Question

My app successfully makes email but when I try to attach an image the code crashes
here is the code snippet

        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        i.setType("message/rfc822");
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL  , new String[]{"email address"});
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject of email");
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT   , "body of email");
    //  i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, R.drawable.pic4);



        try {
            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
        } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
            Toast.makeText(EidCards.this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

the line which is commented makes the code crash
please suggest a way out !

Answer 1

well it was simple 😛

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

        int imageURI=R.drawable.pic4;

        i.setType("message/rfc822");
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL  , new String[]{"email address"});
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject of email");
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT   , "body of email");
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, R.drawable.pic4);

            i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("android.resource://"+getPackageName()+"/"+imageURI));


        try {
            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
        } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
            Toast.makeText(EidCards.this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
