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"));
See the below link. it will very helpful for u. I think it satisfied your requirement.

I want to send image from my app via messenger. I was looking on Stack Overflow and I found answer which works for WhatsApp. When I tried to change "com.whatsapp" to "com.facebook.orca", it stops working. Here is my code:
public void shareImageMessenger() {
Bitmap adv = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.koza);
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
adv.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
+ File.separator + "temporary_file_1.jpg");
try {
f.createNewFile();
new FileOutputStream(f).write(bytes.toByteArray());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
Uri.parse( Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+ File.separator+"temporary_file_1.jpg"));
share.setPackage("com.facebook.orca");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image"));
}
After spending a lot of time on this:
Check if permissions are given. Then:
Step 1: Create ImageView of the image you want to in the activity and then convert it itno bitmap
ImageView imageView = findViewById(R.id.image);
Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable) imageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();
//save the image now:
saveImage(bitmap);
//share it
send();
Step 2: Store the image in internal folder:
private static void saveImage(Bitmap finalBitmap) {
String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
File myDir = new File(root + "/saved_images");
Log.i("Directory", "==" + myDir);
myDir.mkdirs();
String fname = "Image-test" + ".jpg";
File file = new File(myDir, fname);
if (file.exists()) file.delete();
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
finalBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Step 3: Send the saved image:
public void send() {
try {
File myFile = new File("/storage/emulated/0/saved_images/Image-test.jpg");
MimeTypeMap mime = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton();
String ext = myFile.getName().substring(myFile.getName().lastIndexOf(".") + 1);
String type = mime.getMimeTypeFromExtension(ext);
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.SEND");
sharingIntent.setType(type);
sharingIntent.putExtra("android.intent.extra.STREAM", Uri.fromFile(myFile));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share using"));
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
Now after sending you can delete the saved image if you don't want it in your storage. Check other link to do that.
Referring your linked post,You could modify the share intent.
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/*");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///assets/epic/adv.png"));
this.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "share_via"));
The intent launches the apps which handles Intent.ACTION_SEND. If you want specific app to be respond, make sure you are aware of the package name and you need set package name share.setPackage("");
I want share image from on click of button
Java code
public void share(View v)
{
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/*");
Uri a=Uri.parse("android.resource://"+getPackageName()+"/"+R.drawable.pic);
Log.i("imageUri",""+imageUri);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,a);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share,"Share Image"));
}
by this code is not working , what changes should i do ?
Try this,
First You need to add permission WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
Note : for Marshmallow and above version You need Runtime Permission of WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and Here is good example of Runtime Permission for EXTERNAL_STORAGE
Then use following code to share your Image
Bitmap b =BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.pic);
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(),
b, "Title", null);
Uri a= Uri.parse(path);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, a);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Select"));
Use this code to share image:
NOTE: you have to add WRITE/READ EXTERNAL STORAGE permission in Menifest file to do this:
Bitmap mBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.pic);
String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(),
mBitmap, "Image Description", null);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(path);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
Log.d("imageUri", "imageUriIs" + uri);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareMSG);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "TITLE");
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "APPNAME"));
I would like to send a Bitmap and some text by clicking on a button in a fragment and I would like to let the user choose the contact/number in his messaging app.
How I could do that ?
EDIT :
After trying something, I got an error in the message app (Messenger on the emulator) :
Messenger failed to load attachment.
Here is the code I used :
String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/Improov/LatestShare.png";
File file = new File(path);
FileOutputStream out = null;
try {
out = new FileOutputStream(file);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
if (out != null) {
out.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getContext(), getContext().getApplicationContext().getPackageName() + ".com.example.mous.improov_flash", file);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra("sms_body", message);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, photoURI);
intent.setType("image/jpeg");
getActivity().startActivity(intent);
If you like to send MMS,
First, you should store your bitmap in sd card, then use the following intent to send the MMS,
Get the Uri for your stored bitmap
Uri uri = [uri for your stored bitmap];
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
inetnt.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
intent.putExtra("sms_body", [Text to be send]);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
intent.setType("image/jpeg");
getActivity.startActivity(intent);

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.
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.
