            i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL  , new String[]{"MyMail@gmail.com"});
            i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "report gps location");
            i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT   , "body of email");
            i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/folderName/file.txt"));
            try
            {
                 startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
            } 
            catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex)
            {
                 Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

could I see how did u create the file? – eduyayo Feb 23 '15 at 08:12
final File dir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/folderName/" ); – Suhaybovic Feb 23 '15 at 08:19
final File myFile = new File(dir, fileName + ".txt"); – Suhaybovic Feb 23 '15 at 08:19
do u write anything in there? is 'fileName' value 'file'? – eduyayo Feb 23 '15 at 08:20
yes i its a parameter the i pass a value to it – Suhaybovic Feb 23 '15 at 08:23
if the file has contents and nothing else fails... maybe you´re sending the wrong uri. Use a File instead of an string such as this guy: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6078099/android-intent-send-an-email-with-attachment – eduyayo Feb 23 '15 at 08:27
