How can i send image with text with share

Currently i am using the below code for sharing text:

Intent i = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    i.setType("text/plain");

    i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is tesing");

    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Share via"));

From this i can able to share text on any social media platform.

But i want to also share the image with this and my image is in binary form.

InputStream input = new java.net.URL(
                                product.getString("url")).openStream();

 // Decode Bitmap
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);

So image sharing i have written below code:

i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, bitmap);

But it is not working. It shares the text like :- android.graphics.Bitmap@43394c40

So how can i share image also with this?

  1. First of all, you have to download that image and save in ExternalStorage. Check this link
  2. Social apps don't support sharing images and text together.

  3. Use this sample code below: 

     Intent i = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
 i.setType("image/*");
 i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is tesing");
 i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile("file_path"));
 startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Share via"));

Supporting APP:

  1. Google+

  2. Hangout

  3. Gmail
  4. Email
  5. Whatsapp

Not Supporting APP:

  1. Facebook
  2. Skype
  3. Hike

intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse( "file://"+filelocation));

Programming Android devices, avoid using bitmaps for Earth. When you load bitmap to your memory, you use your RAM which is critical resource on small devices. Use Uris as often as possible.

EDIT:

You can send an image and text together e.g. via e-mail. Your idea to put everything into an Intent is correct. The only mistake is working on bitmap instead of working on a bitstream. Before sending a picture, you have to save it first in device's storage. If you don't save it first, you will achieve buffer overflow sooner than you expect.

YOu have to save the bitmap from url into the disk first then use the file to be passed on intent.

    File file = writebitmaptofilefirst("the_new_image","http://www.theimagesource.com/blahblahblah.jpg");
    Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);

    shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);

Add this method

public static File writebitmaptofilefirst(String filename, String source) {
    String extStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
    File mFolder = new File(extStorageDirectory + "/temp_images");
    if (!mFolder.exists()) {
        mFolder.mkdir();
    }
    OutputStream outStream = null;


    File file = new File(mFolder.getAbsolutePath(), filename + ".png");
    if (file.exists()) {
        file.delete();
        file = new File(extStorageDirectory, filename + ".png");
        Log.e("file exist", "" + file + ",Bitmap= " + filename);
    }
    try {
        URL url = new URL(source);
        Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(url.openConnection().getInputStream());

        outStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, outStream);
        outStream.flush();
        outStream.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    Log.e("file", "" + file);
    return file;

}
