Answer 1

try using this code.I am uploading ic_launcher from drawable.you can change this with your file from gallary or bitmap.

void share() {
    Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
                R.drawable.ic_launcher);
    Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    share.setType("image/jpeg");
    ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    icon.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
    File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                + File.separator + "temporary_file.jpg");
    try {
        f.createNewFile();
        FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(f);
        fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "hello #test");

    share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
            Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/temporary_file.jpg"));            
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image"));
}

By accident(the text message part, I had given up on that), I noticed that when I chose Messages App to handle the request, the Message App would open with the text from Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT plus the image ready to send, I hope it helps.

String[] recipient = {"your_email_here"};
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, recipient);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Hello, this is the subject line");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, messageEditText.getText().toString());
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
intent.setType("image/*");

please have a look on this code worked for me to share an text and image together

Intent shareIntent;
    Bitmap bitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
    String path = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES)+"/Share.png";
    OutputStream out = null;
    File file=new File(path);
    try {
        out = new FileOutputStream(file);
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
        out.flush();
        out.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    path=file.getPath();
    Uri bmpUri = Uri.parse("file://"+path);
    shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    shareIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, bmpUri);
    shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Hey please check this application " + "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" +getPackageName());
    shareIntent.setType("image/png");
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent,"Share with"));

Don't forget to give WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE Permission

also in facebook it can only share the image because facebook is not allowing to share the text via intent

private void shareImage(){

    StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder builder = new StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder();
    StrictMode.setVmPolicy(builder.build());

    Bitmap bitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.Starlay_straightface_image);


    File f =  new File(getExternalCacheDir()+"/"+getResources().getString(R.string.app_name)+".png");
    Intent shareIntent;


    try {
        FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(f);
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG,100,outputStream);

        outputStream.flush();
        outputStream.close();
        shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        shareIntent.setType("image/*");
        shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(f));
        shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Hey please check this application " + "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" +getPackageName());
        shareIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);


    }catch (Exception e){
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent,"Share Picture"));
}

Answer 5

you can share plain text by these codes

String shareBody = "Here is the share content body";
    Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
        sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject Here");
        sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareBody);
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, getResources().getString(R.string.share_using)));

so your full code (your image+text) becomes

      private Uri imageUri;
      private Intent intent;

            imageUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName()
                    + "/drawable/" + "ic_launcher");

            intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
//text
            intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hello");
//image
            intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
//type of things
            intent.setType("*/*");
//sending
            startActivity(intent);

I just replaced image/* with */*

update:

Uri imageUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName()
        + "/drawable/" + "ic_launcher");
 Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
 shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
 shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hello");
 shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
 shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
 shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
 startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "send"));
