Add option to share image from Adapter

Question

I was working on a Gallery type app. I wanted to add a share option whenever the specific image is tapped but have failed to do so.

I tried to create Intents, It did not work. What should I do?

Here is my Adapter Class code: https://gist.github.com/mukundmadhav/e63fcf7e34414b9b88458400a6d55651

(Also for testing I have saved 8 images in drawable folder)

When I use Intents it shows this error message: Error:(51, 17) error: cannot find symbol method startActivity(Intent)

I have imported the android.content.Intent but the error still persists.

I saw your code. it does not have any section for `ShareActionProvider`. read about sharing in android here https://github.com/codepath/android_guides/wiki/Sharing-Content-with-Intents — vipin agrahari, Sep 04 '17 at 08:16
There is no error. I wanted to know how can I do that. I have no idea. — Peter Stewart, Sep 04 '17 at 08:21

try this in adapter :

 viewHolder.img.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) {

        //here write code to share image //get clicked image bitmap and then share
    Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable)viewHolder.img.getDrawable()).getBitmap();
    Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
    shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    shareIntent.setType("image/png");
     ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        inImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
        String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(context.getContentResolver(), bitmap , "Title", null);
   // Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://your package 
    //name/"+R.drawable.ic_launcher);
    Uri uri = Uri.parse(path);
    shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
    shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hello, This is test Sharing");
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Send your image"));

                    }
                });

I know how to make the onclicklistener. I want to know what do I write here: //here write code to share image //get clicked image bitmap and then share – Peter Stewart Sep 04 '17 at 08:23
When I use Intents it shows this error message: Error:(51, 17) error: cannot find symbol method startActivity(Intent) – Peter Stewart Sep 04 '17 at 08:29
Is there a package for inImage? and for some reason startActivity still gives same error. – Peter Stewart Sep 04 '17 at 08:35
inContext wil be your context – Bapusaheb Shinde Sep 04 '17 at 08:37
What about inImage? What about startActivity? – Peter Stewart Sep 04 '17 at 08:46
inImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes); – Peter Stewart Sep 04 '17 at 08:48
just try above code .. it will open popup automatically...(here you are using implicit intent ) – Bapusaheb Shinde Sep 04 '17 at 08:48
Error:(62, 17) error: cannot find symbol method startActivity(Intent) This again :( – Peter Stewart Sep 04 '17 at 08:50
try: context.startActivity – Bapusaheb Shinde Sep 04 '17 at 08:51
