Android Question Share image using file provider ?

[hookshy]

After using the code below, a picture can be viewed but share option is not enabled !
Is there a way you can add parameters to the intent object to tell him the image is finished and ready to be shared ?
When you edit the picture by adding an effect then save picture again, you can then share the image but users might not know what option to use, of might find this inappropriate. I find this very difficult to find another step in editing again the picture just to use the share option.

'code below works following the file provider library and examples

    Dim FileName As String = "b4a.png"
    File.Copy(File.DirAssets, FileName, Starter.Provider.SharedFolder, FileName)
    Dim in As Intent
    in.Initialize(in.ACTION_VIEW, "")
    Starter.Provider.SetFileUriAsIntentData(in, FileName)
    'Type must be set after calling SetFileUriAsIntentData
    in.SetType("image/*")
    StartActivity(in)

Change the intent action to ACTION_SEND.

Change the intent action to ACTION_SEND.

ACTION_SEND does not work, tested using what'app and gmail !
It would have been nice to view the picture with the default picture view with the share enabled !

This code works with Markup app:

Sub btnViewImage_Click
   Dim FileName As String = "b4a.png"
   File.Copy(File.DirAssets, FileName, Starter.Provider.SharedFolder, FileName)
   Dim in As Intent
   in.Initialize(in.ACTION_EDIT, "")
   Starter.Provider.SetFileUriAsIntentData(in, FileName)
   'Type must be set after calling SetFileUriAsIntentData
   in.SetType("image/*")
   StartActivity(in)
End Sub
