Hello Bob,
Thanks for your suggestion. I have two questions to you..
How do I attach with EXTRA_STREAM in that case while I put the file
with Uri.fromFile().
File dirFile = getFilesDir();
File zibraFile = new File(dirFile,"zibra.csv");
Uri zibraUri = Uri.fromFile(zibraFile);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, zibraUri);
But the email does not carry any attachement. Any solution
please
Please provide any solution as I am unable to attach the file from
internal directory.
