Sending mail with attachment in android

I am trying to send a with attachment where the attachment file could be any type of file(like txt,image,pdf etc) from a sd card.
I used these
String filelocation="file:/"+attachment_file_path1.getText().toString();
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
// set the type to 'email'
emailIntent.setType("text/plain");
String to[] = {"destination#yahoo.com"};
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, to);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "bodyyyyyyyyy");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(filelocation));
emailIntent .putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "my mail");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent , "Send email..."));
N:B: if i print the attachment_file_path1.getText().toString() it shows like "/storage/sdcard0/myfolder/my.txt"
my email is sent to the destination but my attachment is not sent.
How can i solve the problem??

Change your emailIntent.setType(text/plain) to emailIntent.setType("*/*") for allowing to send any file type.

Path format is :
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));

Email Attachment images cant Send

Written a code for send an email along attachment. Once I sent this email it added a garbage value in attachment.
Attached part was encoded in different format.
Intent i = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("text/html");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {"user_one#example.com", "user_two#example.com" });
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject of email");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://" + sPhotoFileName));
i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(mailBody));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
Expected:
It should a attached images files other than encoded string.
Any help would highly appreciate .
Thanks in advance.

File jpegfile = new File(imageDir, "yourfilename.jpeg");
Uri jpegurl = Uri.fromFile(jpegfile);
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("image/jpeg"); //
intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { "mailid#domain.com" });
intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Mail Subject");
intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_CC, new String[] { "mailid#domain.com" });
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Mail body text");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, jpegurl);

You need to set your intent type to handle images properly, assuming it is a png, as follows.
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND, Uri.fromFile(temp));
emailIntent.setType("image/png");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, getString(R.string.email_share_subject));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, getString(R.string.email_share_message));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(temp));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));

if u Send Jpg image on sen mail...just write i.setType("image/jpeg"); and send any file just write i.setType("image/*");

i've done for send any file from SD card with mail attachment..
Intent sendEmail= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendEmail.setType("rar/image");
sendEmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new
File("/mnt/sdcard/download/abc.rar")));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendEmail, "Email:"));

How to send image file in the body of the email

I know this question is already ask in the stack overflow, and I looked around them but don't get any clue. Actually I have written code for sending an image file as an attachment to my mail and its working fine. The code I used for sending an image file as an attachment is shown below. Can anyone tell me what are the changes I need to do to send the image file in the body of mail? Any clue will be helpful.
Code for sending the image as an attached file
Uri imageUri = Uri.parse("content://" + CachedFileProvider.AUTHORITY + "/" + fileNameArray.get(position));
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("image/png");
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send email"));

only work in device not in android emulator..

Try using the following intent:
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..."));

Showing zero byte pdf file in email attachment in Android

I am sending a pdf file in email attachment, attachment is going successfully in email and it is showing me in email as attachment, but when i download this pdf it having no content i.e. it's size is zero byte.
Am I missing some permission? or Any solution regarding this?
Here is my code
private void emailSend(String emailString, String subject, String pdfPath){
String[] email = { emailString };
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, email);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"MY body");
emailIntent.setType("application/pdf");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(pdfPath));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
}

Finally i got the solution to my problem from this post.
I use
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File(pdfPath)));
instead of
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(pdfPath));
it resolved my issue.
Thanks

Hey... it seems you are trying to attach something that is inside your C: drive. That's not possible :) You can only attach images on the sdcard folder of the handset. For instance:
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
Uri U=Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/logo.png");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,"sivafarshore#yahoo.com");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Test");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is email's message");
emailIntent.setType("image/png");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,U);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Email:"));
To know where the sdcard folder is mounted, you use the Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() method.
