captured full screenshot image, it was fine quality in gallery.
But when I share that image in my app, then receive other phone, it was broken.
Code has no problem because the same problem was happened in gallery share button. I use this code in my application
String Path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(Path, "/Screenshot_20141105"+".jpg"));
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "good"));
How can I solve this problem
try this
String Path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
File file=new File(Path, "/Screenshot_20141105"+".jpg");
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/*");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(file.getAbsolutePath()));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Report"));
Uri class implements from Parcelable, so you can add and extract it directly from the Intent.
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
Uri uri = Uri.parse(pathToImage);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
return shareIntent;
i was used above code for sharing image on social sites.when i posting image on facebook only text is posted and image is not coming.how can we get the image and pathtoimage is string variable i am getting sever image path and stored in string variable.but it is not working.please give any solutions for my above question.?
Try this
Bitmap icon = mBitmap;
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_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/temporary_file.jpg"));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image"));

Android Share Via Dialog
Image post into facebook wall from android sdcard
This is the solution I came up with:
This function allows you to share to instagram, facebook or any other app if you know the package name. If the app is not installed it redirects to the Play Store. If you send "others" as parameters, you will display a list of apps that also support image sharing.
shareImageIntent(mActivity,"image/*", "/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/Instagram/IMG_20150120_095603.jpg", "Instagram Sharing test. #Josh","com.instagram.android"); // parameters - for facebook: "com.facebook.katana" , to display list of other apps you can share to: "others"
public void shareImageIntent(Activity a,String type, String mediaPath, String caption, String app){
Intent intent = mContext.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(app);
if ((intent != null)||(app.equals("others"))){
// Create the new Intent using the 'Send' action.
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
if(!app.equals("others"))
share.setPackage(app);
// Set the MIME type
share.setType(type);
// Create the URI from the media
File media = new File(mediaPath);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(media);
// Add the URI and the caption to the Intent.
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, caption);
// Broadcast the Intent.
//startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share to"));
a.startActivity(share);
}
else{
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
//intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id="+"com.instagram.android"));
intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id="+app));
a.startActivity(intent);
}
}
You can not use Intent to post to Facebook. They have specifically blocked this. You have to either use their SDK or copy it to the clipboard and have the user paste it after the facebook interface opens. I am having this same problem.
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..."));
}
