I am trying to share text and attachment using ACTION_SEND.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"email"});
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "body");
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send..."));
However, in the list appear applications like Hangouts which do not accept attachments.
Can I filter out application which do not accept attachments? Is there a tag or another indicator which can tell me if application accepts attachments or not?
intent.setType("message/rfc822");
Use this.
I have Files in Asset folder , how can i send them using ACTION.SEND intent to Gmail or Other apps exept Facebook (i know how to use JSON)?
i am using this code but it does not work, i have tried so many things , even Attaching File to GMAIL is successful but when sending it , nothing will be post to Gmail account!
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", body);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///android_assets/T1.png");
sendIntent.setType("image/png");
startActivity(sendIntent);
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Email subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml("<b>Bold message body</b>"));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:/sdcard/test.txt"));
emailIntent.setType("application/octet-stream");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send Email"));
I Have sharing image problem with the Gmail Application.
This is my code.
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, getString(R.string.mail_subject));
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, getString(R.string.mail_body));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, getString(R.string.facebook_share_text));
//Download the image first
String location=downloadImage(true);
File root=android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
Log.e("send from where:","file:///"+root.getAbsolutePath()+"/"+location);
//Add attachment
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///"+root.getAbsolutePath()+"/"+location));
emailIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, getString(R.string.share_by)));
Default email app is Working great, Facebook Share is working great, Gmail App seams to work but the attachment is not send, although is displayed as attachment.
Here are the screen shots.
So please help.
String location=downloadImage(true);
File root=android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
Log.e("send from where:","file:///"+root.getAbsolutePath()+"/"+location);
//Add attachment
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///"+
root.getAbsolutePath()+"/"+location));
// replace "Uri.parse" with Uri.fromFile(new File("file:///"+
root.getAbsolutePath()+"/"+location))
emailIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, getString(R.string.share_by)));
This thing actually worked for me. Same thing occurs to me, when I sent the Uri.parse. You can see that the size of the attachment will show 0 kb. But when I change it, it worked just fine.
Share image working on facebook,whatsapp,gmail,bluetooth and messages also
Uri imageUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,imageUri);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent,"Share with.."));
i have to sent image via my application in mail body.
but i am unable to see that image in mail editor. it only shows rectangular box with written "OBJ" inside.
thanx.
I am using the following code.
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
"Product:"+ProductComparisonActivity.s_title);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Title:
"+ProductComparisonActivity.s_title+"\n"+"Description:
"+ProductComparisonActivity.s_des+"\n"+"\n"+"Max Price:
"+ProductComparisonActivity.s_max+"\n"+"Min Price:
"+ProductComparisonActivity.s_min+"\n");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml("<img src="+"\""+ProductComparisonActivity.image_med+";base64,#IMAGEDATA#"+"\">",imgGetter,null));
// emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, ProductComparisonActivity.prod_bmp);
emailIntent.setType("text/html");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
Sorry, I don't think it is possible.
I am trying to launch an Intent to send an email. All of that works, but when I try to actually send the email a couple 'weird' things happen.
here is code
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Photo");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://sdcard/dcim/Camera/filename.jpg"));
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Enjoy the photo");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Email:"));
So if I launch using the Gmail menu context It shows the attachment, lets me type who the email is to, and edit the body & subject. No big deal. I hit send, and it sends. The only thing is the attachment does NOT get sent.
So. I figured, why not try it w/ the Email menu context (for my backup email account on my phone). It shows the attachment, but no text at all in the body or subject. When I send it, the attachment sends correctly. That would lead me to believe something is quite wrong. Do I need a new permission in the Manifest launch an intent to send email w/ attachment? What am I doing wrong?
Also getting the same problem
Code:
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]
{"me#gmail.com"});
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
"Test Subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
"go on read the emails");
Log.v(getClass().getSimpleName(), "sPhotoUri=" + Uri.parse("file:/"+ sPhotoFileName));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:/"+ sPhotoFileName));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
From adb logcat:
V/DumbDumpersMain( 3972): sPhotoUri=file://sdcard/DumbDumpers/DumbDumper.jpg
I/ActivityManager( 56): Starting activity: Intent { action=android.intent.action.CHOOSER comp={android/com.android.internal.app.ChooserActivity} (has extras) }

D/gmail-ls( 120): MailProvider.query: content://gmail-ls/labels/me#gmail.com(null, null)
D/Gmail ( 2507): URI FOUND:file://sdcard/DumbDumpers/DumbDumper.jpg
Looks like the email provider is attaching a 0 length file. When I check the filesystem the file is there and correct. The code which creates the image file is well finished prior to the attempt to email it.
Anyone fixed this without magic reboots (I've already tried that)?
Update
Path for me should have been
file:///sdcard/DumbDumpers/DumbDumper.jpg
you need the extra / as this points to the root directory, i.e.:
file:// + /sdcard/DumbDumpers/DumbDumper.jpg
combined as
file:///sdcard/DumbDumpers/DumbDumper.jpg
In the above snippet you need:
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://"+ sPhotoFileName));
Just a little remark from my side. I've been having the same issues with GMail, but somehow it seems to work when I store the file in question on the SD card first and retrieve it from there, rather than from the assets. So my code is the following:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Title");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Content");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
i.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail"));
and here,
uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(context.getFilesDir(), FILENAME));
does not work, whereas
uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), FILENAME));
does.
Regards,
Michael
instead of "Uri.parse" use "Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"file name"))"
Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() - path to SDcard or any other external storage
It appears that this is actually correct, not sure what was happening, but after a reboot it started working :/
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("message/rfc822");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL , new String[]{"example#mail.com"});
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Data from app");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT , "experience number x");
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "filename.txt"));
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send email..."));
I got the same problem and looked everywhere for a solution. Finally I solved it by finding an open source app that worked out of the box and looked at how they did it. The code is rather long so I won't quote it here but post a link. Look at the sendEmail function in line 449
http://rehearsalassist.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/rehearsalassist/android/trunk/src/urbanstew/RehearsalAssistant/SessionPlayback.java?revision=94&view=markup
I refactored my code to be similar, and now it works. I hope this will help others in the same situation.
From RFC 1738 section 3.10:
A file URL takes the form:
file://<host>/<path>
where host is the fully qualified domain name of the system on
which the path is accessible, and path is a hierarchical
directory path of the form directory/directory/.../name.
So it's file:///path/from/root just like http://host/path/from/root because there's an implicit 'localhost' between the second and third slash. But as mentioned above, use Uri.FromFile() to build it.
I had the same symptoms. In my case it was because I was initially saving the attachment with the permissions MODE_PRIVATE. As soon as I changed it to MODE_WORLD_READABLE it seems GMail was then able to access the file and send the attachment properly.

It's work perfectly for me:
On this solution the Nicolas create one copy inside Cache folder and here gmail intent has access!
http://stephendnicholas.com/archives/974
public void sendMail(String path) {
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
new String[] {AppConstant.server_mail});
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
"IBPS ERROR Mail");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
"This is an autogenerated mail from IBPS app");
emailIntent.setType("image/png");
Uri myUri = Uri.parse("file://" + path);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, myUri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
}
Also try adding Intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION); This helped with my issue.
I have got solution on this after 4 days, Please note following points while giving path to File class in Android(Java):
1) Use path for internal storage String path="/storage/sdcard0/myfile.txt";
2) path="/storage/sdcard1/myfile.txt";
3) mention permissions in Manifest file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
4) First check file length for confirmation.
5) Check paths in ES File Explorer regarding sdcard0 & sdcard1 is this same or else......
e.g.
File file=new File(path);
long=file.length();//in Bytes
Send an email with an attachment: (By docs)
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType(HTTP.PLAIN_TEXT_TYPE);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {"jon#example.com"});
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Email subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Email message text");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
Uri.parse("content://path/to/email/attachment"));
// You can also attach multiple items by passing an ArrayList of Uris
