Is there a way to get URI of bitmap without saving it to sdcard?

Question

I am making an app that allows the user to share an image using android intent but how to get that URI of

a bitmap without need to saving it to sd card

I have used this code that works fine, but I don't need to save this bitmap to sd card

private Uri getImageUri(Context inContext, Bitmap inImage) {           ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();           inImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);           String path = Images.Media.insertImage(inContext.getContentResolver(), inImage, "title", null);           return Uri.parse(path);     } 

I need to get that URI without saving that bitmap to sd card

Try this:

protected void ShareImage(Intent intent) {     try {         URL url = new URL(mImageUrl);         Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(url.openConnection().getInputStream());         intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, getImageUri(mActivity, image));     } catch (Exception e) {         e.printStackTrace();     }     startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, 1001)); }  public Uri getImageUri(Context inContext, Bitmap inImage) {     ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();     inImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);     String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(inContext.getContentResolver(), inImage, "Title", null);     return Uri.parse(path); }  public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){     //check for result is OK and then check for your requestCode(1001) and then delete the file  }

Try this way

protected void tryToShareImage(Intent intent) {     try {         URL url = new URL(mImageUrl);         Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(url.openConnection().getInputStream());         intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, getImageUri(mActivity, image));     } catch (Exception e) {         e.printStackTrace();     }     startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share using...")); }  public Uri getImageUri(Context inContext, Bitmap inImage) {     ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();     inImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);     String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(inContext.getContentResolver(), inImage, "Title", null);     return Uri.parse(path); } 

after that You can delete files using File.delete()
