I want from my application to send to facebook and other applications an Image and some text so the user can share them. Currently I put the text and the image URI but when I choose facebook only the image is sent. In whatsApp also only the image is sent. In Google+ application both image and text are passed. Can someone show me the right direction?
Code example ( I don't have the original code here with me now, maybe I'll post it later)
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uriToImage);
shareIntent.setType("image/png");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT , myText);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Choose an app" ));
If I change ACTION_SEND to ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE then it does not work at all. If I change type to "text/plain" or html then text is sent to whatsapp, google+ and Facebook messenger, but NOT in normal Facebook app ( it opens an empty share dialog).
You should use below lines
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setType("image/*");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "My image");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File(filename_toshare)));// this is for image . here filename_toshare is your file path.
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "My Image ");// this is for text
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Email:"));
hope this helps you.

I'm trying to make refer and earn activity in my appSo I want to permanently display a few apps like whatsapp, etc for the user to click on them and share directly.I'm using Intent to share the referral code but it pops up the apps list when the user clicks share.The code I'm using is,
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is a message");
intent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share via"));
How can I make the app chooser permanent for a few apps?
The app chooser is not intended to be displayed permanently. Therefore you will have to create simple buttons or icons and create an intent that refers to the desired app directly, by setting the package of the intent.
E.g. to share sth with WhatsApp use sth like this:
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
// here comes the magic
sendIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is my text to send.");
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(sendIntent);
Depending on the type of content you want to share and the apps you want to share with, it makes sense to reuse the code to create the intent and just set the respective package and eventually some additional parameters.
You will need package name of app and a Intent.
change ACTION_VIEW to ACTION_SENDTO
set the Uri as you did set the
package to whatsapp
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,
Uri.parse("content://com.android.contacts/data/" + c.getString(0)));
i.setType("text/plain");
i.setPackage("com.whatsapp"); // so that only Whatsapp reacts and not the chooser
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "I'm the body.");
startActivity(i);

I am facing same problem for share tamil font content in Whatsapp. I found the solution, this setType("*/*") share full content.
I am very new to this topic how to share my app along with image and text,play store link,my images and text getting from server and image should be not visible after sharing content ,please any one help me how to share this content to other apps like whats app,twitter and more ....
here below my code
File filePath = getFileStreamPath("news_image");
shareIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(filePath));
shareIntent.setType("image/png");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
"Here is my IMAGE");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share IMAGE Using..."))
You should follow the advice from android documentation.
Snippet from the page:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.example.android"));
startActivity(intent);
I'd like to share different information depending on the application selected by the user. For example, I'd like to send shorter text to Twitter than I do Gmail (otherwise, I go over in characters). Is there anyway to achieve this? Bonus question, is it possible to make hyperlinks via sharing via Gmail or SMS. For example, "Download here" where 'here' is a link instead of "Download by clicking the link below: http://..."
Current code:
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, getTextToShare(data));
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, data.getTitle());
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share this story"));
To find the selected share target this could be interesting for you: Branching the Android Share Intent extras depending on which method they choose to share
By using below code may helps you:
String shareText="Download <a href='[download link]'>here</a>";
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.toHtml(shareText));
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, data.getTitle());
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share this story"));

The question is (might be a repeated one), but I could not find a proper answer to it, so asking here again.
In my application, I need to share both an image and a text file using a single intent.
I read a few answers, like:
ACTION_SEND sending both an Image and Text in the same Intent,
Send Image and Text both using ACTION_SEND or ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE
and also Problems sharing combined text and image with SHARE INTENT
and tried to implement the given solutions in my application, but none of them worked for me.
The code I've implemented so far is as below :
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "I found movie "+movieTitle+" on Movies Tracker!");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "my text");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(file));
share.setType("image/*");
share.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share via"));
So now my question is: is there any way to share both an image and a text file with single intent?
If it's possible, then please help regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance.
try this one
private void initShareIntent(String type,String _text){
File filePath = getFileStreamPath("<span class="skimlinks-unlinked">shareimage.jpg</span>"); //optional //internal storage
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, _text);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,Uri.fromFile(new File(filePath))); //optional//use this when you want to send an image
shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "send"));
}
I want to give the user the possibility to share a Image and a Text with Twitter and Facebook.
Actually my code can launch Android's share intent and if the user selects Facebook, all works fine, the Image is attached and the text is shown on the body of the new status.
But something is wrong with Twitter, if i only put a Image all works fine, the image is detected by twitter and automatically uploaded to twipic, then twitter posts the link of the image on the tweet. But if i put a image and a text, then, twitter doesn't detect the image and it only puts the text on the tweet, the image is ignored. What is wrong?
this is my code:
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
Uri screenshotUri = Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/image.jpg");
sharingIntent.setType("image/*");
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Body text of the new status");
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, screenshotUri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share image using"));
You can still try with ACTION_SEND, without using the ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE.
ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE resulted in a force close, when I tried to create new intents for sharing to Gmail, G+, etc.
This worked perfect for me:
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/image.jpg");
shareIntent.setType("*/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Body text of the new status");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
return shareIntent;
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.
