Thanks for raising this question!

Yes it seems that Google+ only accepts media from content providers (content:// uris), not file:// uris. So we need to put the image into MediaStore first. An easier way to do this is:

MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(context.getContentResolver(), tmpFile.getAbsolutePath(), tmpFile.getName(), null);
