POOpen Instagram app from another android app and send an Image with a Caption
text
Body
copied!<p>What I basically looking for is to open Instagram app from another app and send an Image with a caption. There is some useful documentation to do this in iOS. (<a href="https://instagram.com/developer/mobile-sharing/iphone-hooks/" rel="nofollow">iPhone-hooks</a>)</p> <p>Do Instagram support to perform custom actions in Android like in iOS as described in <a href="https://instagram.com/developer/mobile-sharing/iphone-hooks/" rel="nofollow">iPhone-hooks</a>?</p> <p>Below is the current code used in my application to perform this task partially.</p> <pre><code>private void sendImageToIntagram(Activity activity) { Intent intent = activity.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.instagram.android"); if (intent != null) { Intent shareIntent = new Intent(); shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND); shareIntent.setPackage("com.instagram.android"); String imagePath = ImageUtil.getProcessedImage().getAbsolutePath(); try { shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(activity.getContentResolver(), imagePath, "Title", "Description"))); // shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "Caption 01"); // shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Caption 02"); // shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"Caption 03"); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg"); activity.startActivity(shareIntent); } else { // bring user to the market to download the app. intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + "com.instagram.android")); activity.startActivity(intent); } } </code></pre> <p>None of the above Title, description, Caption 01, Caption 02, Caption 03 worked.</p> <p>Then I tried with,</p> <p><code>shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);</code> --> <code>shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);</code></p> <p>and,</p> <pre><code>shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg"); shareIntent.setType("image/*"); shareIntent.setType("*/*"); </code></pre> <p>too, but none of the above worked also.</p>
