That's very odd. Have you tried the "package/type/name" format instead
of "package/id"?
Uri uri =
Uri.parse("android.resource://com.package.android.test/drawable/icon");
Or, alternatively, there might be something fishy with drawables
specifically, copy the image into the raw/ assets and try:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.package.android.test/raw/icon");
I'll give it a test tonight. As I said, the MMS ("Messaging") app
requires the image to be read in by BitmapFactory. It might be having
trouble with the fact the location is read-only... My guess is that
the Email/GMail apps reference the image file directly, and don't try
to transform it before sending.
