Share image and text through Whatsapp or Facebook

I have in my app a share button and i want to share an image and a text at the same time. In GMail it works fine but in WhatsApp, only the image is sent and in Facebook the app crashes.

The code i use to share is this:

Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);  
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Message");         

Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/drawable/ford_focus_2014");
     try {
        InputStream stream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);

If I use "shareIntent.setType("*/ *")" Facebook and WhatsApp crashes.

Is there some way to do this? Maybe sent two messages by separate at the same time (WhatsApp).

Thanks in advance.

Currently Whatsapp supports Image and Text sharing at the same time. (Nov 2014).

Here is an example of how to do this:

    /**
     * Show share dialog BOTH image and text
     */
    Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(pictureFile.getAbsolutePath());
    Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
    shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    //Target whatsapp:
    shareIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
    //Add text and then Image URI
    shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, picture_text);
    shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
    shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
    shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);

    try {
        startActivity(shareIntent);
    } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
        ToastHelper.MakeShortText("Whatsapp have not been installed.");
    }

Please try the below code and hopefully it will work.

    Uri imgUri = Uri.parse(pictureFile.getAbsolutePath());
    Intent whatsappIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    whatsappIntent.setType("text/plain");
    whatsappIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
    whatsappIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "The text you wanted to share");
    whatsappIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imgUri);
    whatsappIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
    whatsappIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);

    try {
        activity.startActivity(whatsappIntent);
    } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
        ToastHelper.MakeShortText("Whatsapp have not been installed.");
    }

For sharing text and image on WhatsApp, more controlled version of code is below, you can add more methods for sharing with Twitter, Facebook ...

public class IntentShareHelper {

    public static void shareOnWhatsapp(AppCompatActivity appCompatActivity, String textBody, Uri fileUri) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        intent.setType("text/plain");
        intent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
        intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,!TextUtils.isEmpty(textBody) ? textBody : "");

        if (fileUri != null) {
            intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, fileUri);
            intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
            intent.setType("image/*");
        }

        try {
            appCompatActivity.startActivity(intent);
        } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
            showWarningDialog(appCompatActivity, appCompatActivity.getString(R.string.error_activity_not_found));
        }
    }

    public static void shareOnTwitter(AppCompatActivity appCompatActivity, String textBody, Uri fileUri){...}

    private static void showWarningDialog(Context context, String message) {
        new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
                .setMessage(message)
                .setNegativeButton(context.getString(R.string.close), new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                        dialog.dismiss();
                    }
                })
                .setCancelable(true)
                .create().show();
    }
}

For getting Uri from File, use below class:

public class UtilityFile {
    public static @Nullable Uri getUriFromFile(Context context, @Nullable File file) {
        if (file == null)
            return null;

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
            try {
                return FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, "com.my.package.fileprovider", file);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                return null;
            }
        } else {
            return Uri.fromFile(file);
        }
    }

    // Returns the URI path to the Bitmap displayed in specified ImageView       
    public static Uri getLocalBitmapUri(Context context, ImageView imageView) {
        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 {
            // Use methods on Context to access package-specific directories on external storage.
            // This way, you don't need to request external read/write permission.
            File file = new File(context.getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "share_image_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png");
            FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
            bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
            out.close();

            bmpUri = getUriFromFile(context, file);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return bmpUri;
    }    
}
