Opening message app with image attached to it

Question

I am trying to build a messaging app activity. I want to open the attached image in the messaging app but my messaging app is stopping. I have set all the required permissions. The following is my code:

    Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "some text");
    Uri path = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.works.vipul.imageinmms/"R.drawable.images);
    sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, path);
    sendIntent.setType("image/png");
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent,"Send"));

looks like uri is wrong http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6602417/get-the-uri-of-an-image-stored-in-drawable — Xjasz, Jul 21 '15 at 16:52
The Uri is right as its showing image it is suppose to represent in the side bar in android studio — vipul bansal, Jul 21 '15 at 16:55
"android.resource://com.works.vipul.imageinmms/drawable/images" <-------Use that and make sure its a png — Xjasz, Jul 21 '15 at 16:57
Is that your actual code? I would expect it to be confused by the `"android.resource://com.works.vipul.imageinmms/"R.drawable.images` with the `R.drawable.images` — dub stylee, Jul 21 '15 at 17:02
I used the above code. Its a png and it still gave me the same problem. — vipul bansal, Jul 21 '15 at 17:03

1

com.works.vipul.imageinmms/" + R.drawable.images);

Add the "+". If that doesn't work, post a stack trace of the crash.
