I developed an app that can reverse search by image. I wish user can use image and keyword at the same time to reverse search.
The method getImgurContent() works. It returns image's URL on the internet. But I don't know how to reverse search image with keyword at the same time.
uri = Uri.parse("https://images.google.com/searchbyimage?image_url=" + getImgurContent());
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent);
You can try code below:
uri = Uri.parse("https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=findSomeImage");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent);
Or:
uri = Uri.parse("https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q="+ getImgurContent());
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent);
I am trying to share an image from my Android app. I am trying to send it as an Email attachment as well as a photo on WhatsApp.
The code is:
String imageUrl = Path to image (eg. sdcard/pictures/image1.jpg);
shareImage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Uri uriToImage= Uri.parse(imageUrl);
Log.d("Image", ""+uriToImage);
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uriToImage);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share image:"));
}
});
What's happening is:
On WhatsApp I can share the image easily.
On Gmail, it says that the attachment could not be sent.
On Hangouts I get a toast which says Photo couldn't be found
On Facebook too, the post is not accompanied with the Image but I can post.
On Facebook Messenger, it crashes without opening.
The tutorial that I have followed for this is given here. The send binary content part of the tutorial is the one that I have implemented.
Another thing I tried was to set the image in an ImageView and see if it is displayed. The image is displayed correctly. Also, the log message prints the correct path of the image.
I also read and tried the answers to: Question 1 and Question 2 but to no avail.
Where am I going wrong?
try this,
try
{
File myFile = new File(share_image_path);
MimeTypeMap mime = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton();
String ext = myFile.getName().substring(myFile.getName().lastIndexOf(".") + 1);
String type = mime.getMimeTypeFromExtension(ext);
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.SEND");
sharingIntent.setType(type);
sharingIntent.putExtra("android.intent.extra.STREAM", Uri.fromFile(myFile));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share using"));
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
Yes the #CommonsWare Answer is correct you missed the Schema in your Intent.putExtra() and that's why it is failing to read your image in other social media platform
Here's my solution
Uri fileUri = Uri.fromFile(new File(imagePath));
//No need to do mimeType work or ext
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, fileUri);
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share Image:"));
BTW it works on all the mentioned platform
Uri image_uri = Uri.parse("file://"+imagePath);
Another method of creating Uri and passing it to intent
My goal is to upload a specific videofile to youtube from my app.
Here some code from my Method:
File videoToPlayFile = new File(mSharedPreferences.getString("output_file", ""));
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(videoToPlayFile), "video/*");
Intent intent2 = YouTubeIntents.createUploadIntent(this,intent.getData());
startActivity(intent2);
I get the error that the Uri path from intent.getData needs to begin with content://media, but when I take Logs it allways showas a path like file://mnt/sdcard/blablabla.mp4
I need to know how I could make a button that opens the androids web browser and navigates to a specific URL. I'm using eclipse and already know how to make buttons and click listeners.
Thanks for any help.
Just add this code to onClick():
// Launch a browser
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.yahoo.com");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent);
Intent websiteIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.android.com");
websiteIntent.setData(uri);
startActivity(websiteIntent);
Try this
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.google.com");
startActivity(intent);
I'm starting to learn how to develop apps for Android, and I'm having some issues with intents--it just doesn't seem like they're documented at all. All I want to do is send the user to the video recorder, where they record a video, and the video information is returned to my app. I know this is possible, as I've seen it in other apps, but it seems like the intent is undocumented (or I'm just not completely understanding how intents work).
Any thoughts?
Apart from above solutions, here are a list of common intents
//show web page intent:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.google.com");

In general, the Android developer docs are a good place to look for this kind of thing: there's a list of common intent actions in the Intent class reference. For recording video, check out the ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE intent action defined by the Media provider.

This is relatively new from Google (they seem to have updated their old page which just showed Intents for standard Google apps).
Common Intents
It tells you exact Intent specification for performing a wide range of actions with apps for the following:
Alarm Clock
Camera
Calendar
Contacts / People
Email
File Storage
Maps
Music / Video
Phone Dialler
Settings
Text Messaging
Web browsing
It's important now that Google have provided a definitive list of the Intents that should be used for performing a given action, that we use them exactly as provided there. The reasoning behind Intents is all about a standard method of communication between apps (i.e. different developers), so it is important for the sake of your app's compatibility to talk in exactly the same language as the one everyone else will be using.
