Gmail crashes when 'am start -a android.intent.action.SEND' with EXTRA_STREAM

[John Michelau]

I'm not sure what I'm missing. Gmail can't seem to understand the URI
string that I'm sending.

am start -D -a android.intent.action.SEND -t "image/jpeg" -e
"android.intent.extra.STREAM" "file://sdcard/download/
downloadfile-1.jpeg"
Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.SEND typ=image/jpeg (has
extras) }

After issuing the command, the chooser comes up and I select GMail.
When I select GMail, it gets a Force Close. Here's the relevant log
statements (AFAIK).

You are giving a string for the STREAM parameter, but this should be a Uri.  There is no facility with the am command to create a Uri argument.

I'm trying to extend the adb bugreport capability in our device so
that it pops up the Gmail Composer with the bugreport attached when
the user presses the special key-sequence (Left Shift + Menu) to
generate the bugreport to the sdcard.

Perhaps I could write a simple app that handles a custom intent and
essentially forwards it as the SEND intent with a proper URI based on
the string received?

Sure, you could write an app to do that.
