I created a meme share app that takes a random meme from Reddit in Image view and the user has the option to share the meme through other apps. The share function works good with jpg, png, etc file types except gif. The gif appears in the imageView but as soon as I click the share button the app crashes. This only happens in the gif file type
My share Function code. The function name is shareMeme.
private void shareImageandText(Bitmap bitmap) { Uri uri = getmageToShare(bitmap); Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); // putting uri of image to be shared intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri); // adding text to share intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hey! Checkout this cool meme on Reddit"); // Add subject Here intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Try Meme Lelo"); // setting type to image intent.setType("image/*"); // calling startactivity() to share startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share Via")); } // Retrieving the url to share private Uri getmageToShare(Bitmap bitmap) { File imagefolder = new File(getCacheDir(), "images"); Uri uri = null; try { imagefolder.mkdirs(); File file = new File(imagefolder, "shared_image.png"); FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file); bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, outputStream); outputStream.flush(); outputStream.close(); uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, "com.akki.memelelo.fileprovider", file); } catch (Exception e) { Toast.makeText(this, "" + e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } return uri; } public void shareMeme(View view) { BitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable = (BitmapDrawable) memeImageView.getDrawable(); Bitmap bitmap = bitmapDrawable.getBitmap(); shareImageandText(bitmap);}Logcat - Red Lines Error Msg
