I am trying to attach a pdf
file in gmail app. I have read this and this (applied solution) I am trying as;
public static void attachFile(Context ctx) {
String TAG = "Attach";
File documentsPath = new File(ctx.getFilesDir(), "documents");
Log.i(TAG,"documentsAbsolutePath Output");
Log.i(TAG, documentsPath.getAbsolutePath().toString());
File file = new File(documentsPath, "sample.pdf");
if ( file.exists() ) {
Toast.makeText(ctx, "Exits", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else{
Toast.makeText(ctx, "Not Exist", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
Log.i(TAG,"file Output");
Log.i(TAG, file.toString());
Log.i(TAG, String.valueOf(file.length()));
Uri uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(ctx, "com.example.fyp_awais.attachfiletest2.fileprovider", file);
Log.i(TAG,"URI Output");
Log.i(TAG,uri.toString());
Intent intent = ShareCompat.IntentBuilder.from((Activity) ctx)
.setType("application/pdf")
.setStream(uri)
.setChooserTitle("Choose bar")
.createChooserIntent()
.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
ctx.startActivity(intent);
}
Outputs
documentsAbsolutePath Output
/data/data/com.example.fyp_awais.attachfiletest2/files/documents
file Output
/data/data/com.example.fyp_awais.attachfiletest2/files/documents/sample.pdf

URI Output
content://com.example.fyp_awais.attachfiletest2.fileprovider/pdf_folder/sample.pdf
Menifest

android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"

FilePath.xml

A pdf file is saved in Galaxy Core Prime\Phone\documents
. (file size: 53.7KB)
But it gives
Cannot attach empty file.
I am confused with folder-name in this line <files-path name="pdf_folder" path="documents/"/>
. The file is in the \Phone\documents
. Then why folder name?
Edit 1
Tried to replace setType(application/pdf)
with setType("message/rfc822")
But did not work. Any help?
Send the file in URI format like this:
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
emailIntent.setType("application/image");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, TO);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_CC, CC);
ArrayList<Uri> uris = new ArrayList<>();
//convert from paths to Android friendly Parcelable Uri's
uris.add(frontImageUri);
uris.add(backImageUri);
emailIntent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
String fileNameStor_zip = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + fileName + ".zip";
String[] path = { your 1st pdf File Path, your 2nd pdf File Path};
Compress compress = new Compress(path, fileNameStor_zip);
compress.zip();
URI = Uri.parse("file://" + fileNameStor_zip);
Provide your Gmail Intent
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, URI);
