SendIntent issue

[Ferhat]

I’ve tried many different methods, but I still haven’t been able to solve the problem. I’m trying to send a video via WhatsApp, but nothing happens. Did I do something wrong?

Example code:

function shareVideoToWhatsApp(videoPath) {
    var contentUri = app.Path2Uri(videoPath);
    alert("URI: " + contentUri);

    var extras = [
        { name: "android.intent.extra.STREAM", type: "uri", value: contentUri }
    ];

    app.SendIntent(
        "com.whatsapp",
        null,
        "android.intent.action.SEND",
        null,
        null,
        "video/mp4",
        extras,
        "Result",
        function(resultCode, data) {
            alert("Result: " + resultCode);
        }
    );
}

shareVideoToWhatsApp("a.mp4");

Try this - 

function shareVideoToWhatsApp(videoPath) {
    if (!app.FileExists(videoPath)) {
        alert("File not found: " + videoPath);
        return;
    }

    var contentUri = app.Path2Uri(videoPath);

    var extras = JSON.stringify([
        {

            name: "android.intent.extra.STREAM",
            type: "uri",
            value: contentUri
        }

    ]);

    app.SendIntent(
        "com.whatsapp",
        null,
        "android.intent.action.SEND",
        null,
        null,
        "video/mp4",
        extras

    );
}

shareVideoToWhatsApp("a.mp4");

Also, try this - 

app.SendFile("a.mp4", "", "", "Share video");

That first script above might need this adding to the sendintent method internally- 

i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);

So I will add that to  v2.80 (and V3)

HI,

First I'd use the Whatsapp directly to test that the format is compatible

(Video Codec:  H.264 and AAC)

Then check for errors in the DS debug.

What version of Android is this?

Where is the mp4 (try other locations)?

Regards, ah

I recommend using this version for testing - https://droidscript.org/download/v2.80/
