How to choose Image to shre from gallery

@@zakblacki I have put this on my todo list to post a video of. Thanks For now try something like this: stackoverflow.com/questions/38352148/get-image-from-the-gallery-and-show-in-imageview

Welcome! Glad it was helpful.

It shouldn't get stuck. It either fails to share it (permission wasn't given correctly) or it does (yay!). If you are using external storage, you would most likely need this path. developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/content/FileProvider#SpecifyFiles Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().

The code is available on Github.

Cropping is something I haven't done much with yet. Are you getting the IllegalArgumentException when cropping or using FileProvider?

The exception is when FileProvider is called. Error line: Uri uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(MainActivity.this, "com.example.admin.newcrop.provider", createImageFile()); And this is the createImageFile() private File createImageFile() throws IOException { // Create an image file name String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date()); String imageFileName = "JPEG_" + timeStamp + "_"; //File storageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory( // Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM), "Camera"); File image = File.createTempFile(imageFileName,".jpg"); // Save a file: path for use with ACTION_VIEW intents mCurrentPhotoPath = "file:" + image.getAbsolutePath(); return image; } I removed the storageDir due to another error when i put the directory into createTempFile.

That could be based on a lot of things unfortunately, IllegalArgumentException is a common exception. I would suggest posting the stack trace here or stackoverflow to see if someone is getting the same thing.

Alright sir. Thanks a lot!

its because you were sharing a null file.

You will have to save the file into the phones disk before being able to share it to other apps. If the image is loaded from the internet, you can just share the url to that image.

shareit app? Sort of. But you would need like a bluetooth app to transfer offline.

how about connecting hotspot?. is that possible? hope you can give me ideas on how to..

All this does is share files with other apps. If an app has capabilities of sharing files through bluetooth & hotspots, then yes you should be able to share it with those.

You wouldn't need these for anything below API level 23 since runtime permission was added in 6.0, for the other two let me know if you have a stack trace.

It should work the same way, instead you change the setType. For example for mp3: shareIntent.setType("audio/mp3"); or all audio files shareIntent.setType("audio/*");

@@androidtutorials9328 What about when saving the files to storage? You use bitmap to do that, but how would you do it for audio?

@@smhily This one is for audio. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itupfLqJ0MnGqpc.html In this case I'm moving them to the download folder, but you can place them where-ever based on your needs.

Bad eyes. Need something that's dark. Color also helps in differentiating stuff.

It sucks from all points of view, it doesn't make any sense, not to mention what they did in the file management on version 30 of the SDK. I believe that whoever is in charge of google doesn't have the slightest idea of ​​what it means in PRACTICE to make such changes for a programmer and for the management of all his applications that suddenly stop working.
