I am trying to use Intent for sharing.It works well with single image or when I use Intent.ACTION_SEND.
But when i use Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE It does not seems
After trying lots of things Finally I came to solution that In current version Facebook broke Intent for accepting Multiple Images while coming as Intent. ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE. But I surprised when Multiple sharing is working with default Gallery in my device. Finally with the help of my friend (not wanted to take credit from him). I came to know that Default GAllery is sending files in URI by using Content Provider thats why they are working So I have changed my URI list for Facebook (I have created custom share dialog, So I can intercept which option is selected from Share Dialog opened via Intent.)
private void updateUrisForFacebook() {
if (intent.getAction().equalsIgnoreCase(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE)) {
ArrayList uris = intent
.getParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM);
for (int i = 0; i < uris.size(); i++) {
Uri uri = uris.get(i);
String path = uri.getPath();
File imageFile = new File(path);
uri = getImageContentUri(imageFile);
uris.set(i, uri);
}
intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);
}
}
private Uri getImageContentUri(File imageFile) {
String filePath = imageFile.getAbsolutePath();
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
new String[] { MediaStore.Images.Media._ID },
MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA + "=? ",
new String[] { filePath }, null);
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {
int id = cursor.getInt(cursor
.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.MediaColumns._ID));
Uri baseUri = Uri.parse("content://media/external/images/media");
return Uri.withAppendedPath(baseUri, "" + id);
} else {
if (imageFile.exists()) {
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA, filePath);
return context.getContentResolver().insert(
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
} else {
return null;
}
}
}
Finally It works :)
So Basic Idea is to convert your URI list into Content provider URI list and then check it will work.
