email - How to attach two or more files to SEND action on Android

Question

I would send two or more files using ACTION_SEND on Android as an excerpt below:

Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND); emailIntent.setType("plain/text"); emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "pokus"); emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "t" ); emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,

emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/file1.jpg"));

emailIntent.putExtra(**android.content.Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/file2.jpg"));

startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));

But that code does not work with GMail, it attaches only the last file. Please help Thanks

I believe it's impossible using GMail.

If you want to programmaticly send email manually (skipping the GMail client), then you could attach as many items as you want, using android-javamailer:
