I want to send .mp3 file via mail (using share intent).

I have tried the following code :

Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("*/*");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,Uri.parse("android.resource://
com.my.android.package/"+resId));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Sound"));

Log of Uri.parse("android.resource://com.my.android.package/"+resId)
shows the below string :

android.resource://com.my.android.package/2130968609

When i select any mail application, the audio file(.mp3) gets
attached with resourceId.mp3 file (2130968609). I dont want that.

I want to get fileName.mp3. I want something like android.resource://
com.my.android.package/fileName.mp3. So that user can recognize the
file they wanted to share.

How can i do that ?

Finally after searching a lot i found the solution.

If you want to get any resource URI then there are two ways :

Using Resource Name

Syntax : android.resource://[package]/[res type]/[res name]

Example : Uri.parse("android.resource://com.segf4ult.test/drawable/
icon");

Using Resource Id

Syntax : android.resource://[package]/[resource_id]

Example : Uri.parse("android.resource://com.segf4ult.test/" +
R.drawable.icon);

This were the examples to get the URI of any image file stored in
drawable folder.

Similarly you can get URIs of res/raw folder.

In my case i used 1st way ie. Using Resource Name

I don't know why you add in /res/raw, but maybe it could more interesting
to put these files in assets.
Maybe you can set a specific name building your shareintent.
