As you guys said I used Intent.ExtraStream ,but the problem is it doesnot throw any errors but ,I am trying to load load local image stored in json and Used the code " String image_path = "all_images/" + species_image + ".jpg"; image_name_array.add(image_path); emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,Uri.parse(image_path));" – Santosh Bhandary May 25 '15 at 11:35
what am I missing guys @bigO any Suggestion on this ?, – Santosh Bhandary May 25 '15 at 11:37
@SantoshBhandary i edited my answer above, your image_path should be wrong. You need to get the image from assets folder if it is in the assets folder. – yrazlik May 26 '15 at 07:16

You can find the answer here.

About your question, you can add the image in the assets folder as an attachment like this:

 Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    emailIntent.setType("application/image");
    emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, "Text text");
    emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"This is email subject");
    emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is extra text");
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///android_asset/allimages/demoImage.jpg"));
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));

Hope this helps.

What should I have to do.I want to send image from assets folder .I am Saving Image is assets Folder as :-"assets/allimages/demoImage.jpg" — Santosh Bhandary, May 26 '15 at 06:43
