Attaching file which is stored in to the application's directory

[Hardik Trivedi]

Hi all,

I want to attach one audio file to android in-built email client application. TO call that intent I am using

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("*/*");
startActivity(emailIntent);

The audio file is stored into applications at

/data/data/<packagename>/files/<filename>

path.

I am storing this file using file descriptor. I have also used

Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE

.

In android's email client it shows option of attachment. But it allows to browse gallery only.

Please help.

What is the "it" in "it allows to browse gallery only"? If you want to use the email client's attachment feature for arbitrary files stored on your device then you need to install an application that allows you to browse all files - something like OI File Manager, or any of a number of file managers available.

If, on the other hand, you're trying to attach the file to the intent you're creating, then something like this should work:

emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///data/data/<packagename>/files/<filename>"))

The type should be "message/rfc822" for sending email, though.

I tried this also. It works .It sends mail with the attachment but it displayes file size 0kb.
I am triying to attach the audio file.

I have done so far is ..

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("*/*");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,Uri.parse(getApplicationContext().getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath()+"/test.3gp"));
startActivity(emailIntent);

I know I just a leap away from my desired output.

Help please
