Im trying to share a mp3 file through whatsapp. It works perfectly with other apps like gmail, but it dosent works on whatsapp. Can anyone help me? Do I need to add some putExtra()?
Here's my code:
public void shareWithFriends(int id)
{
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("audio/mp3");
//share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"subject");
//Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.igs.pokemonsoundboard/" + id);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.igs.pokemonsoundboard/raw/" + R.raw.pikachump3);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,uri);
//share.putExtra("sms_body","Ringtone File :");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share sound"));
}
Thanks ;)
You should copy your audio file to sdcard, and share it as file, not as android resource, like this:
final Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("audio/mp3");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://"+path+filename));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, getString(R.string.share_sound)));
Now it should work through whatsapp.
Try changing the MIME type to "audio/mpeg3" so that the second line reads
share.setType("audio/mpeg3")
WhatsApp also accepts OGG format:
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("audio/ogg");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, getSoundUri());
startActivity(shareIntent);
You have to Include this in you code:
sendIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
