I'm using intent to create a new event in google calendar application.
However i don't find a way to add a photo as an attachment.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT);
intent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/event");
intent.putExtra(Events.TITLE, "Learn Android");
intent.putExtra(Events.EVENT_LOCATION, "Home sweet home");
intent.putExtra(Events.DESCRIPTION, mImageUri);
intent.putExtra(Events.A, mImageUri); ===> ?
How do i do this?
I think that it unfortunately isn't supported by API but I could be wrong. Here is full event table and there is nothing about attachments.
EDIT :
This feature is still a lab, and Google for now won't expose it via the API. See the source.

I have a button in my application which opens the imdb application in the phone with a imdb id I received from https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/getting-started/introduction
But I couldnt find anyway(using intents) to make my app recognize the imdb app and open it and if imdb app do not exist then I want to open the web site. How can I accomplish this?
I think I may be able to point you in the right direction. Just to be sure, you seem to be using TMDB but wish to open in the IMDB app?
The code below is from the Android documentation.
It will start your intent if the package manager can find an app with the appropriate intent filter installed on your device. If multiple apps are able to open this intent then an app chooser should pop up, unless the user has previously set a default for this kind of URI.
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
// Always use string resources for UI text.
// This says something like "Share this photo with"
String title = getResources().getString(R.string.chooser_title);
// Create intent to show the chooser dialog
Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, title);
// Verify the original intent will resolve to at least one activity
if (sendIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivity(chooser);
}
If you add an else onto that then you can use a view intent like this :
Intent internetIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(movieUrl));
//Watch out here , There is a URI and Uri class!!!!
if (internetIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null){
startActivity(internetIntent);
}
I also found this (rather old) post about calling an explicit imdb uri
Imdb description
startActivity(android.intent.action.VIEW, imdb:///title/<titleID>);
// take note of the Uri scheme "imdb"
I hope this helps. If you post some more detail , code, links , I might be able to work through this with you.
If my answer is way off base then please be kind and set me right. We are all learning every day!
Good Luck.
When I want to share basic plaintext in my app, the option to copy it in my clipboard does not show up in the chooserlist. Is there something wrong with my code? Or has my device a wrong setup?
String code = getXMLCode();
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, code);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, getString(R.string.shareXMLCode)));
public String getXMLCode(){...}
Android does not have a "copy to clipboard" option as part of ACTION_SEND. Certain apps, like Google Drive, might offer such a feature.
cketti recently wrote a blog post about how you can add your own "copy to clipboard" option to your own ACTION_SEND requests. In a nutshell, you use EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS to add another option to the chooser, one that points to your own activity that will offer "copy to clipboard".
My application needs the functionality to add Events into internal phone Caledar. In API 14 it is possible via CalendarContract with smth like the code below. What would be an alternative in API 8? Or is it possible to detect the API in code and depending on the version turn this on/off?
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT);
intent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/event");
intent.putExtra(Events.TITLE, "Learn Android");
intent.putExtra(Events.EVENT_LOCATION, "Home suit home");
intent.putExtra(Events.DESCRIPTION, "Download Examples");
// Setting dates
GregorianCalendar calDate = new GregorianCalendar(2012, 10, 02);
intent.putExtra(CalendarContract.EXTRA_EVENT_BEGIN_TIME,
calDate.getTimeInMillis());
intent.putExtra(CalendarContract.EXTRA_EVENT_END_TIME,
calDate.getTimeInMillis());
// Make it a full day event
intent.putExtra(CalendarContract.EXTRA_EVENT_ALL_DAY, true);
// Make it a recurring Event
intent.putExtra(Events.RRULE, "FREQ=WEEKLY;COUNT=11;WKST=SU;BYDAY=TU,TH");
// Making it private and shown as busy
intent.putExtra(Events.ACCESS_LEVEL, Events.ACCESS_PRIVATE);
intent.putExtra(Events.AVAILABILITY, Events.AVAILABILITY_BUSY);
startActivity(intent);
As you said that is only available on API 14 and there's no alternative on API 8.
The best you could do in the past was to directly access the web-api for the google calendars.
So in general the best approach is to use the SDK_INT to see what's the API version and enable/disable the feature as needed.
I am currently in the process of creating direct intents to a selection of popular platforms in an Android app to share some text. I am currently trying to get a direct intent working with LinkedIn.
I have currently got a direct intent working for Twitter like so:
shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setClassName("com.twitter.android",
"com.twitter.android.PostActivity");
shareIntent.setType("text/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
startActivityForResult(shareIntent, 9);
What I need now is the same for LinkedIn. So far I know the base package for LinkedIn after searching on the internet. That being "com.linkedin.android" (Please correct me if this is wrong). However, the key part I am missing is the name of the class that deals with sharing in the LinkedIn app. I.e. com.linkedin.android.?.
I managed to find the intent by extracting the LinkedIn Manifest file from the APK.
The class name is: com.linkedin.android.home.UpdateStatusActivity
My code for anyone interested is:
if(Utils.doesPackageExist(getSherlockActivity(), "com.linkedin.android"))
{
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setClassName("com.linkedin.android",
"com.linkedin.android.home.UpdateStatusActivity");
shareIntent.setType("text/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareText);
startActivity(shareIntent);
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(getSherlockActivity(), "Please install the LinkedIn app to share your result", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

As of my writing, the new class name is:
com.linkedin.android.infra.deeplink.DeepLinkHelperActivity
So all together:
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setClassName("com.linkedin.android",
"com.linkedin.android.infra.deeplink.DeepLinkHelperActivity");
shareIntent.setType("text/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareText);
startActivity(shareIntent);
It is com.linkedin.android.publishing.sharing.ShareActivity , you can download this app and see what is the current Activity name thats running on your phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.willme.topactivity ... But com.linkedin.android.publishing.sharing.ShareActivity seems its a private class and you can't access as you access Twitter
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.putExtra("address", "12134567899");
intent.putExtra("sms_body", "See attached picture");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/DCIM/Camera/2011-09-09 12.47.29.jpg"));
intent.setType("image/png");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
i try code like this. if intent start mms compose ui was coming how can i overcome and send automatically
First of all. good luck.
Since MMS isn't supported by the android sdk, you have 2 options:
download the android mms aplication and try to understand what's going on there.
follow this link:

only thing I found working at the moment....
This feature was designed as a safety feature in Android, please do not try to bypass it. It's there for a reason.
If you absolutly must, have you tried running it on a rooted device? It allows greater access.
try this its worked with me .
use
Uri.fromFile
instead of
Uri.parse
File f=new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/DCIM/Camera/"+img_name);
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra("", "");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(f));
sendIntent.setType("image/png");
startActivity(sendIntent);
