How to send email with attachment

[Alex]

Hi,

I would like to know how to trigger and open the native email app with attachment.

1. I downloaded the file(s) in mobile local storage
2. Press any button to open native email app
3. The email draft which enclose that file(s)

Thanks.

Hi Alex,

Thank you for contacting Telerik support.

You should try the SocialSharing Plugin from the Verified Plugins Marketplace. Along with sharing to social media, It supports starting a mail app with all the possible mail settings, attachments etc. Once you have installed the plugin in your project and the deviceready event has fired, you can use the following piece of code to start the default email app with the corresponding mail content:

// check for a configured email client
window.plugins.socialsharing.canShareViaEmail([success], [error]);

// share something
window.plugins.socialsharing.shareViaEmail(
  'Message',
  'Subject',
  ['[e-mail]', '[e-mail]'], // TO: must be null or an array
  ['[e-mail]'], // CC: must be null or an array
  null, // BCC: must be null or an array
  ['https://www.google.nl/images/srpr/logo4w.png'], // FILES: null, a string, or an array
  onSuccess, // called when email was sent or canceled, no way to differentiate
  onError // called when something unexpected happened
);

As a file attachment you can also use the device file path string or the base64 string path of the file.

On the SocialSharing Plugin page, you can click "Try Plugin in AppBuilder" and it will load the plugin's sample app where u can test the functionality.

I hope this solution works for you. Let me know in case you experience any problems or have any further questions.
