What's App multiline text share intent

Question

I tried to share a multi-line text using the following code, but only the last line appears. val sharingIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND) sharingIntent.setType("text/plain") sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Found this cool deal! Check it out.") sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, TITLE) sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "MRP : $PRICE") sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Deal Price : $DEAL_PRICE") startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share using"))

Answer 1

When you call putExtra(key, value), any value previous put under the same key gets wiped out. Try putting a single string that contains all the text you want:

sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
    "Found this cool deal! Check it out.\n" +
    TITLE + "\n" +
    "MRP : $PRICE\n" +
    "DEAL PRICE : $DEAL_PRICE");

As for the HTML content, you'll need to show us the code you used. However, you probably don't want to use fromHtml(); that converts HTML to styled text, which I suspect is not what WhatsApp expects to receive. Try just sending the raw HTML with the correct MIME type.
