I am also not getting the attachment.. it show an icon of a "pdf" in the window it opens. this is what i am doing.., it does send the email without an attachment fine.

var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas')

var imageData = canvas.toDataURL()
console.log(imageData);

window.plugin.email.open({
                         to:      ['blahblah@gmail.com'],
                         attachments: [imageData],
                         subject: 'SnapShot',
                         body:    'How are you? Nice greetings from Leipzig'
                         });

Hello
Is there any one who can help me on this. ? i tried to add html in the body with
' where img is a base64 string. it showing me good on the email composer in Ipad but at receiving end nothing is there.??

The pdf icon in the mail composer doesn't mean, that the attachment is actually working! iOS seems to add an empty attachment as long as there is a file name with an extension it knows. If you are using an image or a pdf there should be an actual preview of it if it's working.

I've been trying to get it to work on Android and it appears to be a problem with the storage path. I've replaced a couple of lines in EmailComposer.java with a path that works on my test phone and verified that it does work but this is not a final solution since I'm creating the folder manually and I'm not sure this will work on other phones. This is my first try at modifying an Cordova plugin so I will keep working on it and if I come up with a good solution I will post it. I'm going to look at the iOS side also.

    } else if (path.startsWith("base64:")) {
        String resName = path.substring(path.indexOf(":") + 1, path.indexOf("//"));
        String resData = path.substring(path.indexOf("//") +2);

    byte[] bytes   = Base64.decode(resData, 0);

        //String storage = this.cordova.getActivity().getCacheDir() + "/email_composer";
    String storage = "/storage/sdcard0/Android/data/de.appplant.cordova.plugin/email_composer";

        File file = new File(storage, resName);

    new File(storage).mkdir();

        try {
            FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(file, true);

            os.write(bytes);
            os.flush();
            os.close();
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        //return Uri.parse("content://" + AttachmentProvider.AUTHORITY + "/" + resName);
    return Uri.parse("file://" + storage + "/" + resName);
    }

Let me be a little more specific. The code

this.cordova.getActivity().getCacheDir() + "/email_composer"

returns the following for my app (PolicyHolderServices)

/data/data/com.fmins.policyholderservices/cache/email_composer

and

"content://" + AttachmentProvider.AUTHORITY

returns

content://de.appplant.cordova.plugin.emailcomposer.attachmentprovider

So there seems to be a mismatch between the path being used to create the temporary file for the attachment and the path being used to retrieve it.

Here's what I'm going with for Android. It requires external storage but so do some of the other options in the email composer. I borrowed a little bit from the relative section and also from the following SO article. Now onto iOS.

    } else if (path.startsWith("base64:")) {
        String resName = path.substring(path.indexOf(":") + 1, path.indexOf("//"));
        String resData = path.substring(path.indexOf("//") +2);

        byte[] bytes   = Base64.decode(resData, 0);

        File imageDir = new File(
            Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),   
            "/Android/data/" + this.cordova.getActivity().getPackageName() + "/email_composer");

        if (!imageDir.exists()) {
            imageDir.mkdirs();
        }

        File file = new File(imageDir, resName);

        try {
            FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(file, true);

            os.write(bytes);
            os.flush();
            os.close();
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return Uri.fromFile(file);
    }

[katzer]

Hello,

both relative:// and base64:// had an error, which have been fixed now (missing permission and wrong dir path).
