View 2 RepliesI have an Android app that saves a text file directly onto the phone, in the app's install directory. I need to allow the user to create a new email, attaching this saved text file. When I start the intent to send the email, everything shows up in Gmail correctly, but the attachment does not get sent. All of my searches on stack overflow seem to only deal with attaching an image file from the SD card. Below is the code that I used. Please let me know if I have done something incorrectly.
File myFile = new File(getFilesDir() + "/" + "someFile.txt");
FileOutputStream stream = null;
if( file != null )
steam = openFileOutput("someFile.txt", Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
stream.write(some_data);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(myFile);
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, email_text);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
file.close();
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Email:"));
I've also tried sendIntent.setType("application/octet-stream"); but that didn't make a difference. I'm at a loss for why the file doesn't attach and get sent.
By default, files saved to the internal storage are private to your application and other applications cannot access them (nor can the user).I am able to see the file "/data/data/package_name/files/ in file explore in DDMS, but when i attached the above file URI using imageUri in email , then i saw that attached file is of 0kb.i have used the default email APIs of Android.Can anyone suggest me ,how to attach a file in email that is private to the application?although i am successful able to save the file in SD card and attaching the file from SD card , this is working fine.But if SD card is not available and saving the file to the internal storage , then how can i attach them in email.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy application stores data locally in the native SQLite db, and I want to allow users to export this data by emailing themself a .csv file. In order to do this I'm generating the .csv from the database and writing it to the SD card, then attaching it to an email:String Builder csv = generateFile();writeFile(csv.toString(),"file.csv");Intent email = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);email.setType ("application /octet -stream"); email.putExtra(android.content.Intent. EXTRA_ STREAM, Uri.parse ("file://sdcard/file.csv")); Which all works great. What I'm wondering, though, is if it is possible to skip the step of writing to SD first, and directly attach the data.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.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.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?

I can choose attach and then picture to pick one from my phone and it works great, but when I try to attach then choose camera, it just sends one that I sent 3 months ago and I can not change it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedTook update and all is well, however i now notice if i want to attach a pic to my text the app says too big to send. I looked in setting seems there is a 1 meg limit. Handcent would autosize the pic so I could send. So my question is can I change the setting in the native app or just revert back to handcent.

Though I've found a lack in my or the phones abilities:
How do I attach a contact to a text message or an email?
I'm using Roadsync email
How I do it now is: Navigating to the contact I would like to forward, edit it, mark and copy the phone number, paste it into a text/email, write the name of the contact and press send.
Features I also would like to see in the future:
Have the Roadsync application use the "Full Name" field instead of the "File As" field, when syncing contacts with MS-Exchange.
I have some reference data in a text file (~5MB) that I want to use with might android application.The file is of the format:
1|a|This is line 1a
1|b|This is line 1b
2|a|This is line 2a
2|b|This is line 2b
2|c|This is line 2c
What I want to know is the most efficient way (less memory, fast, size etc.) to use this file within my application.
a.) Should I save the file as a raw resource and open and read the whole file whenever I need a certain line.
b.) Should I convert the file to XML and use XPath to query the file when ever I need to look up a value
<!--sample XML -->
<data>
<line number="1">
<entry name="a">This is line 1 a</entry>
</line>
</data>
c.) Should I just copy & paste the whole file as a static string array in the application and use that.
[EDIT] I will also need to search this file and jump to arbitrary keywords e.g. "line 1a".

I've tried URLConnection, but it doesn't seam to be working. After some Google searching it appears that URLConnection doesn't always work with some FTP servers. All of the java FTP connection libraries I've found require you to download the file to a local location before reading it. However I would like to have the same functionality as URLConnection in that I can just use the following similar code...

View 7 Replies View RelatedI would be an intermediate level Java programmer (more of a hobbyist). I want to create an app for android that counts stats during a football game. This is roughly the functionality:
1.User presses buttons representing each type of stat e.g. #1 for score, #2 for lost possession of ball etc. (ideally it would be on a touchscreen phone and the user could use a stylus to touch buttons on the screen -by the way, would I have to program differently for a touchscreen? or is that a hardware thing?)
2. Each time a number is pressed, it's written to a text file on the phone or into a database (sqllite or whatever).
3. The text file can then be sent in a message to another android enabled phone.
Is it possible to test the existence of this text file on the android emulator? Is all this possible without being an advance Java programmer? Any guidance would be welcome and I realize this is a broad definition of the program.
where I can find more information about how to parse a text file in Java and extracting a particular String or reg ex out of It.
