Question by valdelievre · Dec 11, 2012 at 08:26 PM · androidemailshare

Email attachment on Android

Hello,

I was wondering how the game Hill Climb Racing managed to attach a screenshot when sharing with gmail.

Basically, If i click on Share on the image below, i will have several choices to share my image to ( It writes, "Share Using ..." )

If i choose gmail, i will have a generic text + screenshot attached.

I have tried to achieve the same thing by using the following :

 Application.CaptureScreenshot(Application.persistentDataPath + "/Screenshot.png");
 Application.OpenURL("mailto:?subject=subject&body=bodytest"&attachment=" +Application.persistentDataPath + "/Screenshot.png");
                                  

When testing the line above, the OS prompts me with :

"Complete action using"

Compose (Email)

Compose (Gmail)

When hitting gmail, my body + subject is correct. However, no screenshot is attached

It looks like Hill Climb racing uses a different method since it says "Share using" even though on my side it says "Complete action using"

Do you have an idea ?

Ive tried this also and I believe android security prevents you from adding attachments.

It works fine with Hill Climb Racing though

I think you can do it by doing it by a web server...like in this post http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/194399/send-email-from-unity.html

You can use Application.OpenURL with mailto: scheme for normal mail content.

There is no direct way to send html text and attachments. You need to use a plugin.

Cross Platform Native Plugins allows share via

  • E-Mail

  • SMS

  • Facebook

  • Twitter

  • Whats-App

It supports iOS and Android platforms with a unified interface.

You can send HTML text as body here and supports attachments. The plugin is free to use for sharing feature.
