Send email using bitmap object as android app?

Question

I want to send a bitmap as an attachment in the mail. The image is not saved on the SDCARD or anywhere on the device. A bitmap object is created at runtime and should be sent as an attachment.

Answer 1

Then you have to save the Bitmap to the SDCard and then attach it to the email (I think you know how to do this ).

Why is it necessary to save it to an SDCard? This is because the email application will have to read the file that it will be attached; therefore, you must pass the path and file name to the email client. Like any other application, the email client can only access files stored in its own personal directory or SDCard.
