Android :: Attach Temporary - Generated Image To Email?
Aug 25, 2010
I have a programmatically generated image that I want to send as an attachment via the ACTION_SEND and EXTRA_STREAM method. But how do i do this? My first attempt (writing to my context.getCacheDir() based file path) appeared to work in the Gmail preview (no image preview, but attached file name and icon was visible), but the attachment never arrived on the recipient side. I guess this has something to do with permissions on the generated file, but how to avoid this? Do I need to set more permissive settings on these generated files (so that the Gmail activity can access)? Is that even possible for the app's cache folder?
Is there another file location that would be more suitable to write my files to? I considered the downloads folder, but think it would be an awkward location for something that only needs to exist until it has been emailed. I have even tried encoding my image purely in a data:image/png;base64,ABCD... style URI. This, too, showed up in Gmail preview (attachment icon, but no file name), but did not result in a recipient-side attachment. Has anyone been able to attach a one-shot generated image to an email intent by any means? What options may I have overlooked?

I am generating an email in my app in which I include a long URL. The entire URL appears in the email but the clickable link portion of it consists of only the first 90 characters. Why does this happen and how can I prevent it?

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.

My 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.

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.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?

When I attempt to attach something to an email (using Gmail) I only get the option to attach photos. Can anyone else attach video or is it just me? However, when texting I get the option to attach video or photo.

Liking my new phone and feeling quite happy about the small format.
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've searched and couldn't come up with an answer. I currently have a Droid Eris so I'm running 1.5. Is it possible to add an image to an email signature? (I've already edited my signature I would just like to add a logo) If it is not possible in 1.5, is it possible in newer version of Android? (2.0?)

I'm wondering if there's any sort of temporary mute app. I'm oftentimes in meetings or on a phone call on speaker phone in my office, and my cell phone starts making all sorts of notification noises, so I'll turn the sound off. Problem is, I forget to turn the sound back on. I'd love an app that lets me tell it to go into silent mode, but come out in, say, 15 minutes. Does it exist?

I created an android application. This application calls C native library which requires save a temporary file to /cache. However the permission for /cache is wrxwrx--- with uid=cache and gid=system. so the application is not allowed to save a file to /cache.

A friend got an error on his HTC Desire trying to install an app. He uses eclipse for installing.
The error from LogCat: E/PackageInstallationReceiver( 244): Remove /data/local/tmp/my.package.apk Fail! W/System.err( 244): java.io.IOException: Error running exec().
I used adb shell to see whats inside this tmp folder. And there was no such apk. So I renamed another, but the error stays which means, that he never really tries to delete this apk, right? The same code runs fine on the emulator and my Nexus One.

For an example of what I'm looking for, hit the Home button while you're composing a message in the Gmail app. A little message will pop up at the bottom of the screen for a moment that says "Message saved as Draft."
I can't figure out how to display one of those messages myself, and I'm not sure what to call it so I can't do a search for it.

I am writing a content provider to access data in a zip file. The plan is to extract data as needed to temporary files since the API Requires a file descriptor (as opposed to an input stream). The question is where can an Android app write files - we can assume these are small and regularly purged. I do not believe the /sdcard is required.

I'm currently trying to create a buffer for my application which needs to be big!I mean at least 1MB but most likely to be 4MB.Now definitely bad idea to actually allocate this much on a byte array in memory.So the options are put all the data in a file. So question is where do I place this temp file?
Option 1: Store to sdcard. Might be slow and not such a good idea for continuous read/writes?
Option 2: Store to in the apps cache.I read somewhere this is fast for read/ writes. But also read before issues cleaning up the cache after use? I guess I should as if I be able to create a file in cache and discard it when I don't need it? Any tips/look outs from using this methods would be greatly appreciated!

I am trying to launch an email intent with an attached jpg. I did:
Intent intent4 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,
Uri.fromParts("mailto", "testemail@gmail.com", null));
startActivity(intent4);
this launches the email activity.
But when I try to add DataAndType (my jpeg attachment). It fails with
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { action=android.intent.action.SENDTO data=file:///data/data/com.mycompany.mypackage/files/temp-picture type=JPEG
Intent intent4 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,
Uri.fromParts("mailto", "testemail@gmail.com", null));
intent4.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("file://"+ mTempFilePath),
Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG.name());
startActivity(intent4);
