How to share image and text on pinterest using intent


I want to share image and text on pinterest using intent. Any ideas?


Solution

  • You have to first check pintrest application is installed into device or not using this function.

        private boolean appInstalledOrNot(String uri) {
           PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
           boolean app_installed;
           try {
               pm.getPackageInfo(uri, PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES);
               app_installed = true;
           }
           catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
               app_installed = false;
           }
           return app_installed;
       }
    

    If this function returns you true than you can call this below line.

    File imageFileToShare = new File(orgimagefilePath);
    
    Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(imageFileToShare);
    
    Intent sharePintrestIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    sharePintrestIntent.setPackage("com.pinterest");
    sharePintrestIntent.putExtra("com.pinterest.EXTRA_DESCRIPTION", text);
    sharePintrestIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
    sharePintrestIntent.setType("image/*");
    startActivityForResult(sharePintrestIntent, PINTEREST);
    

    This was work for me. please check it.
