Android: How to share image with text on facebook via intent?

Question

I\'d like to share a photo with caption pre-filled from my app via a share intent, on facebook.

Example code

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.set         


        

Answer 1

Without using Facebook sdk we can't share the image and text simultaneously on facebook. To solve this problem I had create a bitmap of image and text, Share that bitmap on facebook and it's working perfectly.

You can download the source code from here (Share image and text on facebook using intent in android)

Here is code:

MainActivity.java

package com.shareimage;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.Editable;
import android.text.TextWatcher;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
import android.widget.TextView;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements 
View.OnClickListener {
EditText et_text;
ImageView iv_image;
TextView tv_share,tv_text;
RelativeLayout rl_main;


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    init();

}

private void init(){
    et_text = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.et_text);
    iv_image = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.iv_image);
    tv_share = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv_share);
    rl_main = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.rl_main);
    tv_text= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv_text);

    File dir = new File("/sdcard/Testing/");
    try {
        if (dir.mkdir()) {
            System.out.println("Directory created");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Directory is not created");
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    tv_share.setOnClickListener(this);

    et_text.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {

        }

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
            tv_text.setText(et_text.getText().toString());

        }
    });


}




@Override
public void onClick(View v) {

    switch (v.getId()){
        case R.id.tv_share:
            Bitmap bitmap1 = loadBitmapFromView(rl_main, rl_main.getWidth(), rl_main.getHeight());
            saveBitmap(bitmap1);
            String str_screenshot = "/sdcard/Testing/"+"testing" + ".jpg";

            fn_share(str_screenshot);
            break;
    }

}

public void saveBitmap(Bitmap bitmap) {
    File imagePath = new File("/sdcard/Testing/"+"testing" + ".jpg");
    FileOutputStream fos;
    try {
        fos = new FileOutputStream(imagePath);
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos);
        fos.flush();
        fos.close();

        Log.e("ImageSave", "Saveimage");
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        Log.e("GREC", e.getMessage(), e);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.e("GREC", e.getMessage(), e);
    }
}

public static Bitmap loadBitmapFromView(View v, int width, int height) {
    Bitmap b = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas c = new Canvas(b);
    v.draw(c);

    return b;
}

public void fn_share(String path) {

    File file = new File("/mnt/" + path);

    Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getAbsolutePath());
    Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    intent.setType("image/*");
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);

    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share Image"));


}
