Android Question Import CSV from email to app

[maleche]

I have an app that reads comma separated values (CSV). I would like the app to import a CSV from an email directly without having to save the file, then copy it to the app file folder.
I looked through the forum and could not find code that could do this...or did I miss it?
I would like a function that when a button is pressed, it will search the email (Inbox) folder and import the recent "NewData.csv".
thank you in advance!

not possible, first you need to download the file and then import it.

You cannot access stored emails. However you can register your app to support viewing CSV files. The user will then be able to click on the CSV file in the mail and open it with your app.

Too bad Firebase will not work with cellular
I was hoping that one of the schemas (see attached picture) would be an option.
We don't want the Emergency Response Team (ERT) member to be distracted with opening an email to plot all EMT locations.
Looks like SMS might be the last option?

Why do you think that Firebase doesn't work with cellular connection?

I suspect it was the comment you made in this thread -> Sending GPS data to client via cellular.

That's why I asked for clarification, because I thought it might not be clear...
