//EMAIL SENDING CODE FROM ASSET FOLDER
email = editTextEmail.getText().toString();
subject = editTextSubject.getText().toString();
message = editTextMessage.getText().toString();
final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("file/html");
emailIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("content://com.example.deepa.xmlparsing/file:///android_assets/Combination-1.html"));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email using"));
Finally, I'm getting the file from asset folder (Combination-1.html).
It is getting
Runtime error file not found exception.
Is there any other way to send file attachment?
The easiest way to send an email is to create an Intent of type ACTION_SEND :
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Test");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{recipient_address});
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Attachment test");
To attach a single file, add some extended data to Intent :
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File("/path/to/file")));
intent.setType("text/html");
Or use Html.fromHtml() to build html content:
intent.putExtra( Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
Html.fromHtml(new StringBuilder()
.append("<h1>Heading 1</h1>")
.append("<p><a>http://www.google.com</a></p>")
.toString()));
For multiple attachments:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
intent.setType("text/html");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Test multiple");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "multiple attachments");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{recipient_address});
ArrayList<Uri> uris = new ArrayList<Uri>();
uris.add(Uri.fromFile(new File("/path/to/first/file")));
uris.add(Uri.fromFile(new File("/path/to/second/file")));
intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);
Finish with a call to startActivity() passing intent.
Create a File object of your asset folder file and attach this object to your email Intent.
And as mentioned in your Question runtime error file not found exception this may be cause the URL "file:///android_asset/" doesn't point to a particular directory, it is only used by WebView to address assets. Pulled that from
you can open this as an input stream and covert this InputStream to File
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(activity.getAssets().open(myfile.pdf)));
Send this file object in email as follow.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND ,Uri.parse("mailto:"));
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Card Set ");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,Uri.fromFile(file));
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
activity.startActivity(intent);
Where Intent.ACTION_SEND used to send Email , Intent.EXTRA_STREAM for the attachments with email. you can have multiple Intent.EXTRA_STREAMin single intent to refer multiple attachments with intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);.
intent.setType(String mimeType) input param is represent the MIME type data that you want to get in return from firing intent(here intent instance).where setype can be
image/jpeg
audio/mpeg4-generic
text/html
audio/mpeg
audio/aac
audio/wav
audio/ogg
audio/midi
audio/x-ms-wma
video/mp4
video/x-msvideo
video/x-ms-wmv
image/png
image/jpeg
image/gif
.xml ->text/xml
.txt -> text/plain
.cfg -> text/plain
.csv -> text/plain
.conf -> text/plain
.rc -> text/plain
.htm -> text/html
.html -> text/html
.pdf -> application/pdf
.apk -> application/vnd.android.package-archive
You can use following code to achieve your goal , and can change Hard coded string according your requirements .
String filename="contacts_sid.vcf";
File filelocation = new
File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath(), filename);
Uri path = Uri.fromFile(filelocation);
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
// Here you can set the type to 'email'
emailIntent .setType("abc.xyz.cursor.dir/email");
String to[] = {"android#gmail.com"};
emailIntent .putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, to);
// For the attachment
emailIntent .putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, path);
// the mail subject
emailIntent .putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Find Attachments with email");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent , "Sending email..."));
You can not share Asset folder file to other application without ContentProvider. You can send file which can be accesible for every application.like some whare in intenal phone memory or sd card.
Sharing Asset Check This Answer of #CommonsWare
Or
Read your text file and use #RonTLV Answer and mail.
Or
Copy File in intenal memory and add to sending launch.
Hope this answer will help.

I have created the backup file for the SQLite Database i have used in my application. All i want is to send this backup file through email. I have implemented the file sending Intent but when they open, it says, you can only send files like (Image, Coarse Location etc.)
String pathname = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
String filename = "/Android/data/<package-name>/databases/hello.db";
File file=new File(pathname, filename);
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Database Backup");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hey there, database successfully sent.");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(file));`i.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Your email id"));
The problem is due to Security reason, you can't email data from data folder, SO before emailing export it to SD card and then send, It should work.
Happy Coding !!!
Setting text/plain as attachment type probably causes email client to attempt to preview file as text. You should use other MIME type, such as "application/octet-stream", or even "any" mask - "*/*".
Here is an extremely dirty and simple snippet, that works just fine for me:
File dbFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "example.db");
SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase(dbFile, null);
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "example text");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "database sending example");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(dbFile));
startActivity(shareIntent);
I would love to share a picture with a text or url.
I'm using this code but I am only sharing the image, and changing the order of the "type" makes me share both but only as email / gmail
What am I doing wrong? my code is:
edit1
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
share.setType("*/*");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/Wallpaper/1.jpg"));
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "helloworld");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, (getApplicationContext().getString(R.string.condividi))));
try this
File DoutFile = new File(path);
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/*");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(DoutFile));
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
"" + getResources().getString(R.string.app_name));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image"));
Specify MIME type also for the text. "text/plain" is the type of text data MIME. Try using "*/*" as MIME, so you can send any generic data type.
Also try changing ACTION_SEND to ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE which specialized for delivering multiple data.
More info about ACTION_SEND_MULTPLE and handling MIME types:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html
If you want to send multiple files then use the following code :-
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Add any subject");
intent.setType("image/*"); /* sharing any type of image. Modify to your need */
ArrayList<Uri> files = new ArrayList<Uri>();
for(String path : filesToSend /* List of images you want to send */) {
File file = new File(path);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
files.add(uri);
}
intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, files); /* adding files to intent */
startActivity(intent);
In my app I want to send the history stored in my SQLite databse via email to another person,
(i.e as there is an option in 'Whatsapp' to send user chat via email, as a text file).
So here I just want an approach how to begin with this problem.
Thanks
You need to add EXTRA_STREAM to your Intent that sends e-mail:
intent.setType("application/octet-stream");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(databaseFile));
Where databaseFile is your database file.
Don't forget that you need to copy your file on external storage because you cannot attach file(s) stored in application-package directory.
Whole code can looks like:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {"recipient#domain.com"});
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Some message text");
i.setType("application/octet-stream");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(databaseFile));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send e-mail"));
If you want to put multiple attachements, you can use:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
...
ArrayList<Uri> items = new ArrayList<Uri>();
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(pathToFile));
items.add(uri);
i.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, items);
Note: Same will work for txt files.
I'm trying to send files (.log files) contained in a sdcard's folder using Intent. This is the code:
public void sendMail() {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {"name.surname#gmail.com"});
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Log files");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "body");
//has to be an ArrayList
ArrayList<Uri> uris = new ArrayList<Uri>();
//convert from paths to Android friendly Parcelable Uri's
if(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(Environment.getExternalStorageState())){
File root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File logfolder = new File(root, "log");
for (String file : logfolder.list()){
Uri u = Uri.parse(file);
uris.add(u);
}
intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, new String("Send mail...")));
}
}
I choose Gmail from menu. Once Gmail is opend it displays a mail with recipient, subject, text, and attachment files correctly. The mail is sended with no error but i get a status bar notification that says "couldn't show attachment"! In fact recipient receives email correctly but it has no attachment.
I'm not able to figure out what is the problem. Why attachments are not sended? Please help me!!
Ok. i find the solution. Need to replace this:
for (String file : logfolder.list()){
Uri u = Uri.parse(file);
uris.add(u);
}
with this:
for (File file : logfolder.listFiles()){
Uri u = Uri.fromFile(file);
uris.add(u);
}
I am succeeded to attach and send single file using mail Intent. But I cant attach two files, I have used the below code from some of the websites.
final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
File file1 = getApplicationContext().getFileStreamPath("file1.csv");
File file2 = getApplicationContext().getFileStreamPath("file2.csv");
ArrayList<Uri> uris = new ArrayList<Uri>();
uris.add(Uri.fromFile(file1));
uris.add(Uri.fromFile(file2));
emailIntent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
I wrote the files in world_readable mode. But I dont know why I am not able to attach the files. Please give me your suggestion..
