I'm using ACTION_SEND to send a file from the content provider in my app as an email attachment in GMail. This works great, except that I can't programmatically specify the filename of the attachment. When my URI is
content://my.documentcontentprovider/321
The filename of the attachment is 321. 321 is the document id.
I looked at the spec for Intent, and don't see an EXTRA_ key for specifying the filename. The only workaround I could come up with is to append the filename to my URI:
content://my.documentcontentprovider/321/photo.jpg
It should work, but it seems a little hacky. If someone has a better idea, please chime in. Here's my code, in case it's useful:
Intent sendDoc = new Intent();
sendDoc.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendDoc.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, doc.name);
sendDoc.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, DocumentContentProvider.getUri(doc.id));
sendDoc.setType(doc.contentType);
this.foldersFragment.startActivity(sendDoc);
