Android :: Sending An Email With An Attachment From An Application
Nov 10, 2010
I'm creating an app that has an "export" feature which converts the user's data into a CSV file, and allows the user to send it as an attachment to somebody (presumably themselves).
The CSV file is created successfully, but when I try to send the email, I encounter a problem. The device looks like it is going to send the email with the appropriate attachment, but when the email is received... there is no attachment at all...
Here is the code I am using to send the email:

I never got this to work on a real device, got the email but no attachment, also when installing K9 on a emulator and then sending the email I see the mail in the outbox with a size of 0 bytes:
public static void sendFile(Context context) { File exportDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "mydir"); if (!exportDir.exists()) { exportDir.mkdirs(); } String csvFile = exportDir + "/file.csv"; File file = new File(csvFile); if(file.exists()) { Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "CSV file"); sendIntent.setType("text/csv"); //sendIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION); //sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/mydir/file.csv")); sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/ mydir/file.csv")); context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Send CSV file")); } else { Util.displayToast(context, R.string.no_csv_file); } }

I am trying to send an email using native email client on android phone. I have tried following ways to add an attachment to the mail.
Method 1 Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setType("image/jpeg"); sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://sdcard/ abc.jpg"));
Method 2
Sending the image as body content
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "<HTML><BODY><b><IMG SRC= "data:image/jpeg;base64," + <imagepath> + ""alt = "pleaseview this image"/></b></BODY></HTML>");
I can successfully attach the image manually but when I tried to attach and send it programmatically the mail was sent without attachment.

I just copy the code from http://www.openintents.org/en/node/121 to test if I can send .txt or .mp3 file as email attachment, Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); sendIntent.setType("audio/mp3"); sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, "file:///sdcard/mysong.mp3"); sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject"); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Title:"));
But I got an error said that No applications can perform this action. My android sdk is cupcake1.5, and I have already set up my gmail acount in Email application. Anyone knows why? If I set the type as "*/*"(sendIntent.setType("*/ *");), it can launch the Email activity but with no attachment.

I cannot send an email with an attachment using the Gmail app on this phone. I tried to send three different photographs to three different email addresses and it failed every time. Emails without attachments go perfectly every time.

I am trying to create a mail sending application in android, If I use
`Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND`);
This will launch the builtin application of android, I'm trying to send the mail on button click directly without using this app.

I have an issue with my Gmail app where I think no information is being 'sent' from the phone. I receive incoming mails, but no mails are sent. Though I delete incoming mails, the next notification which I receive when I get the next mail will show "17 mails" though I would have deleted the previous 16 emails. When I check email on my browser, all the emails what I had deleted are still there. I have tried a factory reset and I still have a problem.

I try to send numerous emails through the Gmail app and they won't send. They sit in my Outbox and never send. Is anyone else having this issue, or had this issue and care to help how to reslove it? I had the Smoked Glass Rom, but switched back to my old edited rooted nandroid backup, then even tried the OEM version I had backed up, but it still won't send.

So I've never used Gmail before and I'm playing around with it. I've sent two emails and both have been sitting in my outbox for over 5 minutes. Is there normally this long of a delay in sending email with the Gmail app and is there a way to change it.

I have the Samsung Captivate and I'm totally new. I'm having problems opening my email attachments (pdf and xls). I found this thread, but I'm still confused. I can't seem to find "open unknown apps" nor "Unknown Sources" in my Settings.

I want to open a specific type of file that my app can already send over email as an attachment. I need to be able to have the android email app choose my app to download or open that specific file type. I can't figure out how to set up an intent filter that would let me do that though. Anyone know how this is done?

I have built a test android app and signed it successfully and then sent it to someone to test via email. They click on the attachment in the email on their android phone and get a parsing error.

I wanted to know what is the maximum size of the file that we can attach with email in android? Or is the attachment limit completely dependent on E-mail that we have configured?

Had the phone now two weeks. Got the upgrade to 2.2 from sprint succesfully. Enjoying the power of this machine for sure. I lurk here a lot and have learned tons for sure from reading, reading, reading sometimes till the wee hours. Three things I still can't seem to figure out. 1. Opening an attachment in an email: When a pic or doc file comes in I can't seem to view it. I click "view attachment" it shows the name of the file and the size but does not open the file or download it for me to see. What am I doing wrong? Some kind of settings issue maybe? 2. Deleting a file: I downloaded a pdf file off the internet and now I wish to delete it. Menu does not show an option to delete when I am viewing thde file with pdf viewer. Any ideas? 3. Voice email: I love the voice texting, voice emailing, etc but when I open an email to compose new and use the speak option to speak the name of a current contact (who has an email as part of his contact info) it does not try to auto fill that like it would if I hand texted it in. In other words, say I begin a new email and in the TO box I click the microphone and speak john smith. It types his name in but does not recognize him from contacts and fill in his email address like it does if I start to type j o h n s m by hand. I must be doing something wrong here too maybe?

I am using the OEM Android email app. Attacing a picture is no problem. If I try and attach say a video of 5 plus mb it won't attach. I get an error message telling me file is too large to attach.
(I have a ZTE Blade running Android 2.3.7 on a Cyanogenmod ROM 7.10.)
I have two questions.
- what is the maximum permisable file size for attachments;
- can the file size limit be increased in anyway?

what the maximum file size is I can attach to an outgoing email using Gmail? I know Gmail allows 20 megabytes, but is there a size limit I can attach from the Hero? I have had the phone tell me a file is too big to attach, but it was well under 20 megs.

I've hit my first real usability snag with the G1.I tried to send a word processing file to someone via the gmail client on the G1 today, and found that I could select only photos and no other file type for attachments.So I fired up the browser and went to the desktop version of the gmail web site, and in the composition window, the button under the attachments section is captioned "Uploads Disabled" instead of the usual "Browse."Does anyone have a workaround for emailing non-jpeg attachments? This is a feature that I need to use on practically a daily basis. Any developers out there working on an email client, please support this feature.

I started a thread that wound up in the Droid X Troubleshooting forum, but I think this is an Android problem, not a Droid X problem... I'm having read receipt issues with the stock Gmail app (it won't let me send them and it auto-sends them to people who request them of me, without giving me the option of sending or declining). In addition, I'm pretty disappointed with the Gmail app, especially when compared to the Blackberry's handling of Gmail. Blackberry's only gmail issue is when you send an email to someone through gmail you get a copy regardless of whether you want one or not.
I'm really concerned about this and would love to find an alternative -- K9 doesn't appear to be compatible with GMail so even if I wanted to I couldn't use that. Anyone have any suggestions? The web interface, incidentally, doesn't feature read receipts -- already considered logging in to send important emails that way. I'm guessing if there's no alternative then the only alternative is to return to my Blackberry for the time being :-/

In my application, on click of a button, I start an intent to send email. I have set the "To" list, "Subject" and attachment in my coding. Now my problem is that when the email screen is shown, user should not be able modify the email contents nor should he be allowed to remove the attachment. Only he should be able to click on "Send" button.
