I have a problem with sharing .txt file in android (Kotlin). Sharing simple text isn´t problem. But I need share this file via Bluetooth, Gmail etc. Everytime G-mail returns: "Couldn´t attach file".
my function for sharing:
fun shareFile(file:File){
val sharingIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND)
sharingIntent.setType("text/*")
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(file.absolutePath))
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "share file with:"))
}
I have read all threads in this site but without any effect :-/
Finally I have a solution of my problem, I´m posting it here for anybody with the same problem:
if (file.exists()) {
val uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(
this,
BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID + ".provider",
file
)
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND)
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION)
intent.setType("*/*")
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri)
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent)
}
