I found 2 variants of the solution. Both involve saving Bitmap to storage, but the image will not appear in the gallery.

First variant:

Saving to external storage

• but to private folder of the app.
• for API <= 18 it requires permission, for newer it does not.

1. Setting permissions

Add into AndroidManifest.xml before tag

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="18"/>

2. Saving method:

 /** * Saves the image as PNG to the app's private external storage folder. * @param image Bitmap to save. * @return Uri of the saved file or null */private Uri saveImageExternal(Bitmap image) {    //TODO - Should be processed in another thread    Uri uri = null;    try {        File file = new File(getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "to-share.png");        FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(file);        image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, stream);        stream.close();        uri = Uri.fromFile(file);    } catch (IOException e) {        Log.d(TAG, "IOException while trying to write file for sharing: " + e.getMessage());    }    return uri;}

3. Checking storage accesibility

External storage might not be accessible, so you should check it before trying to save: https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/files

/** * Checks if the external storage is writable. * @return true if storage is writable, false otherwise */public boolean isExternalStorageWritable() {    String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();    if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state)) {        return true;    }    return false;}

Second variant

Saving to cacheDir using FileProvider. It does not require any permissions.

1. Setup FileProvider in AndroidManifest.xml

<manifest>    ...    <application>        ...        <provider            android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"            android:authorities="com.mydomain.fileprovider"            android:exported="false"            android:grantUriPermissions="true">                <meta-data                    android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"                    android:resource="@xml/file_paths" />        </provider>        ...    </application></manifest>

2. Add path to the res/xml/file_paths.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><resources>    <paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">         <cache-path name="shared_images" path="images/"/>    </paths></resources>

3. Saving method:

 /** * Saves the image as PNG to the app's cache directory. * @param image Bitmap to save. * @return Uri of the saved file or null */private Uri saveImage(Bitmap image) {    //TODO - Should be processed in another thread    File imagesFolder = new File(getCacheDir(), "images");    Uri uri = null;    try {        imagesFolder.mkdirs();        File file = new File(imagesFolder, "shared_image.png");        FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(file);        image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, stream);        stream.flush();        stream.close();        uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, "com.mydomain.fileprovider", file);    } catch (IOException e) {        Log.d(TAG, "IOException while trying to write file for sharing: " + e.getMessage());    }    return uri;}

Compressing and saving can be time-consuming, therefore this should be done in a different thread

Actual sharing

/** * Shares the PNG image from Uri. * @param uri Uri of image to share. */private void shareImageUri(Uri uri){    Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);    intent.setType("image/png");    startActivity(intent);}

As CommonsWare stated you need to get the URI to the bitmap and pass that as your Extra.

String bitmapPath = Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), bitmap,"title", null);Uri bitmapUri = Uri.parse(bitmapPath);...intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, bitmapUri );

** finally i got the solution.**

Step 1 :Share Intent handling Block. This will Pop Up your window with list of Applications in you phone

public void share_bitMap_to_Apps() {    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);    i.setType("image/*");    ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();    /*compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);    byte[] bytes = stream.toByteArray();*/    i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, getImageUri(mContext, getBitmapFromView(relative_me_other)));    try {        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "My Profile ..."));    } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {        ex.printStackTrace();    }}

Step 2 :Converting your view to BItmap

public static Bitmap getBitmapFromView(View view) {    //Define a bitmap with the same size as the view    Bitmap returnedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getWidth(),      view.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);    //Bind a canvas to it    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(returnedBitmap);    //Get the view's background    Drawable bgDrawable = view.getBackground();    if (bgDrawable != null)        //has background drawable, then draw it on the canvas        bgDrawable.draw(canvas);    else        //does not have background drawable, then draw white background on the canvas        canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);    // draw the view on the canvas    view.draw(canvas);    //return the bitmap    return returnedBitmap;}

Step 3 :

To get The URI from Bitmap Image

public Uri getImageUri(Context inContext, Bitmap inImage) {    ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();    inImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);    String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(inContext.getContentResolver(), inImage, "Title", null);    return Uri.parse(path);}
