Answer 1

Try this piece of code:
Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(TAG_IMAGE);
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
// Target whatsapp:
shareIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
// Add text and then Image URI
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, <Message_text>);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
try {
startActivity(shareIntent);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
where Message_text will be sent as a image caption
