The code I am using is:
String path= "android.resource://"+Principal.this.getPackageName()+"/raw/a.mp3";
Uri uri = Uri.parse(path);
Intent compartiraudio = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
compartiraudio.setType("audio/*");
compartiraudio.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(compartiraudio, "Comparte un archivo de audio"));
I do not know what I'm doing wrong but the audio is not sent, the sharing menu is opened by whatsapp but by accepting it gives error.
It is important to know that when trying to send a file through WhatsApp, it must be in the external storage directory, this applies to audio files, images, etc. If it is not in this location, we first need to make a copy of the file and save it in the external storage directory.
This is an example assuming you have an .mp3 file inside /raw/jorgesys_sound.mp3
Firstly, we make a copy of the file stored within /raw and then configure the intent to send this type of file through the Whatsapp application:
This is the methods to use
private void sendWhatsAppAudio(){
try {
//Copy file to external ExternalStorage.
String mediaPath = copyFiletoExternalStorage(R.raw.jorgesys_sound, "jorgesys_sound.mp3");
Intent shareMedia = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
//set WhatsApp application.
shareMedia.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
shareMedia.setType("audio/*");
//set path of media file in ExternalStorage.
shareMedia.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(mediaPath));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareMedia, "Compartiendo archivo."));
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Whatsapp no se encuentra instalado", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
private String copyFiletoExternalStorage(int resourceId, String resourceName){
String pathSDCard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/Android/data/" + resourceName;
try{
InputStream in = 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 (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return pathSDCard;
}
Do not forget to define the permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
