I want to attach multiple files to an email.
First I am preparing list of Uri
's.
void prepareListOfUri()
{
listOfUri = new ArrayList<Uri>();
File fileTemp = new File(android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "BuyNowImages");
fileTemp.mkdirs();
for (int i = 0; i < listOfImageView.size(); i++)
{
try
{
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Drawable drawable = listOfImageView.get(i).getDrawable();
Bitmap bitmapPicked = ((BitmapDrawable) drawable).getBitmap();
bitmapPicked.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 75, bos);
byte[] image = bos.toByteArray();
File file = new File(fileTemp, "buynow_product" + i + ".jpg");
file.createNewFile();
// write the bytes in file
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(file);
fo.write(image);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("file://" + file.getAbsolutePath());
listOfUri.add(i, uri);
} catch (Exception e)
{
// TODO: handle exception
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
And for attaching & sending email
void sendMultipleAttachments()
{
try
{
Intent intentEmail = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intentEmail.setType("text/plain");
String[] recipients = new String[] { "" };
intentEmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, recipients);
intentEmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject of email");
intentEmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "body of email");
intentEmail.setType("image/jpeg");
intentEmail.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, listOfUri);
startActivity(intentEmail);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex)
{
Toast.makeText(this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(this, "Exception " + e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
I have checked the list of Uri
's is prepared perfectly by sending the each file individually. But on sending multiple files by using above code I get following Exception
.
Key android.intent.extra.STREAM expected Parcelable but value was a java.util.ArrayList. The default value <null> was returned.
