Its been a while, and I would need to search for code, but I think: You will need to take the Uri you get in share action, and do a MediaQuery to find the source file or get a stream to read it from.
It could be on sdcard or main memory or maybe even Picasa only having thumbnails locally. It could be not readable from your app even, and only visible via a content provider and the MediaStorage query. So depending on the case you might need to read it through the Uri you are provided and then re-write the stream to a new file of your own, not being able to copy a file. I'd read up on media storage and media queries. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
