How to add caption with instagram image share in android?

Question

This is my code. I want to add a caption with the image. Please help me.

private void shareInstagram(Uri uri){ Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND); shareIntent.setType("image/*"); // set mime type shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,uri); // set uri shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "Sample title"); shareIntent.setPackage("com.instagram.android"); startActivity(shareIntent); } 

Answer 1

you have to write a caption on the image and then create a uri.

  private Bitmap writeTextOnDrawable(int drawableId, String text) { Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), drawableId) .copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true); Typeface tf = Typeface.create("Helvetica", Typeface.BOLD); Paint paint = new Paint(); paint.setStyle(Style.FILL); paint.setColor(Color.WHITE); paint.setTypeface(tf); paint.setTextAlign(Align.CENTER); paint.setTextSize(convertToPixels(mContext, 11)); Rect textRect = new Rect(); paint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), textRect); Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bm); //If the text is bigger than the canvas , reduce the font size if(textRect.width() >= (canvas.getWidth() - 4)) //the padding on either sides is considered as 4, so as to appropriately fit in the text paint.setTextSize(convertToPixels(mContext, 7)); //Scaling needs to be used for different dpi's //Calculate the positions int xPos = (canvas.getWidth() / 2) - 2; //-2 is for regulating the x position offset //"- ((paint.descent() + paint.ascent()) / 2)" is the distance from the baseline to the center. int yPos = (int) ((canvas.getHeight() / 2) - ((paint.descent() + paint.ascent()) / 2)) ; canvas.drawText(text, xPos, yPos, paint); BitmapDrawable bmd = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), bm); Bitmap newbit; newbit=bmd.getBitmap(); return newbit; } public static int convertToPixels(Context context, int nDP) { final float conversionScale = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density; return (int) ((nDP * conversionScale) + 0.5f) ; }

Save bitmap to file:

Save bitmap in file function

---

create uri from file:

 Uri.fromFile(new File(<your image absolute path>)); 

---

Then pass this uri to your function

 private void shareInstagram(Uri uri){ Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND); shareIntent.setType("image/*"); // set mime type shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,uri); // set uri shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "Sample title"); shareIntent.setPackage("com.instagram.android"); startActivity(shareIntent); } 

Hope it should work
