I want to send send several files via eMail. I found this Android multiple email attachments using Intent but it does work and I don't get any error message. It just don't attach the files (I also tried to send just one file but I got the same result).
Did I have overseen something.? Do you have any suggestions?
private static void email (Context context, String emailTo, String emailCC,
String subject, String emailText, List<String> filePaths)
{
//need to "send multiple" to get more than one attachment
final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
emailIntent.setType("text/xml");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
new String[]{emailTo});
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, emailText);
//has to be an ArrayList
ArrayList<Uri> uris = new ArrayList<Uri>();
//convert from paths to Android friendly Parcelable Uri's
for (String file : filePaths)
{
File fileIn = new File(file);
// Uri u = Uri.fromFile(fileIn);
Uri u = Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "blabla.xml"));
Log.v("bla", "filepath: " +u.toString());
uris.add(u);
Uri b = Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "blabla.es"));
uris.add(b);
Log.v("bla", "filepath: " +b.toString());
}
emailIntent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);
context.startActivity(emailIntent);
}

This code is working for me. pdfFiles is of type ArrayList<Uri>
.
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, getText(R.string.share_subject));
CharSequence seq = Html.fromHtml(mOCRText.toString());
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, seq);
shareIntent.setType("application/pdf");
shareIntent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, pdfFiles);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, getText(R.string.share_chooser_title)));
