    Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);           
                emailIntent .setType("plain/text");             
                emailIntent .putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"[email protected]"});             
                emailIntent .putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Attendence Report");             
                emailIntent .putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(filelocation));
