### Share foreground image and background colors to WhatsApp Status

Source: https://faq.whatsapp.com/669870872481343/?helpref=hc_fnav&cms_platform=android

Creates an Intent to share a foreground image and optional background colors to WhatsApp Status. If background colors are not specified, the background defaults to the most dominant color. The URI must be granted FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION. The intent is started with startActivityForResult.

```Kotlin
val shareIntent: Intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).apply   { data = Uri.parse("https://wa.me/status")      putExtra("source_app_package_name", app_package_name)   setPackage("com.whatsapp")      //Decides on which media composition flow   putExtra("share_type", "SHARE_TO_STATUS")      //Foreground media   //Uri must be granted FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION   putExtra("foreground_media", Uri.parse("uriToImage"))      context.grantUriPermission(packageName, Uri.parse("uriToImage"),   Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION)      //Background color   putExtra("background_color", "hex_color")   //OR   putExtra("color_gradient_top", "hex_color")   putExtra("color_gradient_bottom", "hex_color")         flags = Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION   }            // Verify that the activity resolves the intent and start it startActivityForResult(shareIntent, 0)
```
