I want to send the captured image as an attachment to my mail

Question

The problem sending the email from the gallery is working fine but not the captured image. I tried different codes some of them are commented here. Or just explain and teach me how it works.

This app takes date from the user and then send it using an email to a predefined email address, but the problem is the image can be attached in two ways one is getting the image from the gallery which is already captured and the other option is getting the user to capture an image and then uploading it and then sending it to the email as attachment.

This the second Activity in my App

And my xml file is ;

Answer 1

Intent iShare;
iShare = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
iShare.setType("image/png");
iShare.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://"+fn.getPath()));
iShare.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(new StringBuilder()
        .append("<p><b>Path</b></p>").append("<small><p>"+sb+"</p></small>").toString()));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(iShare, "Share"));

AFAIK you have to send a captured image as attachment in email then you can try above code.
