'Sharing failed, please try again.' error while trying to share image via whatsapp

I'm using a Samsung android 9 device to debug my app, however I noticed that While I try to share content with an image from my app to whatsapp, It does not work, rather a toast message 'Sharing failed, please try again.' is shown.
When I try to share only text, it all works fine. However the moment I add an image uri as an intent extra, it toast an error. What could be the possible cause and solution?
Here is the code for sharing content to whatsapp
if(resultImage.exists()){
Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(resultImage.getAbsolutePath());
Intent whatsappIntent = new Intent();
whatsappIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
whatsappIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
whatsappIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Extra text");
whatsappIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
Uri.parse(resultImage.getAbsolutePath()));
whatsappIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
whatsappIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(whatsappIntent, "Share Image to"));
}
PS: I am yet to try this code in other devices

Android - Chooser dialog for sharing -- different intents depending on application selected?

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"));

Android Share intent - issue with Facebook

I need to share text and one image from my application via a share intent. I read this article. I thought it would be easy to create share intent. But it is not so easy, because there is a problem with sharing via Facebook.
I need to share some text and one image, which is stored in device. My first attempt looked like this:
The first try
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File("/sdcard/img.jpg")));
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "My custom text...");
shareIntent.setType("image/jpg");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, getString(R.string.label_share)));
I tried this code and in applications like Gmail, Google+, Google Keep, etc, everything works fine. But Facebook did not work fine.
There is no my text ("My custom text...") in this screenshot. So I have tried something else.
The second try
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File("/sdcard/img.jpg")));
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "My custom text...");
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, getString(R.string.label_share)));
And the result of this is here:
There is no text and also no image in this screenshot.
I also tried to change type to image/* and */*, but it did not help. I do not know what is wrong. I just need to share some text and image via Facebook. The first try works well for other applications, but for Facebook not.
Can someone help me, please?

Your first attempt is OK, Facebook does not allow sharing text this way, they say "Pre-filling these fields erodes the authenticity of the user voice."

Instagram from Android open on certain user and add caption to uploaded image

Instagram for Android is very limited, from what I have seen so far. My scenario is simple: allow the user to edit a picture and when he clicks on Send:
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
Then with queryIntentActivities() I search to see if Instagram is installed. If it is I send the path of my image to be uploaded:
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///" + path to myfile.png"));
share.setClassName(resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName, resolveInfo.activityInfo.name);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Sample subject");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Sample text");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "Sample title");
The result: the image is uploaded using Instagram app (of course if I am logged in), but I can't add a Caption to it. None of the putExtra has any effect. So, is there any way to add a caption as intent parameter ?
And the other question, is it possible to open Instagram app with a certain user name filled in ?

It looks as if Instagram's Android App ignores EXTRA_TEXT, EXTRA_SUBJECT and EXTRA_TITLE, so it seems that adding a caption while uploading an image is not possible. By the way, you can try different approaches to check if it ignores those extras in every case:
OPTION #1: Changing the MIME type.
You are setting the MIME type to "image/jpeg". Try using "image/" or "/*" to check if their app doesn't ignore those extras.
share.setType("image/*");
or
share.setType("*/*");
OPTION #2:
As you are sending multiple MIME types (image and text), maybe their app is expecting ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE instead of ACTION_SEND.
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
OPTION #3: Use MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(ContentResolver cr, String imagePath, String name, String description) function:
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), "file:///" + path to myfile.png", "Sample title", "Sample description")));
share.setType("image/jpeg");
share.setClassName(resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName, resolveInfo.activityInfo.name);
OPTION #4: Post your issue in their developer forum, although there are similar questions that remain unsolved:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/instagram-api-developers/caption/instagram-api-developers/7XUKm9HSAdg/rJbdSnOmXacJ
And don't forget to come back and tell us their answer!

It looks like Instagram has updated their app to accept EXTRA_TEXT to add a caption. If the user has an updated version of Instagram (July 1, 2014 version or later) you can post an image and add a caption with the following code:
Intent instagram = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
instagram.setType("image/*");
instagram.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, [URI of photo]);
instagram.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, [Text of caption]);
instagram.setPackage(instagramPackageName);
startActivity(instagram);
Users with older versions will still get the image, but not have the caption be pre populated.
This code is assuming you have already been through the auth flow.

Android: Share Text & Image (URL) Via Intent

I am trying to share text with an image via an ACTION_SEND intent. The catch is that the image is represented by a URL, not a local URI. The code I currently have is:
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("*/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text); // <- String
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, url); // <- URL object
Now I've tried a few variations on this. I've tried with setType("image/*"), I've tried parsing a Uri from the URL, I've tried passing the URL string itself, etc. Nothing so far seems to work. However, when sending to twitter I do see the text, just not the image.
Edit:
Apparently the original description was not helpful enough, so....when I launch the above intent it successfully opens a chosen application like Twitter, or Facebook, or Gmail, or Text Messaging, but an image appars in NONE of these apps. The text appears in Twitter - I can't remember if the text appears elsewhere, but my focus at this moment is on the image part anyway.

You won't be able to share on Facebook in that way because of Facebook's policy as it says in a known bug:
API does not support pre-filling the message for users

Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
sharingIntent.setType("image/*");
sharingIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
sharingIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,videoPos);
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,getImageUri(getApplicationContext(), bitmap));
