How to Share Image+Text using Share Intent in android

Question

I use this code, but its not working properly.

String Body = "Deals Name: " + Bussinessname + "\n"
    + "Deals: " + deal + "\n" + "Address: " + city
    + " ," + country;

Intent share = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);

Uri screenshotUri = Uri.parse(Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI + "/" + image);
share.setType("image/*");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "The EssexPass");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Body);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, screenshotUri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Deal"));

When I use the type text, then it works properly.
But I want to share a text and an image.
And the share intent is not working in FaceBook.

Yes it will not work with facebook because facebook's policy as it says that `API does not support pre-filling the message for users` — Piyush, Apr 28 '15 at 06:11

Try out the below code:

String fileName = "image-3116.jpg";//Name of an image
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"));

Using intent filter we are not able to share the both text + image on facebook. If you want to share the image and text together then you have to create the bitmap of image + text.

Download the source code here(Share image and text on facebook using intent in android)

MainActivity.java

package com.shareimage;

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 {

            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        tv_share.setOnClickListener(this);

        et_text.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

                tv_text.setText(et_text.getText().toString());

            }
        });


    }




    @Override

You can read sharing binary content on Android Dev,

Sample code

Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uriToImage);
shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, getResources().getText(R.string.send_to)));

you haven't noticed `uriToImage`, it is the path of the image you want to send. – Murtaza Khursheed Hussain Apr 28 '15 at 06:24
What about the drawable image and image url ? How can we share it ? – Jayesh Jun 08 '17 at 17:16
Explain what do you mean by `drawable image` and `image url` – Murtaza Khursheed Hussain Jun 28 '17 at 13:28

You need to put extra in intent:

intent.putExtra("extra_name_1", ”some value”);
intent.putExtra("extra_name_2", 123);
intent.putExtra("extra_name_3”, false);

If you want to share image from url and text with it using intent use following block in your share method

for Java:

AsyncTask.execute(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
           try {
               URL url = new URL("Your url here");
               HttpURLConnection connection = null;
               connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
               connection.connect();
               InputStream inputStream = null;
               inputStream = connection.getInputStream();
               Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
               Bitmap b = myBitmap;
               Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
               share.setType("Image/jpeg");
               share.setType("text/html");
               share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "shre body");
               ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
               b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
               String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(MainActivity.getContentResolver(), b, "Title", null);
               Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(path);
               share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
               MainActivity.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Select"));
           }
           catch (Exception e){
               e.printStackTrace();
           }
        }
    });

and in kotlin :

  AsyncTask.execute {
                try {
                    val url = URL("Your url here")
                    var connection: HttpURLConnection? = null
                    connection = url.openConnection() as HttpURLConnection?
                    connection!!.connect()
                    var inputStream: InputStream? = null
                    inputStream = connection.inputStream
                    val myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream)
                    val share = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND)
                    share.type = "Image/jpeg"
                    share.type = "text/html"
                    share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Text message here")
                    val bytes = ByteArrayOutputStream()
                    myBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes)
                    val path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(
                        activity?.getContentResolver(),
                        myBitmap,
                        "Title",
                        null
                    )
                    val imageUri = Uri.parse(path)
                    share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri)
                    activity?.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Select"))
                } catch (e: Exception) {
                }

            }
