File scope , Proberly asked before

[Sten_Jensby]

Have now been struggeling for a while.
Have app, to take a picture and send to email when send.
But no mater how, i allways gets error.
By Campaigion
Show file Send
App : X Fail
Asset : X Fail
Cache : X Fail
Legacy : X Fail
Private : X Fail
Shared : X Fail

When build version
Show Send
App : X Fail
Asset : CRASH
Cache : CRASH
Legacy : X Fail.
Private : CRASH
Shared : X Fail.

Here is code for it all.

I use Taifun's Mail extensions.
App is only for my own use, so all suggestion is welcome

Android version ?
How tested: companion / compiled / both ?
If companion, up to date (2.66 at time of writing)

Also your blocks are unreadable, use right click on blocks editor and download as image. Do not resize.

[Sten_Jensby]

Android 13
As you can see, tested by companion and by build.
Show Send.
Ok Fail. On every filescope from App-Asset-Cache-Legacy-Private-Shared.
12 version is tested.
When presse on camera button. in some build version the app crashes.
Give you a better "Test result."

And some new blocks. Only the left side should be usefull.

[TIMAI2]

You have a problem with your file paths...

/storage/emulated/0/[file:/storage/emulated/0/.....

is not a path to a file

This should work with filescope = App, given the image is in your ASD
Make sure it is set in Screen1 and File component....

You may need to ask for READ permission ?

[Sten_Jensby]

Ok, maybe a file problem, but do not see how to fix it.
I use camera component , and sets picture components image to picture taken, ( Works ok)
When i will send the pictures/text, it just takes the "files" from the list created when each picture was taken.

I have set filescope = APP , build the app, and when i pressed button to take picture, it ask for permission to acces the files.

But still error when sending mail.

Wrong, have been testing something, back again with this

Next testing ,

App on phone get this error.

But the DO It gives another path,

Missing // after file:/

I have never used the TaifunMail extension and do not know it. We need to know which (file) path "attachments" requires:

• full path
• absolute path
• relative path
• ASD-redirected path (like the File component; so just the filename for the root directory of the ASD).

@Sten_Jensby

error when sending mail

You are using a list as attachment, however according to the documentation App Inventor Extensions: Mail | Pura Vida Apps

Also you can add several attachments, use a comma as delimiter.

Which means, add a list to csv row block to convert your list to a csv row....

See also the example app how to use the extension correctly

@Taifun

list to csv row

Thanx, i have used LIST FROM CSV ROW. instead...
Now it works,

[Kevinkun]

so it's List to csv row or List from csv row?

[Sten_Jensby]

@Kevinkun

List to csv row

That works.

[Anke]

@Taifun

Which means, add a list to csv row block to convert your list to a csv row....

So "attachments" should actually NOT accept a list (just a string).
