I am trying to write a Java app which can send emails to specify emails. In the email i also want to attach some pic.
Please find my code below :-
public class AmazonSESSample {
static final String FROM = "[email protected]";
static final String TO = "[email protected]";
static final String BODY = "This email was sent through Amazon SES by using the AWS SDK for Java. hello";
static final String SUBJECT = "Amazon SES test (AWS SDK for Java)";
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
Destination destination = new Destination().withToAddresses(new String[] { TO });
Content subject = new Content().withData(SUBJECT);
Message msg = new Message().withSubject(subject);
// Include a body in both text and HTML formats
//Content textContent = new Content().withData("Hello - I hope you're having a good day.");
Content htmlContent = new Content().withData("<h2>Hi User,</h2>\n"
+ " <h3>Please find the ABC Association login details below</h3>\n"
+ " <img src=\"logo.png\" alt=\"Mountain View\">\n"
+ " Click <a href=\"http://google.com">here</a> to go to the association portal.\n"
+ " <h4>Association ID - 12345</h4>\n" + " <h4>Admin UID - suny342</h4>\n"
+ " <h4>Password - poass234</h4>\n" + " Regards,\n" + " <br>Qme Admin</br>");
Body body = new Body().withHtml(htmlContent);
msg.setBody(body);
SendEmailRequest request = new SendEmailRequest().withSource(FROM).withDestination(destination)
.withMessage(msg);
try {
System.out.println("Attempting to send an email through Amazon SES by using the AWS SDK for Java...");
AWSCredentials credentials = null;
credentials = new BasicAWSCredentials("ABC", "CDF");
try {
// credentialsProvider.
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new AmazonClientException("Cannot load the credentials from the credential profiles file. "
+ "Please make sure that your credentials file is at the correct "
+ "location (/Users/iftekharahmedkhan/.aws/credentials), and is in valid format.", e);
}
AmazonSimpleEmailService client = AmazonSimpleEmailServiceClientBuilder.standard()
.withCredentials(new AWSStaticCredentialsProvider(credentials)).withRegion("us-west-2").build();
client.sendEmail(request);
System.out.println("Email sent!");
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("The email was not sent.");
System.out.println("Error message: " + ex.getMessage());
}
}
}
The image is placed in the resource directory but it is not being embeded in the email. Can anyone please help.
Instead of relative path, you'll need to use either an absolute public path to the image itself or a data URL. For example:
<img src=\"https://example.com/logo.png\" alt=\"Mountain View\" />
or
<img src=\"data:image/png;base64, {BASE64_ENCODED_DATA}\" alt=\"Mountain View\" />
EDIT
As of January 2020, Gmail still does not support base64 encoded images.
