java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure from system while passing bitmap through intent

I am trying to share image to other apps through Intent. This is my logic:

public void doSocialShare(String title, String text, Bitmap resource) {

        Intent sendIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        sendIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
        sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, resource);
        sendIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
        sendIntent.setType("image/*");

        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1) {
            Log.d("INFORMATION", "The current android version allow us to know what app is chosen by the user.");

            Intent receiverIntent = new Intent(this, ShareBroadcastReceiver.class);
            PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, receiverIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
            sendIntent = Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Share via...", pendingIntent.getIntentSender());
        }
        startActivity(sendIntent);
    }

This is how I am calling doSocialShare() method:

BitmapDrawable drawable = (BitmapDrawable) img_FPO.getDrawable();
                Bitmap bitmap = drawable.getBitmap();
                ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 30, out);
                Bitmap decoded = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray()));

                doSocialShare("Share To", "#Smile", decoded);

But I am getting this error. Its because of the bitmap size. How can I solve this ?:

UPDATE:

This is how I am getting the Uri from Bitmap. But instead of getExternalDir() I want to use getCacheDir(). How can I achieve that?:

public Uri getBitmapFromDrawable(Bitmap bmp) {

        // 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.
            // See https://youtu.be/5xVh-7ywKpE?t=25m25s
            File file = new File(PhotoDetailActivity.this.getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "share_image_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png");
            FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
            bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);
            out.close();

            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 24) {
                // wrap File object into a content provider. NOTE: authority here should match authority in manifest declaration
                bmpUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(PhotoDetailActivity.this, "com.aligntech.myinvisalign.fileprovider", file);  // use this version for API >= 24
            } else {
                bmpUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
            }

            // **Note:** For API < 24, you may use bmpUri = Uri.fromFile(file);

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return bmpUri;
    }

This is my logic

The documentation for EXTRA_STREAM says that the value is a "content: URI holding a stream of data associated with the Intent". It does not say the value is "a Bitmap". You need to supply a Uri in this extra, from which other parties can get a stream (using a ContentResolver) to obtain your data. And then, the data needs to be in the format specified in your MIME type of the Intent, and a Bitmap does not have a MIME type (let alone a wildcard MIME type).

This is how I am getting the Uri from Bitmap. But instead of getExternalDir() I want to use getCacheDir(). How can I achieve that?:

Step #1: Replace:

File file = new File(PhotoDetailActivity.this.getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "share_image_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png");

with:

File file = new File(getCacheDir(), "share_image_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png");

Step #2: Use FileProvider.getUriForFile(PhotoDetailActivity.this, "com.aligntech.myinvisalign.fileprovider", file); for all API levels, as otherwise the other app cannot access your content

Step #3: Make sure that your FileProvider metadata XML resource is set up with a <cache-path> element

Step #4: Use image/jpeg in the MIME type of your Intent (not a wildcard), since you are saving this image as a JPEG
