when I try to attach a file to an email, I get a java.io.FileNotFoundException: No content provider logcat output. If anyone could tell me what I am doing wrong or what I should do instead, that would be great.Thank you.

This is how I add the files to the email..:

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
                sendIntent.setType("video/3gp");
                sendIntent.setType("video/mp4");
                startActivity(sendIntent);

...and here is the entire logcat error output:

Maybe you should pass an uri of the form file:///sdcard/Video0006.mp4.
