How to Share Image+Text using Share Intent in android

Try out the below code:

String externalStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
String myDir = externalStorageDirectory + "/saved_images/"; // the file will be in saved_images
Uri uri = Uri.parse("file:///" + myDir + fileName);
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/html");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Test Mail");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Launcher");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Deal"));

Share text and image at the same time in Android

I finally managed to do it in a simpler way! I created a base64 from the image and added it as a string in the strings.xml file (make sure to remove data:image/png;base64, from the start of the string).

The code I used is the following:

byte[] decodedString = Base64.decode(getString(R.string.share_image), Base64.DEFAULT); //The string is named share_image.
Bitmap decodedByte = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(decodedString, 0, decodedString.length);
Uri imageToShare = Uri.parse(MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(MainActivity.this.getContentResolver(), decodedByte, "Share image", null)); //MainActivity.this is the context in my app.
String textToShare = "Sample text"; //Text to be shared

Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/*");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, textToShare);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageToShare);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share with"));

I hope this answer will solve many peoples issues!

Thanks a lot for @notyou & @CommonsWare

How can i send image with text with share

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;

}

How do I share image and text together in WhatsApp

After doing a lot of trial and error, I found that the way we pass text via Intent.EXTRA_TEXT matters for WhatsApp!!

I just changed

intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, etShareMessage.text)

to

intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, etShareMessage.text.toString())

and it worked.
