[SOLVED] How to attach a Bitmap when launching ACTION

How to attach a Bitmap when launching ACTION_SEND intent

I have this code:

 Intent intent = new Intent(); 
 intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND); 
 startActivity(intent);

Which will successfully launch a Messaging App on Android.

But how can I attach a Bitmap object when launching the intent?

I have read http://developer.android.com/reference/Android/content/Intent.html, the closet thing to what I need is EXTRA_STREAM, like this:

intent2.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, _uri);

But my case, I have a reference of Bitmap object, not an URI of a Bitmap.

Please tell me what to do to attach a Bitmap object?

Solution

    String pathofBmp = Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), bitmap,"title", null);
    Uri bmpUri = Uri.parse(pathofBmp);
    final Intent emailIntent1 = new Intent(     android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    emailIntent1.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    emailIntent1.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, bmpUri);
    emailIntent1.setType("image/png");

Where bitmap is your bitmap object which must be store in SD Card. and then use that Uri for shareimage.
