Error while sending email with attachment in gmail

Question

I have been trying to send an email with attachment. Also looking for only email clients to respond.

I have followed this link Send Email Intent.

Below is my code which does the same

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
// Set MIME type to email message to avoid other non-email applications showing up

        intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
        intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, to);
        intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
        intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);
        intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, attachments);

Doing this, i get the gmail and the android email client in the chooser dialog. When i click on gmail client following error comes. Same is working fine with the android email client.
