In my activity I have an ImageView. I want ,when user click on it, a dialog opens (like intent dialogs) that show list of apps which can open image than user can choose a app an
Create a chooser by using the following code. You can add it in the part where you say imageview.setonclicklistener().
Intent intent = new Intent();
// Show only images, no videos or anything else
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
// Always show the chooser (if there are multiple options available)
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), 1);
You have to startActivity
using intent of type Intent.ACTION_VIEW
-
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(<your_image_uri>, "image/*");
startActivity(intent);
You can't pass a bitmap to an intent.
From what I see you want to share a drawable from your resources. So first you have to convert the drawable to a bitmap. And then You have to save the bitmap to the external memory as a file and then get a uri for that file using Uri.fromFile(new File(pathToTheSavedPicture)) and pass that uri to the intent like this.
shareDrawable(this, R.drawable.dish, "myfilename");
public void shareDrawable(Context context,int resourceId,String fileName) {
try {
//convert drawable resource to bitmap
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), resourceId);
//save bitmap to app cache folder
File outputFile = new File(context.getCacheDir(), fileName + ".png");
FileOutputStream outPutStream = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 100, outPutStream);
outPutStream.flush();
outPutStream.close();
outputFile.setReadable(true, false);
//share file
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(outputFile));
shareIntent.setType("image/png");
context.startActivity(shareIntent);
}
catch (Exception e) { Toast.makeText(context, "error", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
