Solution 2

You need to import lib BackgroundMailLibrary

 BackgroundMail bm = new BackgroundMail(PasswordChangeActivity.this);
                                            bm.setGmailUserName(mail id);
                                            bm.setGmailPassword(Utils.decryptIt(password)); 
                                            bm.setMailTo(ownerEmail);
                                            bm.setFormSubject(subject);
                                            bm.setFormBody(body);
                                            bm.send();

mail send from background...

you can use javaMail to send mail from background
first of all you need to add these three .jar file...
Download these jar files

(1) Activation.jar: http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/a/Downloadactivationjar.htm
(2) Additionnal.jar: http://code.google.com/p/javamail-android/downloads/detail?name=additionnal.jar&can=2&q=
(3) mail.jar: http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/m/Downloadmailjar.htm

And then use these below code:
MainActivity.java

Dont forget to add this line to your manifest <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

[Nabeel Hafeez]

Any function about attach file from phone memory.

[Abdul Rizwan]

You can refer the following link , and use import option...stackoverflow.com/a/29892730/3636561

[Nabeel Hafeez]

That above links are not helpful. Because I save file through filling successfully now i want it attach automatically without user interaction.

[Nabeel Hafeez]

@NabeelHafeez what do you mean by "when import config java util then error on mail success"? how did you fix this problem?

[Nabeel Hafeez]

I remove config.mailSuccess = 1; then work perfectly.
