[Q] Gmail App Missing Attachments

[SFBPro]

Hey guys, is anyone missing options to include as attachments in the gmail app? The regular mail app has options to include locations, vCards, videos, voice recordings, etc.

i have the attachments option in gmail,
but i don't have as many options as the stock mail app, either.

i would think that the MAIL app simply has all of them as pre-sets, but if you use GMAIL then you can simply navigate to them using the pop-up suggestion of 'file explorer' or any other apps like 'andro-zip' that you have installed (which also popped up in my gmail attachment option)

Yes, that would be a viable option if I wanted to send something like a document, picture, etc. However, it would be nice to have the integration of the vcard, capture picture/video, send GPS coordinates, and other items that are not specific files on my phone.

good point

although some of those are indeed possible--but strictly from the app in which you would find them (*GPS--Maps app, for example)--

it would indeed be nicer to have just one starting place (gmail) from which all of those could be shared.

I was thinking the functionality was missing, but it seems like it was never implemented? I just looked at my Xoom and it only has my file browser and gallery. I thought my HTC Touch was able to attach these items, but I can't remember as it has been over a year since I have messed with it. Plus it was running some other hero Rom or something like that...
