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("");
