Embedding image in email in Android

Question

Is it possible to programatically embed an image in the body of an email sent by the Mail app in Android?

Can I use the ACTION_SEND intent to do this, or should I c

Answer 1

If your image (or file) is in the SD card, you can proceed as follow:

Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/your_path_in_the_sd_card/your_image.png"));
startActivity(shareIntent);

If you don't want to send image, you need to modify the MIME in the "setType()" method.
