Sending HTML E-mails with Attachment for Android

Question

I'm trying to use this solution but Eclipse still cant resolve "Attachment" and "DataService".

I've imported mail.jar and activation.jar, what could I be doing wrong? I've tried countless other sending email solutions on SO/Google but I couldn't get any of them to work with my attachment and send HTML emails.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you need to construct email to be sent by user manually (open his mail program with new email and attachment) you can use this code:

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:" ));
emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "SUBJECT");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "MESSAGE");
File toAttach = new File("/path/to/your/file");
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(toAttach);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
startActivity(emailIntent);

I wanted to send it programmatically without Intents – MrEngineer13 Feb 09 '12 at 20:46
Sorry, seems I didn't remove all project-specific info from snippet, replace it with `toAttach` – OleGG Jul 23 '16 at 18:56

I used this tutorial and changed

    messageBodyPart.setText(_body);

to

    messageBodyPart.setContent(_body, "text/html");
