Add a String Attachment to an Email

See more Email Object Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email object's AddStringAttachment method, which adds an attachment directly from an in-memory string — no file needs to exist on disk. The 1st argument is the filename that is written into the MIME (it is not a path to a file that is read), and the 2nd argument is the text that becomes the attachment's body. In this example we build a simple email, attach a small CSV file named people.csv straight from a string, and then print the resulting MIME so you can see the attachment embedded in the message.

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import com.chilkatsoft.*;

import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    //  This example demonstrates the Email object's AddStringAttachment method.
    //  AddStringAttachment adds an attachment directly from an in-memory string.
    //  The 1st argument is the filename to be placed in the MIME (not a file to be read).
    //  The 2nd argument is the text content that becomes the attachment body.

    CkEmail email = new CkEmail();

    email.put_Subject("Email with a string attachment");
    email.put_Body("See the attached CSV file.");
    email.put_From("mary@example.com");
    email.AddTo("Joe","joe@example.com");

    //  The text content of the attachment.
    String csvData = "id,name\r\n1,Alice\r\n2,Bob\r\n";

    //  Add the string as an attachment named "people.csv".
    email.AddStringAttachment("people.csv",csvData);

    //  Show the full MIME of the email, which now includes the attachment.
    Log.i(TAG, email.getMime());

  }

  static {
      System.loadLibrary("chilkat");

      // Note: If the incorrect library name is passed to System.loadLibrary,
      // then you will see the following error message at application startup:
      //"The application <your-application-name> has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
