Android: Share an image to other apps

The last post was about receiving shared images.

To send off images to another app, just use:

view sourceprint?

01.Intent intent;

02.File file;

03. 

04.file = new File(absolute_filename);

05.intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

06.intent.setType("image/jpeg");

07.intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(file));

08. 

09.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share photo"));

If you need to be particular about the mime type, see get file mime type from filename.
