android youtube upload using intent

Question

Intent intent = new Intent();

intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("video/3gpp");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, videoURI);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Upload video via:"));

I used above code to upload 3gp video to youtube by firing intent

but it throws following exception.

I dont understand what is the relationship between the date exception and media uploading

Answer 1

I ran into the same bug when I used Uri.fromFile() for obtaining URI of my video. The solution was using a ContentProvider for creating URI:

ContentValues content = new ContentValues(4);
content.put(Video.VideoColumns.TITLE, "Test");
content.put(Video.VideoColumns.DATE_ADDED,
System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000);
content.put(Video.Media.MIME_TYPE, "video/mp4");
content.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA, "/sdcard/myvideo.mp4");
ContentResolver resolver = getContext().getContentResolver();
Uri uri = resolver.insert(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, content);
