How to receive shared image and display it?

Discuss

Apparently you are getting a different path on your device and this code will not work on other devices, as in my it already contains /storage/emulated/0

Secondly, I get error at app launch if I use only this bloks

This perfectly works for me :smiley:

TBH, I am developing this app for myself.
Sometimes I capture a screenshot on my phone, just for sake, let’s consider it’s a screenshot of a Dribbble shot, featuring an app’s UI which I am interested in. Now, I want it to be opened on my PC’s chrome browser, to make myself able to view it side-by-side along with developing apps.

I came along an idea, which is very simple as follows -

  • First, capture screenshot, and open photo gallery.
  • Then tap “share” there, and choose my app.
  • The app would receive the image, and display it. Now the main process begins.
  • The image would be uploaded to Cloudinary, and it will return it’s URL.
  • The URL would be shortened with the help of bitly.com’s URL shortening API, and I will get the short URL to the image. (Thanks to @techyguyhelp’s amazing method :+1: )
  • Then I would open the URL in my chrome browser, and get the image :smiley:

Thanks a lot everyone! :blush:

P.S. I knew apps like this already existed, but I wanted to build one myself :cat:

My App doesn’t need a timer to get the correct path and display the image.

Oh, Sorry I forgot to hide it :sweat_smile:

It is required in further processes of my app :sweat_smile:

Thanks! :blush:

There is something wrong in FileTools.
Can you try that with TaifunFile?

And for your specific device, this should be the solution:

I just noticed that I never posted this however, here you go

Probably because of this (two slashes)

it becomes this /storage/emulated/0//DCIM/Screenshots/20200229_10934.jpg

What about my solution? Maybe some could check it on your / various devices.
I think it should work that way on all devices.

Excuse me, can I receive (import) a specific data as a database that has been sent (shared-exported) from another application with these methods?

…only if it is in text format
