Xamarin.Plugins.Messaging unable to send email with attachment
0
I'm using the Xamarin.Plugins.Messaging nuget to try and send an email with an attachment. I'm getting the error
Java.Lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to find configured root that contains /data/data/com./files/Summary.pdf
I've set up the Android manifest according to the instructions
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:largeHeap="@bool/largeheap" android:label="<MyAppName>">
<provider android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="com.<MyAppName>.fileprovider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS" android:resource="@xml/file_paths"></meta-data>
</provider>
and added the file_paths.xml file set to Android Resource
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path name="external_files" path="." />
</paths>
Here is the code I'm using to save a byte array as a file and attach it to an email
var fileResult = await dal.getdoc(id); //REST call
File.WriteAllBytes(Path.Combine(Xamarin.Essentials.FileSystem.AppDataDirectory, "BuyerSummary.pdf"), fileResult);
string fileName = Path.Combine(Xamarin.Essentials.FileSystem.AppDataDirectory, "BuyerSummary.pdf");
var email = new EmailMessageBuilder()
.Subject("Buyer Netsheet summary")
.Body(textSummary)
.WithAttachment(fileName, "application/pdf")
.Build();
emailMessenger.SendEmail(email);

Did you check the file exists in the folder /data/data/com./files/Summary.pdf using File.Exists(path) ?

Your error log is displayed "Summary.pdf" , but in your code the file name is "BuyerSummary.pdf" .

That's a typo when posting the question. The file names are the same

Ok, I solved this mostly now, using <cache-path name="cache" path="/" /> in the file_paths.xml file together with var folder = Xamarin.Essentials.FileSystem.CacheDirectory; File.WriteAllBytes(Path.Combine(folder, "BuyerSummary.pdf"), fileResult); string fileName = Path.Combine(folder, "BuyerSummary.pdf");
