Instagram sharing Photos/Videos


I am developing app for Instagram analytics and I want to have funcionality to share photos or videos from mobile phone. Is there any API for posting pictures and videos?

If there is not, I know there is intent for sharing, but how to handle if the user has multiple accounts on his phone? Is there a chooser for the account or how is it done?

Im developing it mainly for Android, so, it would be good to know how to do this from android.


Solution

  • not possible to post image in Instagram like facebook or twitter.

    use below code to share with intent

            btnShareIMG.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Intent intent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.instagram.android");
                if (intent != null)
                {
                    Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
                    shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                    shareIntent.setPackage("com.instagram.android");
                    try {
                        shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), imagePath, "Nilesh", "Rathod")));
                    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                        Log.e("ERROR",e.printStackTrace());
                    }
                    shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
                    startActivity(shareIntent);
                }
                else
                {                   
                    intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                    intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id="+"com.instagram.android"));
                    startActivity(intent);
                }
            }
        });
