Share Intent.ACTION_SEND

Share Intent.ACTION_SEND - android

I would love to share a picture with a text or url.
I'm using this code but I am only sharing the image, and changing the order of the "type" makes me share both but only as email / gmail
What am I doing wrong? my code is:
edit1
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
share.setType("*/*");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/Wallpaper/1.jpg"));
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "helloworld");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, (getApplicationContext().getString(R.string.condividi))));

try this
File DoutFile = new File(path);
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/*");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(DoutFile));
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
"" + getResources().getString(R.string.app_name));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image"));

Specify MIME type also for the text. "text/plain" is the type of text data MIME. Try using "*/*" as MIME, so you can send any generic data type.
Also try changing ACTION_SEND to ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE which specialized for delivering multiple data.
More info about ACTION_SEND_MULTPLE and handling MIME types:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html

If you want to send multiple files then use the following code :-
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Add any subject");
intent.setType("image/*"); /* sharing any type of image. Modify to your need */
ArrayList<Uri> files = new ArrayList<Uri>();
for(String path : filesToSend /* List of images you want to send */) {
File file = new File(path);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
files.add(uri);
}
intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, files); /* adding files to intent */
startActivity(intent);

Share pdf file via whatsapp from my app on Android

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

Sending image via WhatsApp to specific recipient (Android)

I'm sharing my images via WhatsApp - but I have to choose the recipient.
Here is my code:
public static void shareImage(Context context,String path, String text, String otherAppPackage){
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/*");
share.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
share.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, getSubject(context));
if (text!=null){
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,text);
}
if (path!=null){
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
Uri.fromFile(new File(path)));
}
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, context.getString(R.string.share_via)));
}
I wold like to share with someone directly. Does some of you know how can I do this.
Thanks

You can use Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, but message is not copied to clipboard then:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:+123456789");
Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
it.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
it.putExtra("sms_body", "The SMS text");
it.putExtra("chat",true);
startActivity(it);

Android ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE with video and text

I'm trying to use the ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE intent to share at the same time a video file and a text.
Now, this works in GMAIL (video in the attachments and text in the body of the mail), however I want to do the same in Whatsapp too, but it doesn't appear in the list of apps of the intent.
My code is the next:
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Descarga la app en...");
ArrayList<Uri> contenidos = new ArrayList<Uri>();
File file = new File(Environment
.getExternalStorageDirectory()
.getAbsolutePath()
+ "/Talking/"
+ nombreVideo
+ ".3gp");
Uri screenshotUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
contenidos.add(screenshotUri);
//sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,screenshotUri);
sharingIntent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, contenidos);
sharingIntent.setType("video/3gpp");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share video using"));
Thanks for your help.

Now your code gonna work due the new updates to whatsapp, before this didn't accept this kind of intent (ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE) because it accepts only one file at a time.
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
shareIntent.setType("image/png");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
Uri.parse("file:///mnt/sdcard/UserImages/"+ ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getObjectId() + ".png"));
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Hello test");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent,"Share"));

This probably means Whatsapp does not support this kind of intent (ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE).

Android: Share plain text using intent (to all messaging apps)

I'm trying to share some text using an intent:
Intent i = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("text/plain");
i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "TEXT");
and warping with chooser:
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sms, getResources().getString(R.string.share_using)));
it works! but only for email app.
what I need is a general intent for all messaging app: emails, sms, IM (Whatsapp, Viber, Gmail, SMS...)
tried using android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW
and tried using i.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms"); nothing helped...
("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms" shared using sms only!)

Use the code as:
/*Create an ACTION_SEND Intent*/
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
/*This will be the actual content you wish you share.*/
String shareBody = "Here is the share content body";
/*The type of the content is text, obviously.*/
intent.setType("text/plain");
/*Applying information Subject and Body.*/
intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, getString(R.string.share_subject));
intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareBody);
/*Fire!*/
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, getString(R.string.share_using)));

New way of doing this would be using ShareCompat.IntentBuilder like so:
// Create and fire off our Intent in one fell swoop
ShareCompat.IntentBuilder
// getActivity() or activity field if within Fragment
.from(this)
// The text that will be shared
.setText(textToShare)
// most general text sharing MIME type
.setType("text/plain")
.setStream(uriToContentThatMatchesTheArgumentOfSetType)
/*
* [OPTIONAL] Designate a URI to share. Your type that
* is set above will have to match the type of data
* that your designating with this URI. Not sure
* exactly what happens if you don't do that, but
* let's not find out.
*
* For example, to share an image, you'd do the following:
* File imageFile = ...;
* Uri uriToImage = ...; // Convert the File to URI
* Intent shareImage = ShareCompat.IntentBuilder.from(activity)
* .setType("image/png")
* .setStream(uriToImage)
* .getIntent();
*/
.setEmailTo(arrayOfStringEmailAddresses)
.setEmailTo(singleStringEmailAddress)
/*
* [OPTIONAL] Designate the email recipients as an array
* of Strings or a single String
*/
.setEmailTo(arrayOfStringEmailAddresses)
.setEmailTo(singleStringEmailAddress)
/*
* [OPTIONAL] Designate the email addresses that will be
* BCC'd on an email as an array of Strings or a single String
*/
.addEmailBcc(arrayOfStringEmailAddresses)
.addEmailBcc(singleStringEmailAddress)
/*
* The title of the chooser that the system will show
* to allow the user to select an app
*/
.setChooserTitle(yourChooserTitle)
.startChooser();
If you have any more questions about using ShareCompat, I highly recommend this great article from Ian Lake, an Android Developer Advocate at Google, for a more complete breakdown of the API. As you'll notice, I borrowed some of this example from that article.
If that article doesn't answer all of your questions, there is always the Javadoc itself for ShareCompat.IntentBuilder on the Android Developers website. I added more to this example of the API's usage on the basis of clemantiano's comment.

This a great example about share with Intents in Android:
* Share with Intents in Android
//Share text:
Intent intent2 = new Intent(); intent2.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent2.setType("text/plain");
intent2.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Your text here" );
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent2, "Share via"));
//via Email:
Intent intent2 = new Intent();
intent2.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent2.setType("message/rfc822");
intent2.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{EMAIL1, EMAIL2});
intent2.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Email Subject");
intent2.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Your text here" );
startActivity(intent2);
//Share Files:
//Image:
boolean isPNG = (path.toLowerCase().endsWith(".png")) ? true : false;
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
//Set type of file
if(isPNG)
{
i.setType("image/png");//With png image file or set "image/*" type
}
else
{
i.setType("image/jpeg");
}
Uri imgUri = Uri.fromFile(new File(path));//Absolute Path of image
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imgUri);//Uri of image
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Share via"));
break;
//APK:
File f = new File(path1);
if(f.exists())
{
Intent intent2 = new Intent();
intent2.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent2.setType("application/vnd.android.package-archive");//APk file type
intent2.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(f) );
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent2, "Share via"));
}
break;

Use below method, just pass the subject and body as arguments of the
method
public static void shareText(String subject,String body) {
Intent txtIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
txtIntent .setType("text/plain");
txtIntent .putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
txtIntent .putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(txtIntent ,"Share"));
}

Below is the code that works with both the email or messaging app.
If you share through email then the subject and body both are added.
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
String shareString = Html.fromHtml("Medicine Name:" + medicine_name +
"<p>Store Name:" + “store_name “+ "</p>" +
"<p>Store Address:" + “store_address” + "</p>") .toString();
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Medicine Enquiry");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareString);
if (sharingIntent.resolveActivity(context.getPackageManager()) != null)
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share using"));
else {
Toast.makeText(context, "No app found on your phone which can perform this action", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

By Creating an Intent using ACTION_SEND you will be able to put extra its type is Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, the second argument is the text you want to share.
Then by setting the share type as text/plain, the Intent service will bring you all apps that support sharing text
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is my text to send.");
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
Intent shareIntent = Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, null);
startActivity(shareIntent);

Images or binary data:
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("image/jpg");
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(getFilesDir(), "foo.jpg"));
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri.toString());
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share image using"));
or HTML:
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("text/html");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml("<p>This is the text shared.</p>"));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent,"Share using"));

Kotlin
Inside the click listener needed to add this module for sharing text via applications like whatsApp, email like Gmail, Slack..
shareOptionClicked.setOnClickListener{
val shareText = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND)
shareText.type = "text/plain"
val dataToShare = "Message from my application"
shareText.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject from my application")
shareText.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, dataToShare)
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareText, "Share Via"))
}

This code is for sharing through sms
String smsBody="Sms Body";
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", smsBody);
sendIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
startActivity(sendIntent);

100 % Working Code For Gmail Share
Intent intent = new Intent (Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("message/rfc822");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"anyMail#gmail.com"});
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Any subject if you want");
intent.setPackage("com.google.android.gm");
if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager())!=null)
startActivity(intent);
else
Toast.makeText(this,"Gmail App is not installed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Android - Sending audio-file with MMS

Im using the following code to send audio-files through email, dropbox +++..
This is not giving me the option to send the same file through MMS..
Anyone know how to attach it to a MMS and let the user send if he/she wants?
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("audio/3gpp");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://" + aFile));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Send file"));

you can used this code..
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setClassName("com.android.mms", "com.android.mms.ui.ComposeMessageActivity");
sendIntent.putExtra("address", "9999999999");
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "if you are sending text");
final File file1 = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath(),"Downloadtest.3gp");
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file1);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
sendIntent.setType("video/3gp");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Send file"));
you have to used your appropriate set type .if audio then audio/*,image then image/png
This code work my samsung nexus,ace 5830 but not working htc amaze.If any one found any solution then please give snippet.
