Android Question exposed beyond app through ClipData [solved]

[Didier9]

Getting an error trying to open an email intent with a file attached:

Try
    ei.To.Add( email )
    ei.Body = Starter.CaptureFileName & " is attached."
    ei.Subject = Starter.CaptureFileName
    ei.Attachments.Add( File.Combine( Starter.AppFolder, Starter.CaptureFileName ))
    StartActivity( ei.GetIntent )
Catch
    ToastMessageShow( "Mail app failed", True )
End Try

That was working under Android 9 I believe. Should I add some missing permission?

Thank you Erel, as always to the rescue...

It actually stopped working when I upgraded the TargetSDKVersion to 26, it was working on the Android 9 phone because the TargetSDKVersion was set to a lower value..
