android share image from url
Solution 1:
An adapted version of @eclass's answer which doesn't require use of an ImageView:
Use Picasso to load the url into a Bitmap
public void shareItem(String url) {
Picasso.with(getApplicationContext()).load(url).into(new Target() {
@Override public void onBitmapLoaded(Bitmap bitmap, Picasso.LoadedFrom from) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("image/*");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, getLocalBitmapUri(bitmap));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Share Image"));
}
@Override public void onBitmapFailed(Drawable errorDrawable) { }
@Override public void onPrepareLoad(Drawable placeHolderDrawable) { }
});
}
Convert Bitmap into Uri
public Uri getLocalBitmapUri(Bitmap bmp) {
Uri bmpUri = null;
try {
File file = new File(getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "share_image_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png");
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
out.close();
bmpUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return bmpUri;
}
Solution 2:
I use these codes from this tutorial
final ImageView imgview= (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.feedImage1);
Uri bmpUri = getLocalBitmapUri(imgview);
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
}
then add this to your activity
public Uri getLocalBitmapUri(ImageView imageView) {
// Extract Bitmap from ImageView drawable
Drawable drawable = imageView.getDrawable();
Bitmap bmp = null;
if (drawable instanceof BitmapDrawable){
bmp = ((BitmapDrawable) imageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();
} else {
return null;
}
// Store image to default external storage directory
Uri bmpUri = null;
try {
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS), "share_image_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png");
file.getParentFile().mkdirs();
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
out.close();
bmpUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return bmpUri;
}
then add your application manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

You need to use a local file. Like this:
Uri imageUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://your.package/drawable/fileName");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("image/png");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent , "Share"));
If your image is on remote server download it to the device first.
