Question

I have two apps: App1 which takes an image and assigns it to an address(where the pic was taken), and another app, App2 which takes image and text(address) from App1. When a user clicks on a button in App1, I must pass this image and the text to App2.

Until now, I am able to successfully send an image to App2 using ACTION_SEND. How shall I also send a text together with image?

I already had a look at this android tutorial: http://developer.android.com/training/sharing/send.html#send-multiple-content

But it talks about sending multiple images, and not sending image and text.

Answer 1

You can try making a Parcelable object to hold text and image and send that.
For Parcelable take a look at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable.html

MyObject obj = new MyObject();
obj.text = "some text";
obj.image = imageUri;

Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
shareIntent.putExtras("MyObj", obj);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share images to.."));

public class MyObject implements Parcelable{
private String image;
private String text;
public void setImage(String _image){
image = _image;
}
public void setText(String _text){
text = _text;
}
public String getImage(){
return image;
}
public String getText(){
return text;
}
public MyObject(Parcel in) {
        readFromParcel(in);
    }
@Override
    public int describeContents() {
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {

        dest.writeString(image);
        dest.writeString(text);
    }
private void readFromParcel(Parcel in) {

        image = in.readString();
        text = in.readString();
    }
public static final Parcelable.Creator CREATOR =
        new Parcelable.Creator() {
            public MyObject createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
                return new MyObject(in);
            }

            public MyObject[] newArray(int size) {
                return new MyObject[size];
            }
        };

}
