Receiving an ACTION_SEND intent from the Gallery

Question

I am trying to receive an image from the Android Gallery via an ACTION_SEND intent. I have set the proper intent filters and the Gallery opens my app. Now I want to know how to

Answer 1

Not sure about the SEND intent, but when handling returns from PICK intents to the MediaStore for a photo, it goes something like:

    Uri selectedImage = intent.getData();
    AssetFileDescriptor fd = getContentResolver()
            .openAssetFileDescriptor(selectedImage, "r");
    FileInputStream s = fd.createInputStream();
    // your image data processing code here

Be careful though - you can be working with 5+ megapixel files, which can be quite large (especially if you're uncompressing them to bitmaps to process), and your memory is pretty limited.
