Answer 1

You need use Environment and not hardcode path, for example, if your file is in sdcard root use a code like this:

File root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath();
String fname = "bell.mp3";
file = new File(root, fname);

Intent shareCaptionIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareCaptionIntent.setType("audio/mp3");
shareCaptionIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "YOURTEXT");
shareCaptionIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://" + file.toString()));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareCaptionIntent, "Share in:"));

If a resource use this:

Uri.parse("android.resource://com.my.package/raw/" + fname);

Or resource ID

Uri.parse("android.resource://com.my.package/" + R.raw.bell.mp3);
