Android Question intent ACTION_SEND zip file fial

[Albert Lin]

Hello
I'm trying to send a .zip file to LineApp in my code as below, but the .zip seems broken and couldn't be opened on LineApp.
I used to send .mp3 to lineApp, it's totally ok. I was just wondering what's wrong with .zip file
Is 2.3MB zip file too big to be sent?

Thanks for help

Sub ToLineApp_ZipFile( FullName As String) 
    Dim i As Intent, u As Uri, pm As PackageManager, theApp As String, ext As String
    
    u.Parse("file://" & FullName )

    i.Initialize(i.ACTION_SEND, "")
    i.SetType("application/zip")
    i.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.STREAM",u)
    i.SetPackage("jp.naver.line.android")
    StartActivity(i)
End Sub

What is the content of "Fullname"?
What Androidversion are you running it on?

Please note that file://-URIs are not allowed any longer since a few years (Api 24 and above (we are at 30+ as of now))

android.jar / targetSdkVersion / minSdkVersion

There are several versioned components that affect the compilation process and the runtime behavior of our apps. The purpose of this tutorial is to explain the differences between them and help you choose which version to use. Each Android version is mapped to an api level. You can see this...

Fullname: File.DirRootExternal & "/__NetFlix_Word/3.zip"
Version: uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" android:targetSdkVersion="22

but it is ok for File.DirRootExternal & "/__NetFlix_Word/1.mp3"

File.DirRootExternal

Code with File.DirRootExternal = broken code

Check the link i mentioned. You need to use Fileprovider

Version: uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" android:targetSdkVersion="22

Your app is not on Playstore, right? For playstoreapps the targetsdk must be 30.
