Share links to some photos via ACTION_SEND

Question

In my app I'm try to share photo from Internet via ACTION_SEND

Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    Uri screenshotUri = Uri
            .parse("http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/PNG_transparency_demonstration_2.png/280px-PNG_transparency_demonstration_2.png");

    sharingIntent.setType("image/*");
    sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, screenshotUri);
    sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "MotivateMe");

    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent,
            "share with: "));

But this doesn't works, all can't load picture. It's possible to share photos via internet references or not

No, your photo reference link will be treated as link. You have to save locally before sharing. Temporary download and then try to send using local link.
