How to Share Image+Text using Share Intent in android

Question

I use this code, but its not working properly.

String Body = "Deals Name: " + Bussinessname + "\n"
    + "Deals: " + deal + "\n" + "Address: " + city
    + " ," + country;

Intent share = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);

Uri screenshotUri = Uri.parse(Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI + "/" + image);
share.setType("image/*");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "The EssexPass");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Body);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, screenshotUri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Deal"));

When I use the type text, then it works properly.
But I want to share a text and an image.
And the share intent is not working in FaceBook.

Answer 1

Try out the below code:

String fileName = "image-3116.jpg";//Name of an image
String externalStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
String myDir = externalStorageDirectory + "/saved_images/"; // the file will be in saved_images
Uri uri = Uri.parse("file:///" + myDir + fileName);
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/html");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Test Mail");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Launcher");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Deal"));

Answer 2

Using intent filter we are not able to share the both text + image on facebook. If you want to share the image and text together then you have to create the bitmap of image + text.

Download the source code here(Share image and text on facebook using intent in android)
