Share button in android app

Question

In my app, i am trying to implement Share button, Which when clicked should give me list of all the social media icons. I was looking at some examples, i like the way media is shared on "WhatApp", u selected the media, click on share, the a window slides up from bottom with the list of social media icons, i saw this kind of implemenatation in othe apps also, and you slide left or right to see more icons. How do i implement something like this in my app. Any examples would be appreciated. below is the screen shot of one of the apps.

which type of file you are sharing? image, video, gif, etc. – Vinesh Chauhan Nov 02 '17 at 04:19
share your code here – Vinesh Chauhan Nov 02 '17 at 04:25
or change line Uri.parse(fileUrl) to Uri.parse("file://"+fileUrl); – Vinesh Chauhan Nov 02 '17 at 04:31
@Override public void onClick(View view) { Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); shareIntent.setType("audio/*"); Uri uri = Uri.parse("android:resource://"+getActivity().getPackageName()+"/raw/"+ selectedMediaFile); shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri); shareIntent.setFlags(FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Via!")); }});' – User5144 Nov 09 '17 at 12:10

Firstly set that image on ImageView and then use this code to share the image :-

share.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) {
                        Uri bmpUri = getLocalBitmapUri(img);
                        if (bmpUri != null) {
                            // Construct a ShareIntent with link to image
                            Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
                            shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                            shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, bmpUri);
                            shareIntent.setType("image/*");
                            // Launch sharing dialog for image
                            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Image"));
                        } else {
                            // ...sharing failed, handle error
                        }
                    }
                });

"img" is my image which i want to share.

You can also set image url in the "img" f.. – Sachin Solanki Nov 01 '17 at 05:48 — Sachin Solanki, Nov 01 '17 at 05:48
