Answer 1

You sort of can, but it's ugly and inelegant. I'll work on smoothing this out. The main problem: After the email is sent you end up at a black screen with nothing but your app title at the top.

I'll do a 'hit enter to continue' or something if I have to.

Anyway: First snippet from main class writes the report to sdcard, then calls the activity that will send email.

WriteReportToStorage();

Intent Emailreport = new Intent(bvsactivity.this, Emailreport.class);
startActivityForResult(Emailreport,emailreport_ran);

Next, over in the emailreport class we do the standard email+attachment sending code:

public class Emailreport extends Activity {

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

final Intent email = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        email.setType("text/html

");
            email.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject");
            email.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "body");
            email.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:/" +      Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "//Report.html"));
            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(email, "Email:"));
        }

Lastly, back in your 'main' class, the onactivityresult that deletes the sdcard file:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        // Actions based on which menu item we chose.
        if (requestCode == emailreport_ran) {boolean deleted = reportfile.delete(); emailreport_ran = 1;}
        }
 }

There is no API like was suggested earlier. But... there is a workaround, though. The best way would be to use startActivityForResult(), instead of startActivity() to start the email intent. Then your onActivityResult method should look like this:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
   if (requestCode == YOUR_REQUEST_CODE){
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null){
       //if data is not null, the user has clicked the send button
       //in his email application
     }

}

}

Remember that if you call startActivityForResult() from the fragment, always use your activity context, like context.startActivityForResult() and the onActivityResult method should be overridden in your host activity.

You can't, this is not part of the API. It returns once you have pressed send button even if it is not sent
