WhatsApp have added new feature display GIF.
if any one know how to share GIF in whatsapp then let me know
Try this....
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"));
}
For share gif on whatsapp
/* Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,title + "\n\nLink : " + link );
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(sharePath));
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivity(shareIntent);*/
You just need to set the type of image intent as gif like below
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/gif");
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 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);

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;

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.

I'm trying to embed a inline image in email body by saving in sdcard and then picking from that place but image is not being shown and just "obj" is shown there.Kindly help me out,here is the code of my function:
{
Bitmap newImg=BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(img,0,img.length);
String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
File myDir = new File(root + "/saved_images");
myDir.mkdirs();
String fname = "stoneage.jpg";
File file = new File (myDir, fname);
try{
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
newImg.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Uri uri = null;
uri = Uri.parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/saved_images/"+fname);
String txtBody = "<html><body><h1>hi it is stoneage product</h1><br><img src ="+uri+"/></body></html>";
Log.d("data", txtBody);
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("text/html");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "testemail");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(txtBody));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Email:")); }
Try this to save the file:
try {
File myFile = new File("/sdcard/mysdfile.jpg");
myFile.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(myFile);
OutputStreamWriter myOutWriter =
new OutputStreamWriter(fOut);
myOutWriter.append(txtData.getText());
myOutWriter.close();
fOut.close();
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
"Done writing SD 'mysdfile.txt'",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), e.getMessage(),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("application/image");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{strEmail});
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"Test Subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "From My App");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///mnt/sdcard/mysdfile.jpg"));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
And make sure you add the correct permission in your manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">
I'm new here on stackoverflow. I have a little problem with my Android app, expecially with an ImageView that triggers an event on tap. This event opens an email client with some pre-written text and it should attach the image of the Image. I already know that the image should be converted into a bitmap before, then compressed and send it to the email client, but unfortunatly I'm not an Android/Java expert so I can't find how to do that. This is the code of the email method:
new code below
Where I have to replace "String imageURI = null;" with what the email needs as image. Thank you all!
EDIT:
I managed to edit my code to this, that gives no errors:
public void sendMail(ImageView image){
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
int imageURI = R.drawable.img1;
i.setType("text/plain");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL , new String[]{"destinatario#globelife.biz"});
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Oggetto");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT , "Globelife");
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
i.setType("image/jpeg");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("android.resource://"+getPackageName()+"/"+imageURI));
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(Test01Activity.this, "Non sono presenti app per l'invio di e-mails.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
But I need to change "int imageURI = R.drawable.img1;" to "int imageURI = ImageView.src;" or something like that
try this
ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.splashImageView);
Drawable d =iv.getBackground();
BitmapDrawable bitDw = ((BitmapDrawable) d);
Bitmap bitmap = bitDw.getBitmap();
File mFile = savebitmap(bitmap);
and then
Uri u = null;
u = Uri.fromFile(mFile);
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("image/*");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Hello...");
// + "\n\r" + "\n\r" +
// feed.get(Selectedposition).DETAIL_OBJECT.IMG_URL
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Your tsxt here");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, u);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email..."));
