Answer 2

I found the answer!!! Took a while, but at least it works now:

            try {
            InputStream attachment = getContentResolver()
                    .openInputStream(getIntent().getData());
            savedFile = new File(Environment
                    .getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath(),
                    "temp" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".psz");
            FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream(savedFile);
            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            int len1 = 0;
            while ((len1 = attachment.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                f.write(buffer);
            }
            f.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }

I just used this code to download the attachment and now everything works perfectly =D
