For sharing text and image on WhatsApp, more controlled version of code is below, you can add more methods for sharing with Twitter, Facebook ...
public class IntentShareHelper {
public static void shareOnWhatsapp(AppCompatActivity appCompatActivity, String textBody, Uri fileUri) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,!TextUtils.isEmpty(textBody) ? textBody : "");
if (fileUri != null) {
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, fileUri);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
intent.setType("image/*");
}
try {
appCompatActivity.startActivity(intent);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
showWarningDialog(appCompatActivity, appCompatActivity.getString(R.string.error_activity_not_found));
}
}
public static void shareOnTwitter(AppCompatActivity appCompatActivity, String textBody, Uri fileUri){...}
private static void showWarningDialog(Context context, String message) {
new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
.setMessage(message)
.setNegativeButton(context.getString(R.string.close), new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
})
.setCancelable(true)
.create().show();
}
}
For getting Uri from File, use below class:
public class UtilityFile {
public static @Nullable Uri getUriFromFile(Context context, @Nullable File file) {
if (file == null)
return null;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
try {
return FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, "com.my.package.fileprovider", file);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
} else {
return Uri.fromFile(file);
}
}
// Returns the URI path to the Bitmap displayed in specified ImageView
public static Uri getLocalBitmapUri(Context context, ImageView imageView) {
Drawable drawable = imageView.getDrawable();
Bitmap bmp = null;
if (drawable instanceof BitmapDrawable) {
bmp = ((BitmapDrawable) imageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();
} else {
return null;
}
// Store image to default external storage directory
Uri bmpUri = null;
try {
// Use methods on Context to access package-specific directories on external storage.
// This way, you don't need to request external read/write permission.
File file = new File(context.getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "share_image_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png");
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
out.close();
bmpUri = getUriFromFile(context, file);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return bmpUri;
}
}
