Unable to receive attached file in mail

I am developing an app which shares APK file. For that I have used Intent Chooser to display related/supported applications. In that if I select Gmail app now able to see attached file while composing & sent, but not received any attachment. But when I transfer via Bluetooth it is working fine. I don't know what is wrong with my code

My implementation like, sending Byte content from URI. Please help me out from this.

private void sendApk(String apkSourcePath2) {

     Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    sharingIntent.setType("application/*");

    String shareBody = "Please find the attached APK file...";
    String subject = "From EasyShare";
    sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
    sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File(apkSourcePath2)));
    sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareBody);
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Send/Share via.."));

}

Here apkSourcepath2 is pointing to Packageinfo.sourceDir

And also my question is, does Gmail cannot access file from data/app folder?

Any suggestions to implement this module????

All depends on the value of apkSourcePath2.

If it is inside your app sandbox, it can't be accessed by any other app. You could use a content provider for this.
