Question

Its simple but creating problem in my application. I am sending email using Implicit Intent, having an IMAGE attached as an ATTACHMENT. But creating problem with the below code.

File file = new File(path);
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); 
emailIntent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.dir/email");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{""}); 
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"Wedding App"); 
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Sharing image via email."); 
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(file.toString()));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));

Creating crash :

Solution

Try below code.

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("png/image");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {
                "mail--id" });
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment
                .getExternalStorageDirectory(), "/saved_images/MyImage.png"));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
emailIntent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(emailIntent);

and don't forget to add this below permission in manifest file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_INTERNAL_STORAGE" />

OTHER TIPS

Try with this:

Bitmap b =BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.ic_launcher);
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), b, "Title", null);
Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(path);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Select"));
