How do you take a picture and send it to gmail Android client as attachment?

Perhaps this is part of what you need to do

Enable the use of strings when ActivityStarter extra requires a Uri argument

For example, an ActivityStarter Action android.intent.action.SEND would be able to include a file in the send if the file name value paired with the android.intent.extra.STREAM key becomes a Uri object somewhere in StartActivity (or maybe before). This is apparently how Sharing ShareFileWithMessage works. Not having this translation limits the use of ActivityStarter.
