public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(
android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("video/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(
android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, title);
shareIntent.putExtra(
android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, title);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
shareIntent
.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent,
getString(R.string.str_share_this_video)));
}

val videoFile = File(filePath)
val videoURI = if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
FileProvider.getUriForFile(baseContext, baseContext.packageName, videoFile)
else
Uri.fromFile(videoFile)
ShareCompat.IntentBuilder.from(this)
.setStream(videoURI)
.setType("video/mp4")
.setChooserTitle("Share video...")
.startChooser()
}

I have a video file path and want to share the video on social media, but unable to share the video. I am trying following code in Android Studio 2.2, but it's not working.
Code snippet :
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); Button shareBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.sharebutton); shareBtn .setOnClickListener( new Button.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { File f = new File("/sdcard/VID_20161201123613.mp4"); Uri uriPath = Uri.parse(f.getPath()); Intent shareIntent = new Intent(); shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND); shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Text"); shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uriPath); shareIntent.setType("video/*"); shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "send")); } } ); }
