Sharing pdf to Evernote not working in Android

I am creating a pdf for sharing by passing this intent to createChooser():

Intent shareIntent = ShareCompat.IntentBuilder.from(activity)
            .setType("image/*")
            .setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            .putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uriToPdf);
            .getIntent()
            .addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);

This is working for mail, dropbox and other apps but for some reason it shows up with the file ending .null in Evernote, the file size is correct though.

How can I upload the pdf to Evernote?

Solution

  • I believe the issue is the asterisk in your file type - that's not a supported MIME type in Evernote. Supported types for Resources are listed in the Evernote API documentation:

    image/gif
image/jpeg
image/png
audio/wav
audio/mpeg
audio/amr
application/pdf
