I have a soundboard app and am trying to enable the user to share the sounds from my res/raw folder. My code seems to properly create a folder and copy the resource into it. However, when trying to share, I always get an error from the external app. (e.g. gmail says: "Cannot attach file"). Can anyone please help?
The code:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
public class Pls {
public void sendAudio(Activity activity){
try {
String mediaPath = copyFiletoExternalStorage(R.raw.audio_file, "audiofile.mp3",activity);
Intent shareMedia = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareMedia.setType("audio/*");
shareMedia.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(mediaPath));
activity.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareMedia, "Select app"));
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(activity.getApplicationContext(), e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
private String copyFiletoExternalStorage(int resourceId, String resourceName,Activity activity){
String pathSDCard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/Android/data/" + resourceName;
try{
InputStream in = activity.getResources().openRawResource(resourceId);
FileOutputStream out = null;
out = new FileOutputStream(pathSDCard);
byte[] buff = new byte[1024];
int read = 0;
try {
while ((read = in.read(buff)) > 0) {
out.write(buff, 0, read);
}
} finally {
in.close();
out.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.i("err",e.toString());
}
return pathSDCard;
}
}
