Hi I have the following code to share an image:
// Share
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
Uri uri = Uri.parse(getFilesDir() + File.separator + "myGoal.jpg");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image"));
It works to share the image to Dropbox but if I pick the Facebook option, I get Facebook's status update dialog with no image attached and if I try to update my status with 'Test' it doesn't work. No errors. Just not working.
I know it's not the image because it uploads to my Dropbox properly and I can pull up the image and look at it.
Do I have to attach the image to the intent differently for it to work with Facebook?
Any ideas? I'm debugging on a physical device.
So I figured out the problem.
I was saving the picture to internal storage with getFilesDir() which put the picture into my apps sandbox and made inaccessible to the other apps.
I replaced my code with the following:
String file_path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() +
"/MyApp/";
File dir = new File(file_path);
dir.mkdirs();
File file = new File(dir, "myPic.png");
FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
screenshot.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fOut);
fOut.flush();
fOut.close();
// Share
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/png");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(file));
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "My Image");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image"));
Works perfectly fine now.
What i have done to post image on facebook is instead of passing it directly i create a function and write it like this :
private void ShareWall(String message) {
Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
// share msg
parameters.putString("message", message);
// shre image which you have define above
parameters.putString("picture", postImage);
try {
facebook.request("me");
String response = facebook.request("me/feed", parameters, "POST");
Log.d("response: ", response);
if (response == null || response.equals("")) {
response.equals("");
showToast("No Response.");
} else {
showToast("Message has been posted to your walll!.");
}
finish();
} catch (Exception e) {
showToast("Message failed to posdt on wall.");
e.printStackTrace();
finish();
}
}
Hope this help you.
You can still share images (but not text) from your app to Facebook even if you are not using the Facebook SDK.
Just make sure that you use Uri.fromFile instead of Uri.parse and it will work:
DO NOT USE:
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(pathToFile));
USE:
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File(pathToFile)));
Here is a solution without using external file write:
Drawable mDrawable = myImageView1.getDrawable();
Bitmap mBitmap = ((BitmapDrawable)mDrawable).getBitmap();
String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), mBitmap, "Image I want to share", null);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(path);
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Image"));
In this case, my image comes from an ImageView myImageView.

I am making an app and I wanna share images from my app to a specific app
so i used this code to share via choose
try {
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
// path of image
final String imageURIPath = "image-path";
Uri imageURI = Uri.parse(imageURIPath);
sharingIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
sharingIntent.setType("image/jpg");
sharingIntent.setType("image/png");
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageURI);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share via app"));
} catch (Exception e) {
showMessage(e.toString());
}
and all work perfectly but I need to share to a specific app like this
shareIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("app_PackageName");
startActivity(shareIntent);
so 'app_PackageName' chage to like app what i need like this example
shareIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.adobe.lrmobile");
startActivity(shareIntent);
and I build the app without errors but when I wanna share to that app it just opens that app
I am trying to share an GIF programmatically, but it is getting shared as an image (not animated)
Code Snippet:
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setType("image/gif");//image/gif
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(myList.get(item)));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent,"Share gif"));
You are trying to share to which apps?
Some whatsapp builds don't support gif feature.
You can check this question here with some additional information: How to share GIF image in Whatsapp programmatically in Android?
There is this comment:
"This solution doesn't work with whatsapp but does work with all the other apps I specified above (namely Hangouts, Android Messages, Facebook Messenger)"
He is referring to this answer:
private void ShareGif() {
// replace the path and file name with your gif image path and name
String baseDir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
String fileName = "temporary_file.gif";
File sharingGifFile = new File(baseDir, fileName);
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 image"));
}
/*
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);
*/
Hope it helps.
How to detect from which (any) external app(or packagname) data was shared:
Via sharing an image/data (intent) from another app to my app(activity),
private void shareImage() {
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
// If you want to share a png image only, you can do:
// setType("image/png"); OR for jpeg: setType("image/jpeg");
share.setType("image/*");
// Make sure you put example png image named myImage.png in your
// directory
String imagePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
+ "/myImage.png";
File imageFileToShare = new File(imagePath);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(imageFileToShare);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image!"));
}
My activity has an imageview, edittext with user entered email address and a send button. On send button activity I have email message, subject and recipient name ready but I also want to add the image which has been contained by imageview.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
intent.setType("image/jpeg");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, receivers);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "My subject");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "hello wats up");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, image i want to send);
startActivity(intent);
obviously the last putExtra line will give me error stating they want string but I am passing imageview. Guide me please how can I include my imageview in this email body. (Not as an attachment but in message body with message text).
Many thank you in advance.
You've to pass fileUri as the second argument. Like this.
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, fileUri);
Try out as below:
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://your package name/"+R.drawable.ic_launcher);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,recipients);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Send your image"));
EDITED:
Declare the File variable like below
File pic;
In your OnActivityResult() apply changes as below:
Bundle ext = data.getExtras();
bmpEmail = (Bitmap)ext.get("data");
try {
File root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
if (root.canWrite()){
pic = new File(root, "pic.png");
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(pic);
bmpEmail.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("BROKEN", "Could not write file " + e.getMessage());
}
And in your send email code add the line
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(pic));
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..."));
and savebitmap method
private File savebitmap(Bitmap bmp) {
String extStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
OutputStream outStream = null;
File file = new File(extStorageDirectory, temp + ".png");
if (file.exists()) {
file.delete();
file = new File(extStorageDirectory, temp + ".png");
}
try {
outStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, outStream);
outStream.flush();
outStream.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
return file;
}
Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, image i want to send);
As soon as you use EXTRA_STREAM you are adding an attachment.
If you want to have your image in the body of the email you should send a html mail. Not a plain text mail.
I am creating a photo application where the user selects and image from the gallery and it displays in an imageview in the center of the app. How would I go about creating a share intent for the ImageView?
UPDATE
Share intent is working, however, the image can not be shared because I can not save it to the path I have selected. Below is my code. Any help?
public void taptoshare(View v)
{
View content = findViewById(R.id.myimage);
content.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Bitmap bitmap = content.getDrawingCache();
File file = new File("/DCIM/Camera/image.jpg");
try
{
file.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream ostream = new FileOutputStream(file);
bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, ostream);
ostream.close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
Uri phototUri = Uri.parse("/DCIM/Camera/image.jpg");
shareIntent.setData(phototUri);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, phototUri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Via"));
}
}
Try this
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
Uri phototUri = Uri.parse(path);
shareIntent.setData(photootUri);
shareIntent.setType("image/png");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, photootUri);
getContext().startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Use this for sharing"));
