I'm trying to share a bitmap from my cache drive to other social media apps. My goal is to allow the user to share their memes on social media without creating a copy of it in the Gallery app, as I have already implemented a saving feature for that. But when I call the shareMeme() method, social media apps are launched without the bitmap.
This is my shareMeme() method:
This is my res/xml/filepaths.xml file:
And this is the manifest:
This is my shareMeme() method:
Code:
public void shareMeme(Bitmap bitmap) {
String path = Objects.requireNonNull(getContext()).getCacheDir().getAbsolutePath();
File file = new File(path + "/Memes/" + timeStamp + counter + ".jpg");
Uri uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getContext(), "com.example.omar.memegenerator.fileprovider", file);
try {
OutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(file);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream);
stream.flush();
stream.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/*");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is my Meme");
share.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
getContext().startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Your Meme!"));
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "The Cache drive is: " + path, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
This is my res/xml/filepaths.xml file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<cache-path name="shared_images" path="Memes/"/>
</paths>
And this is the manifest:
Code:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="com.example.omar.memegenerator">
...
<application
...
<provider
android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="com.example.omar.memegenerator.fileprovider"
android:grantUriPermissions="true"
android:exported="false">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/filepaths" />
</provider>
...
</application>
</manifest>
