I have a problem with my code. The file exists on the right path, like the toast message. And the chooser show me also my file name. But when I choose an email app, I receive an error. One app show "error at the coping of" and the other "file cannot attached".
My function for send email to a mail app
private fun sendEmail() {
try {
fileName = "exported_Data.csv"
val externalStorageDir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS)
val exportDirPath = File(externalStorageDir, "exports")
file = File(exportDirPath, fileName)
if (file.exists()) {
Toast.makeText(this, "file exists", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "file doesn't exists", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}
val uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, "com.example.test_send_email.fileprovider", file)
email = etEmail.text.toString()
subject = etSubject.text.toString()
message = etMessage.text.toString()
val emailIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND)
emailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION)
emailIntent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/octet-stream")
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, arrayOf(email))
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject)
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri)
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message)
emailIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Sending email..."))
}
catch (t: Throwable) {
Toast.makeText(this, "failed: $t", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
//Request failed try again:
}
}
The Snippet from the AndroidManifest:
</activity>
<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="com.example.test_send_email.fileprovider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/file_paths" />
</provider>
and this is the file_paths.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path name="external_files" path="." />
</paths>
I have tried the EXTRA_STREAM with uri.parse(filename), but also the same. I don't if there a rights problem.
UPDATE: Send to gmail works, but not to other email apps.
