Surprisingly, this topic seems to be still in it's infancy. There are very
few posts, and those who have given it a shot have given up since it didn't
work.
I need to attach multiple files of different types in a single e-mail. File
types could be image, audio, video, zip, doc, and so on.
I did give it a shot.
// List<String> filePaths;
Intent emailIntent = new
Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
// I tried both the following lines
emailIntent.setType("*/*");
emailIntent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.dir/email");
// 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);
uris.add(u);
}
emailIntent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "blah blah"));
Overall, it looks like it's working. The 'createChooser' gives me a list of
available e-mail apps.
If I choose "GMail" app from the list, in the 'compose' activity, I can
see the attachments also. I then hit 'send'.
But when I receive the mail, I find no attachments.
If I see the "sent" folders of Gmail, this email doesn't have attachments.
So what do I need to do?
