Android Question [Solved] [Class] Send E-Mail with FileproviderURI

fchirico · May 31, 2020

Hello, According to the post https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/class-send-e-mail-with-fileprovideruri.89217/

I would like to send the email in HTML format.
I modified where it says EmailIntent.SetType ("text / plain") by EmailIntent.SetType ("text / html").
But it is not interpreting the HTML code, it sends the email literally, that is, the html code appears in the body of the email.

What am I doing wrong?

This is the HTML code:

B4X:

Sub EnviarCorreoDeConfirmacion
    Dim cEncab As String
    Dim cBody  = " " As String
    Dim cBody2  = " " As String
    Dim i As Int

    cEncab = $"

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="es" xml:lang="es">

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    <title>Arimex Importadora S.A.</title>
    </head>
    
    <body>

    <h1>Su pedido: ${cNumPed} Sucursal: ${Main.cSucursal} </h1>

    <h1>Cliente: ${lbl_NomCli.text}  -  ${lbl_CodCli.text}/${lbl_LojaCli.text}  </h1>
    <h1>Vendedor:  ${lbl_CodVen.text} - Usuario GA.MA Tools:  ${Main.cUSR_usuario} </h1>

        <th scope="col">Unidades</th>
        <th scope="col">Dto.de Linea</th>
      </tr>"$

    For i = 0 To nIndiceLineaPedido - 1
        If User4(i).LinPed_Cantidad > 0 Then
            cBody = cBody & $"<tr>
            <td>${User4(i).LinPed_CodProd}</td>
            <td>${User4(i).LinPed_DescriPro}</td>
            <td>${User4(i).LinPed_Precio}</td>
            <td>${User4(i).LinPed_Cantidad}</td>
            <td>${User4(i).LinPed_DtoLin} </td>
            </tr>"$
        End If
    Next

    cEncab = cEncab & cBody & $"</table>     </body>     </html>"$
    Main.sendmail.Send(Main.cUSR_email,File.DirInternal, cEncab, "GA.MA Tools - Pedido generado: " & cNumPed & " (" & Main.cEntorno & ")", "")
    
End Sub

B4X:

Private Sub SendEmail (SendTo As String, SendBody As String, SendSub As String, SendAtt As String)
    Dim EmailIntent As Intent
   
    LogColor("Send Att: " & SendAtt, Colors.Red)

    EmailIntent.Initialize(EmailIntent.ACTION_SEND, SendTo)
    EmailIntent.putExtra("android.intent.extra.SUBJECT", SendSub)
    EmailIntent.putExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT", SendBody)
    'EmailIntent.SetType("text/plain") 'it is not related to the file itself.
    EmailIntent.SetType("text/html") 'it is not related to the file itself.
    EmailIntent.Flags = 1
    If SendAtt <> "" Then
        EmailIntent.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.STREAM", CreateFileProviderUri(shared, GlobFileName))
    End If

    StartActivity (EmailIntent)
End Sub

I have added the following lines of code to generate the mail in HMTL format:

B4X:

Sub btnSendEmail_Click
    Dim FileName As String = "b4a.png"
    'copy the shared file to the shared folder
    File.Copy(File.DirAssets, FileName, Starter.Provider.SharedFolder, FileName)
    Dim email As Email
    email.To.Add("[email protected]")
    email.Subject = "subject"
    email.Attachments.Add(Starter.Provider.GetFileUri(FileName))
    email.Attachments.Add(Starter.Provider.GetFileUri(FileName)) 'second attachment
    Dim in As Intent = email.GetIntent
    in.SetType("text/html") ' ===============>   ADDED
    in.putExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT", "<b>Prueba HTML</b>") ' ======> ADDED
    in.Flags = 1 'FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION
    StartActivity(in)
End Sub

But it does not work. What it does is this, it displays the body text of the mail LITERALLY (view image attached)

Try to use email.GetHtmlIntent and remove the two following lines.

It worked! I did it like you said, I added the indicated lines

B4X:

Sub btnSendEmail_Click
    Dim FileName As String = "b4a.png"
    'copy the shared file to the shared folder
    File.Copy(File.DirAssets, FileName, Starter.Provider.SharedFolder, FileName)
    Dim email As Email
    email.To.Add("[email protected]")
    email.Subject = "subject"
    email.Body = "<b>Prueba HTML</b>" '=========>  ADDED
    email.Attachments.Add(Starter.Provider.GetFileUri(FileName))
    email.Attachments.Add(Starter.Provider.GetFileUri(FileName)) 'second attachment
    'Dim in As Intent = email.GetIntent
    Dim in As Intent = email.GetHtmlIntent '=========>  ADDED
    in.Flags = 1 'FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION
    StartActivity(in)
End Sub

Thank You!
