How to send screenshot via email intent?

Question

I want to send screenshot via email. Below is how i manage to take screenshot and save in directory. What i want is to not save but send directly. How can i achieve it?

public Bitmap takeScreenshot() {

    View rootView = getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(R.id.relative);
    rootView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);

    return rootView.getDrawingCache();

}

public void saveBitmap(Bitmap bitmap) {

    String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
    File newDir = new File(root + "/MapCards");
    newDir.mkdirs();
    Random gen = new Random();
    int n = 10000;
    n = gen.nextInt(n);
    String fotoname = "MapCard-" + n + ".jpg";
    File file = new File(newDir, fotoname);
    if (file.exists())
        file.delete();
    try {
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
        bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
        fos.flush();
        fos.close();
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                "Saved in folder: 'MapCards'", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        Log.e("GREC", e.getMessage(), e);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.e("GREC", e.getMessage(), e);
    }

}

Maybe i need to add something like below, after i take the screenshot but i am not sure how to configure it together.

public void send() {
    String temp = getIntent().getStringExtra("picture_path");
    URI = Uri.parse("file://" + temp);
    final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(
            android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    emailIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
    if (URI != null) {
        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, URI);
    }
    this.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent,
            "Send email using.."));

}

Thank you for help.

Its will just return your screen shot image file. add it to your code. picture_path must be full path of your image file from sdcard. getTempPictureFile(){ String temp = getIntent().getStringExtra("picture_path");return new File(temp); } – Uday Sravan K Aug 12 '14 at 08:38
