NullPointerException picture NullPointerException · Nov 28, 2011 · Viewed 77.2k times · Source

I'm trying to share images with Facebook, twitter, etc using SHARE INTENT from Android.

I found code to send a image to the share intent, but this code needs the URI of the bitmap: fullSizeImageUri

This is the full code:

private void startShareMediaActivity(Bitmap image) {
    boolean isVideo=false;
    String mimeType="bmp";
    Uri fullSizeImageUri=null;
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    intent.setType(mimeType);
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, fullSizeImageUri);
    try {
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, (isVideo ? "video" : "image")));
    } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) { }
}

Please, can someone help me to transforma a Bitmap into a Uri?

thanks

Here is the Colin's Blog who suggest the simple method to convert bitmap to Uri Click here

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);
}
