I'm trying to share images with Facebook, twitter, etc using SHARE INTENT
from Android.
I found code to send a image to the share intent, but this code needs the URI of the bitmap: fullSizeImageUri
This is the full code:
private void startShareMediaActivity(Bitmap image) {
boolean isVideo=false;
String mimeType="bmp";
Uri fullSizeImageUri=null;
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType(mimeType);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, fullSizeImageUri);
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, (isVideo ? "video" : "image")));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) { }
}
Please, can someone help me to transforma a Bitmap into a Uri?
thanks
String FILENAME = "image.png";
String PATH = "/mnt/sdcard/"+ FILENAME;
File f = new File(PATH);
Uri yourUri = Uri.fromFile(f);
Here is the Colin's Blog who suggest the simple method to convert bitmap to Uri Click here
public Uri getImageUri(Context inContext, Bitmap inImage) {
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
inImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
String path = Images.Media.insertImage(inContext.getContentResolver(), inImage, "Title", null);
return Uri.parse(path);
}
The above solution uses media store and stores the image in the users main image folder making it viewable through the gallery/photo viewer. This solution will store it as a temporary file in your apps data. In this example inImage is a Bitmap and title is a string for the name of the image file.
File tempDir= Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
tempDir=new File(tempDir.getAbsolutePath()+"/.temp/");
tempDir.mkdir();
File tempFile = File.createTempFile(title, ".jpg", tempDir);
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
inImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
byte[] bitmapData = bytes.toByteArray();
//write the bytes in file
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(tempFile);
fos.write(bitmapData);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
return Uri.fromFile(tempFile);
Well you can't transforma a bitmap file into a uri. Read more about URI here
URI is an Uniform Resource Identifier. But you can place the bitmap in an absolute or relative URI like this
Absolute: http://android.com/yourImage.bmp
Relative: yourImage.bmp
String picName = "pic.jpg";
String PATH = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()+ picName;
File f = new File(PATH);
Uri yourUri = Uri.fromFile(f);
pass bitmap and compressFormat like (PNG, JPG, etc...) and image quality in percentage
public Uri getImageUri(Bitmap src, Bitmap.CompressFormat format, int quality) {
ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
src.compress(format, quality, os);
String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), src, "title", null);
return Uri.parse(path);
}
