Send email with Image by starting activity using Intent of ACTION_SEND

In the previous posts "Send email using Intent.ACTION_SEND" and "Select Image using Android build-in Gallery" demonstrate how to send text email and load image by starting activity using Intent. In this exercise, both function are work together to send email with photos attached.

To attach image in email intent, call putExtra() to attach the image uri, and call setType() to set type of "image/png".
