I am using Mandrill App to send emails from my android application. I am trying to send emails with attachment. But I am unable to send attachments. As per requirement I have converted image file and text file into base64 string and passed to json object of mandrill api. But still mail goes without attachment. I referred this link to convert image file to into base64. I also want to attach Doc, Ppts, Pdfs to attachment. If anyone knows please guide me.

Looking at this link you will need to fill in the the Attachments Array. Here is the relevant JSON part:

"attachments": [
        {
            "type": "text/plain",
            "name": "myfile.txt",
            "content": "ZXhhbXBsZSBmaWxl"
        }
    ],

Other services like SparkPost also provide an easy way to do this too. The reason I bring up SparkPost is this post from Mandrill CEO: http://blog.mailchimp.com/important-changes-to-mandrill/

  • Actually I I have added all the contents of this array. Now Image file is going as attachment but it is received as damaged image. – Sanket Ranaware Feb 27 '16 at 09:23
  • If you base64 decode the `content` field is it a good file. Try on the output and on the receive side. Beware not to take binary through UTF8 or something like that . You will want the raw bytes. – Yepher Feb 28 '16 at 14:34
  • Actually I am not decoding it at receiver side, Receiver side is any mail client or site like gmail, yahoo or outlook @Yepher – Sanket Ranaware Feb 29 '16 at 10:22
  • Sorry, I was just thinking about a test too see where it goes wrong. My suspicion is that the sending side base64 encoding it not correct. At least that is where I've got bit before. – Yepher Feb 29 '16 at 13:43
