I am integrating share with the following code for the app.
private void socialShare()
{
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.example.myproject/drawable/appicon");
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "sharing myapp");
shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share from"));
}
As in the above code, I am trying to put png image which is in drawable folder. But the image is unable to be sent. Is that because in setType, it’s image/jpeg? I can’t use jpeg, because it loses transparency. Can some one please suggest me how to share with image?
Here is the code that I use to copy the image from drawable to sdcard:
String commonPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/MyAppFolder";
File direct = new File(commonPath);
if(!direct.exists())
{
if(direct.mkdir())
{
Log.d("tag","directory created");
//directory is created;
}
}
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource( getResources(), R.drawable.sharingimage);
OutputStream outStream = null;
File savingFile = new File(commonPath, "shareImage.png");
if(!savingFile.exists())
{
Log.d("tag","file is created");
try {
savingFile.createNewFile();
outStream = new FileOutputStream(savingFile);
bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, outStream);
outStream.flush();
outStream.close();
Log.d("tag","Saved");
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I found solution where I should not copy image on sd card. Here it is:
try {
Uri imageUri = null;
try {
imageUri = Uri.parse(MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(this.getContentResolver(),
BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.fragment_menu_logo), null, null));
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
}
String text = getString(R.string.share_text);
// Launch the Google+ share dialog with attribution to your app.
Intent shareIntent = new PlusShare.Builder(mActivity)
.setType("image/*")
.setText(text)
.addStream(imageUri)
.getIntent();
startActivity(shareIntent);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(mActivity, mActivity.getString(R.string.share_google_plus_not_installed), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
Answer：
Bitmap bitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.xxxx);
String path = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES)+"/LatestShare.jpg";
OutputStream out = null;
File file=new File(path);
try {
out = new FileOutputStream(file);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
path=file.getPath();
Uri bmpUri = Uri.parse("file://"+path);
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, bmpUri);
shareIntent.setType("image/jpg");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent,"Share with"));
This works for me perfectly, and this will need write permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
Add this line to android manifest for the write permission.
Answer：
You can share using the following method…
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/png");
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://your package name/"+R.drawable.ic_launcher);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hello, This is test Sharing");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Send your image"));
Tried and tested…working for me
Answer：
First add permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
use Bitmap from res
Bitmap b =BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.userimage);
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 imageUri = Uri.parse(path);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Select"));
Tested via bluetooth.
Works like a Charm.
Answer：
You can not directly share a uri from you apps internal storage (of course the resourses of your app will be always in the internal storage)
There are two ways of achieving this..
-
Copy your image to external storage then share it from there. See this
-
Write a Content Provider to share image. For that refer Create and Share a File from Internal Storage
