I am working on my 2nd app, on top of learning BT Server 2+. Challenging! :-) Have spent some time searching the forums for an answer to the following question; have come close, but no cigar. Here's the scenario: - Want to stream a number of short videos from YouTube by selecting each video via a Custom URL screen (do-able yes?), and... - Want to be able to have the app user send an email to a friend with the link of the video they just watched from each screen that contains that video From what I have read so far it appears phones cannot upload the video itself via email attachment. Can live with that. Are there any code examples, method, or resource that would allow the app user to create an email from each video screen with the link already embedded in the email body? Thanks!
