"Setting uri.parse resource as ImageView" is not works and i failed to found such a way to "Set uri.parse resource as ImageView" the simple and working way is to save image to sd card then use code like this:

intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("file://mnt/sdcard/temp_image0.png"),"image/*");

see this post to find out saving image to sd card: how to save ViewPager Current image to sd card on button click

ImageView.setImageURI only takes Android content URI as stated here:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-developers/jupslaeAEuo

In other words, it takes things like "file://" or "content://" URI's, not resource ID's like what you are trying to do.

If you want to do that, the only way that I know how, and what I did, was to write the resource to a file and then pass the file path to the ImageView URI. There are many examples of how to write files to the system (including thinking about using the SDCARD, etc.)

I'm pretty sure you could write a ContentProvider that will resolve the "content://" or "file://" schemes using the ContentProvider openFile / openInputStream methods, but I abandoned that before I needed it. I might finish it - if anyone is curious how it works...
