You may need to integrate the whatsApp in your application to share the data with other whatsApp user. The data may be text, image or video. So, in this tutorial, we will see how to integrate whatsApp to share –
(A) Text
(B) Image
(C) Video
in your android application.

Note – The tutorial will be covered in kotlin. However, you can download source code to get the sample application in java.

Now, we will start the tutorial, on android whatsApp integration, by creating a new application first. Then, going through each data type (text, image or video) one by one.

1. Creating New Project in Kotlin

Follow steps below to create new project. Please ignore the steps if you have already created the project.

Step	Description
1.	Open Android Studio.

4.	Then, select Empty Activity => click next => click finish.
5.	You will get a newly created project successfully if you have followed steps properly. If you want, visit post to get the steps in detail to create a new project

Since we have created a new project successfully, we will do some basic setup for android whatsApp integration.

2. Modify values Folder

Now, we will add constants (dimensions, strings etc.) in values folder. These constant values will be used later in the application.

So, Open res/values/strings.xml file. Then, add below code into it.

Now, open res/values/dimens.xml file. Then, add below code into it.

We have completed the basic setup.

Here, variable textToShare contains the text that you want to share on whatsApp. You can change it as per your need. Or, you can get it using EditText from your customer in the application. Now, we will see how to achieve it in our application.

Open res/layout/activity_main.xml file. Then, add below code into it.

Here, we have defined an editText, to take input from user, and a button to share entered text on whatsApp.

Whenever we want the user to share image, we also provide them a way to choose the image which he/she wants to share. We can achieve it using onActivityResult method in activity.

Now, we will show a button in mainActivity. Upon clicking on that button, a dialog will be prompted to choose the image you want to share. Then, after choosing the image, a new dialog will open to choose the contact with whom you will share the image.

SO, open res/layout/activity_main.xml file. Then, add below code into it.

Here, we have just defined a button that will be used to share the image.

Now, open main/java/com.tutorialwing.whatsappintegration/MainActivity.kt file. Then, add below code into it.
