Trying to Attach a File from Sd Card to Email

Trying to attach a file from SD Card to email

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) }
I/ActivityManager(   56):   Starting activity: Intent { action=android.intent.action.SEND type=jpeg/image flags=0x3000000 comp={com.google.android.gm/com.google.android.gm.ComposeActivityGmail} (has extras) }
I/ActivityManager(   56):   Starting activity: Intent { action=android.intent.action.SEND type=jpeg/image flags=0x2800000 comp={com.google.android.gm/com.google.android.gm.ComposeActivity} (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));

I hope this helps. It took me ages to debug.

Attach multiple files to EMail from SD Card

try with full path like this

uris.add(Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/foldername/certi/qualifications.jpg")));

use this

Intent share = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE); 

instead of

Intent share = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);

try this

 Intent ei = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
            ei.setType("plain/text");
            ei.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {"email id"});
            ei.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "That one works");

            ArrayList<String> fileList = new ArrayList<String>();
            fileList.add(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/foldername/certi/qualifications.jpg");
            fileList.add(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/foldername/certi/certificate.jpg");
            fileList.add(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/foldername/Aa.pdf");

            ArrayList<Uri> uris = new ArrayList<Uri>();
            //convert from paths to Android friendly Parcelable Uri's

            for (int i=0;i<fileList.size();i++)
            {
                File fileIn = new File(fileList.get(i));
                Uri u = Uri.fromFile(fileIn);
                uris.add(u);
            }

            ei.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);
            startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(ei, "Sending multiple attachment"), 12345);

Attachment is not attaching with email

you need to copy your file to a place where the email activity can access it. E.g. to sdcard.

Send email with attachment from internal storage

I'm assuming you are trying to send the file as an email attachment
using intents.

The reason why the file is empty is that the email app does not have
access to the file in /data/data/package_name/myfile_name, due to
Androids security model (the /data/data/package_name directory is
private to your app).

In order to add the file as an attachment, you need to write it to
public storage (such as the SD card) so the email app can access it.

Android attaching multiple files from sdcard to email

After 1 day work finally I am able to attach multiple image files from \sdcard\accident\ folder to email client. For attaching multiple files I had to add the images to the ContentResolver which is responsible for gallery images provider.
Here is the Complete Code ---

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
sendIntent.setType("plain/text");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {"soubhabpathak2010@gmail.com"});
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Accident Capture");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, emailBody);

ArrayList<Uri> uriList = getUriListForImages();
sendIntent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uriList);
Log.d(TAG, "Size of the ArrayList :: " +uriList.size());
FormHolderActivity.this.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Email:"));

So there is no change in the First Section of Code -- But Change is in getUriListForImages() method which is as follows---

    private ArrayList<Uri> getUriListForImages() throws Exception {
                ArrayList<Uri> myList = new ArrayList<Uri>();
                String imageDirectoryPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+ "/accident/";
                File imageDirectory = new File(imageDirectoryPath);
                String[] fileList = imageDirectory.list();
                if(fileList.length != 0) {
                    for(int i=0; i<fileList.length; i++)
                    {   
                        try 
                        {   
                            ContentValues values = new ContentValues(7);
                            values.put(Images.Media.TITLE, fileList[i]);
                            values.put(Images.Media.DISPLAY_NAME, fileList[i]);
                            values.put(Images.Media.DATE_TAKEN, new Date().getTime());
                            values.put(Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
                            values.put(Images.ImageColumns.BUCKET_ID, imageDirectoryPath.hashCode());
                            values.put(Images.ImageColumns.BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME, fileList[i]);
                            values.put("_data", imageDirectoryPath + fileList[i]);
                            ContentResolver contentResolver = getApplicationContext().getContentResolver();
                            Uri uri = contentResolver.insert(Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
                            myList.add(uri);
                        } catch (Exception e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                    }
                }
                return myList;
            } 

This is working fine and I am able to attach multiple image files to emulator default email client and send them successfully .

How to send Zip file from sdcard to mail in android

In your case remove the "+" from Uri string.

P.S. it'll also work without Uri protocol, like (Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/zipname.zip");
