Send Emails With Attachments From Delphi XE5 On Android

Do you need to send emails with attachments over your Android Mail Client using Delphi XE5? Daniel Magin, on his Developer Experts blog, has posted his code on how to do this. Essentially you just need to call Daniel’s “CreateEmail” procedure passing the Recipient, Subject, Content, and Attachment string parameters. If your attachment file does not already exist, Daniel shows how you might create one.

<em>procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);</em>
<em>var</em>
<em>  sl: TStringList;</em>
<em>  sFileName: string;</em>
<em>begin</em>
<em>  sFileName := Androidapi.IOUtils.getExternalFilesDir + PathDelim + 'Test.txt';</em>
<em>  sl := TStringList.Create;</em>
<em>  try</em>
<em>    sl.Add('TestContent');</em>
<em>    sl.SaveToFile(sFileName);</em>
<em>  finally</em>
<em>    FreeAndNil(sl); // Arc eigentlich unnötig</em>
<em>  end;</em>

<em>end;</em>

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);

var

sl: TStringList;

sFileName: string;

begin

sFileName := Androidapi.IOUtils.getExternalFilesDir + PathDelim + 'Test.txt';

sl := TStringList.Create;

try

sl.Add('TestContent');

sl.SaveToFile(sFileName);

finally

FreeAndNil(sl); // Arc eigentlich unnötig

end;
