How do create whatsapp share option in my app

I am new to Android development. I don't know Android Studio and Java. But I am developing an app with the help of Google, YouTube and StackOverflow. Now I want to add share option (Image + text) in my Recyclerview image to Whatsapp.

Recyclerview

The image is loaded from Firebase storage using Picasso lib. I don't know how to convert Firebase ImageView to bitmap.

Firebase ImageView

bitmap

I have added a Share button below each item. How do I create share option in this sharebutton?

This is my MainActivity:

public class ReviewMainActivity extends AppCompatActivity

private static final String APP_ID = "ca-app-pub-8867939169855032~3069406037";

FirebaseDatabase database;
DatabaseReference MCR;

RecyclerView recyclerView;
RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager;

FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<ReviewModel, ReviewViewHolder> adapter;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_review_main);

Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.ReviewMain_Toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(null);
toolbar.setLogo(R.mipmap.uploadpost);
toolbar.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
Intent settingsIntent = new Intent(ReviewMainActivity.this, ReviewPostUploadActivity.class);
startActivity(settingsIntent);

);

if (getSupportActionBar()!=null)
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);


MobileAds.initialize(this,APP_ID);
AdView adView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
adView.loadAd(adRequest);
database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
MCR = database.getReference("Review");

recyclerView = (RecyclerView)findViewById(R.id.recycler_ReviewMain);
recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
LinearLayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
layoutManager.setReverseLayout(true);
layoutManager.setStackFromEnd(true);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager (layoutManager);

loadMenu();


private void loadMenu()
adapter = new FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<ReviewModel, ReviewViewHolder>(ReviewModel.class,
R.layout.review_main_items,
ReviewViewHolder.class,MCR)
@Override
protected void populateViewHolder(ReviewViewHolder viewHolder, ReviewModel model, final int position)
viewHolder.Review_Title.setText(model.getTitle());
viewHolder.Profile_Name.setText(model.getProfileName());

Picasso.with(getBaseContext()).load(model.getImage())
.into(viewHolder.Review_Image);

Picasso.with(getBaseContext()).load(model.getProfileimage())
.into(viewHolder.Profile_Image);

final ReviewModel local = model;

viewHolder.Share_Icon.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
@Override
public void onClick(View view)

);

;
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);


@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
if (item.getItemId()==android.R.id.home)
finish();
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);




This is my Intent Part

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"));


try URL url = new URL("http://...."); Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(url.openConnection().getInputStream()); catch(IOException e) System.out.println(e);

You can try

Intent uriIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("whatsapp://send?text=" + "Text you want to share"));
startActivity(uriIntent);


This will open whatsapp and will ask you for the people you want to send the entered text to.

To send a file do this

File outputFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory
(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS), "example.pdf");
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(outputFile);

Intent share = new Intent();
share.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("application/pdf");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
share.setPackage("com.whatsapp");

activity.startActivity(share);


The above code will send pdf files.

To send the image (one image) , replace “application/pdf” with “image/*”

Remember : application will crash if you try to send text, pdf and image all at the same time, so send only one item at a time.
