Answer 2

Use this code for sharing on whatsapp or on another package with image and video. Here the URI is the path of image. If image in Memory then it took fast loading and if you are using url then sometimes images don't load and links gone direct.

shareBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View view) {
                    uri1=Uri.parse(Paths+File.separator+Img_name);
                    Intent intent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                    intent.setType("image/*");
                    //intent.putExtra(intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"Insert Something new");
                    String data = "Hello";
                    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
                    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,data);
                    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,uri1);
                    intent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");

                    startActivity(intent);

                    // end Share code
                }

If this code is not understandable then see the full code in my other answer.

Answer 3

As of now, a Whatsapp Intent supports image and text:

Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,title + "\n\nLink : " + link );
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(sharePath));
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share image via:"));

The image will be as it is and EXTRA_TEXT will be shown as the caption.

Answer 4

1. Copy text from anywhere.let it be Google, Facebook or whatsapo itself

2. attempt to upload the image in whatsapp anywhere.at contact or group.before you hit the send image arrow... you will see caption option to that image... touch and hold, a paste option will appear.hit paste... your text will show up... then you can send the photo.and it will appear with the text you wanted... there you go... you have the text and image in it... the only problem will be the text size, which is limited to certain number of words

Answer 5

Please try the below code and hopefully it will work.

    Uri imgUri = Uri.parse(pictureFile.getAbsolutePath());
    Intent whatsappIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    whatsappIntent.setType("text/plain");
    whatsappIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
    whatsappIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "The text you wanted to share");
    whatsappIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imgUri);
    whatsappIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
    whatsappIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);

    try {
        activity.startActivity(whatsappIntent);
    } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
        ToastHelper.MakeShortText("Whatsapp have not been installed.");
    }

Answer 6

This works:

    <activity android:name="com.selcuksoydan.sorucevap.Main">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
            <data android:mimeType="image/*" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

        soru_image = (ImageView) soruView.findViewById(R.id.soru_image);
       soru_image.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                try {
                    v.buildDrawingCache();
                    Bitmap bitmap =   v.getDrawingCache();
                    String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
                    File myDir = new File(root + "/SoruCevap");
                    Random generator = new Random();
                    int n = 10000;
                    n = generator.nextInt(n);
                    String fname = "Image-" + n + ".jpg";
                    File file = new File(myDir, fname);
                    if (file.exists()) file.delete();
                    try {
                        FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
                        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);
                        out.flush();
                        out.close();
                    } catch (Exception ex) {
                        //ignore
                    }
                    Intent waIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                    waIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
                    waIntent.setType("image/*");
                    waIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
                    waIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(file));
                    getContext().startActivity(Intent.createChooser(waIntent, "Share with"));
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    Log.e("Error on sharing", e + " ");
                    Toast.makeText(getContext(), "App not Installed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
