Android Activity Crashing

Question

Hi, I have used the below sample code downloaded from a website and it is crashing.

Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, textMessage);
sendIntent.setType(HTTP.PLAIN_TEXT_TYPE); // "text/plain" MIME type
startActivity(sendIntent);

Let me know the possible solution.

Answer 1

Create the text message with a string

Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, textMessage);
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");

// Verify that the intent will resolve to an activity
if (sendIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
    startActivity(sendIntent);
}

For binary Data

Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uriToImage);
shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, getResources().getText(R.string.send_to)));

Note the following:

You can use a MIME type of "/", but this will only match activities that are able to handle generic data streams.

Answer 2

Hi, there are two possibilities may be
1. permissions in manifest.xml for setAction
2. type of message that you want to set
check both and try solutions for
1. use uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"
and for second
2. use `sendIntent.setType("text/plan");
