Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text.getText());
sendIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Send email with"));
this was my code.
I tried the send mail in emulator. But it shows the no application can perform this action. if anyone knows means tell me
Thanks in advance
You need to use text/plain
intent.setType("text/plain");
Also, the Intent.ACTION_SEND is made for sharing, you may want to use Intent.ACTION_SENDTO to only get the list of e-mail clients, or avoid sharing applications such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.
This worked for me
Intent email = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"youremail#yahoo.com"});
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject");
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "message");
email.setType("message/rfc822");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(email, "Choose an Email client :"));
There's a better approach if you want to send mail: use Action.SEND_TO:
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("mailto:sample#mail.com"));
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text.getText());
That will narrow down the searchlist.
NOTE: Make sure you have set up email account on emulator, else the Email application will not be in the handlers-list, and you'll get exception.
This means that there is no application that is registered for handling such kind of intent.
Edit:
Try setting the intent type to "text/plain"
emailIntent.setType("text/plain");
and/or set EXTRA_EMAIL to set the content of the email
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, text.getText());
After trying everything as mentioned in the above comments, if you don't find your solution, Just set an email in the default email in Emulator. It works for me.
private fun sendMail(recipient: String, subject: String, message: String)
{
val mIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND)
mIntent.data = Uri.parse("mailto:sample#gmail.com")
mIntent.type = "text/plain"
mIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, arrayOf(recipient))
mIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject)
mIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message)
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(mIntent, "Choose email client"))
Toast.makeText(this, "Hey !! We received your order :) ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}catch (e:Exception){
e.printStackTrace()
Toast.makeText(this, "Sorry your order could not be sent :( ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}
}
This code works for me, I was facing the same problem,
changing : "val mIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO)" to
"val mIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND)" solved the problem for me.
Hope my response would help the readers
This generally means that there is no application installed currently, that understands the request you're making.
In this instance I would hazard a guess that there is no email app installed on the emulator? Or possibly that it hasn't been set up.

How can I create a simple program that it can send a text to a gmail address?
I want to create a simple program that it have a EditText and when I write some text in the EditText and I click on the Button, as the result the text be sent to a gmail address, for example to the example#gmail.com. I know how to create a EditText class but I do not know the operation post to the gmail. Thank you.
In Android, you can use Intent.ACTION_SEND to call an existing email client to send an Email.
Intent email = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"put_your_mail#gmail.com"});
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject");
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "message");
email.setType("message/rfc822");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(email, "Choose an Email client :"));
For more details you visit How to send Email in Android and
http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/quick-tip-enabling-users-to-send-email-from-your-android-applications-the-easy-way--mobile-1686
Standard way to do this is using the ACTION_SEND intent
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, "emailaddress#emailaddress.com");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "I'm email body.");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send Email"));
If you want to send the mail in background without opening another app check this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/2033124/2761055
Here, you have information how to do that in background with PHP file on your server.
But in my opinion, this method is deprecated.
Look also here. This code will start new intent with email.
So I'm trying to launch a prepopulated email client with data. The content gets populated fine, however my problem is that when launching the intent, I wanted it to only show email clients to select from.
Instead, it shows Gmail, Adding to EverNote, Android Beam, Bluetooth, and some others.
I don't know if its an issue with lollipop that broke this functionality or not, as one of my managers sent me code that worked fine for him a few years ago.
My code is:
private void openEmailClient(){
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("message/rfc822");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{getResources().getString(R.string.contact_feedback_email_address)});
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, getResources().getString(R.string.contact_feedback_email_subject_android));
try{
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent,intentEmailString));
} catch(android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex){
Log.e(EMAIL_FAIL_TAG, EMAIL_FAIL);
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
when you will change your intent.setType like below you will get
intent.setType("text/plain");
Use
android.content.Intent.ACTION_SENDTO
(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);) to get only the list of e-mail clients, with no facebook or other apps. Just the email clients.
I wouldn't suggest you get directly to the email app. Let the user choose his favorite email app. Don't constrain him.
If you use ACTION_SENDTO, putExtra does not work to add subject and text to the intent. Use Uri to add the subject and body text.
We can use message/rfc822 instead of "text/plain" as the MIME type. However, that is not indicating "only offer email clients" -- it indicates "offer anything that supports message/rfc822 data". That could readily include some application that are not email clients.
message/rfc822 supports MIME Types of .mhtml, .mht, .mime
EDIT
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("mailto:someone#example.com"));
intent.putExtra("subject", "my subject");
intent.putExtra("body", "my message");
startActivity(intent);
its working ...
So I solved it. Not ideally but it works better than anything else I have tried.
I followed the google docs on doing it, which says to do this:
public void composeEmail(String[] addresses, String subject) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:")); // only email apps should handle this
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, addresses);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivity(intent);
}
}
and it now works.
This just finds a default app for handling mail. I'm not sure how it decides, but in my case it opened GMail. On a device without GMail installed, such as the Galaxy S5, it opened their mail client and prompted the user to set up email.
Doesn't give choice of app but it works
Try like this it working fine for me...
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("mailto:abc#gmail.com"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Test App");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Email Body");
startActivity(intent);
Note: it only work if you have email address.
For more information please refer this link Android - Is there a foolproof way to only show possible EMAIL clients?
I am using this to send email programmatically in android but in Android 4.4.4 works bad. Is there another way to do this? Here is my code, thank you.
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
//i.setType("text/plain"); //use this line for testing in the emulator
i.setType("message/rfc822") ; // use from live device
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"-my app-");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Hello");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Select your mail app"));
The dialog appears very big on the screen
The size of the chooser window is up to the device, not you. The chooser window will be the same size for all apps on the device that trigger a chooser, and so the user will be expecting to see the "very big" chooser window on devices that have one.
If you feel that the size of the chooser window should be what you want rather than what your users will expect, you will need to create your own chooser. You can do this using PackageManager and queryIntentActivities() to see what all responds to your Intent and using that to populate some chooser UI of your own design.
I hope below code will be helpfull for you..
protected void sendEmail() {
String[] recipients = {recipient.getText().toString()};
Intent email = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND, Uri.parse("mailto:"));
// prompts email clients only
email.setType("message/rfc822");
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, recipients);
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject.getText().toString());
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body.getText().toString());
try {
// the user can choose the email client
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(email, "Choose an email client from..."));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "No email client installed.",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
Above code works for me!
Enjoy!!!
I am currently working on an android project and I am adding a preference to be able to send me an email. I am using the ACTION_SENDTO intent to send the email but its coming back and says No apps can perform this action.
Below is the code I am using
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, "someone#example.com");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Check out this android app");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Check out this new app in the Google Play Store. Its from Boardies IT Solutions and is called Boardies Password Manager. You can find it at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.BoardiesITSolutions.PasswordManager");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send Email"));
Thanks for any help you can provide
You need to add the following
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:" + "email#bla.com")); // leave
blank if not specificity
I think you should replace Intent.ACTION_SENDTO to Intent.ACTION_SEND,
Hope this will work for you.
How about this code:
final Intent emailLauncher = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailLauncher.setType("message/rfc822");
emailLauncher.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, "username#domain.com");
emailLauncher.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "check this subject line");
emailLauncher.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "hey check this message body!");
try{
startActivity(emailLauncher);
}catch(ActivityNotFoundException e){
}
I'm launching the email program in Android from my app, using the following code...
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Test subject");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hello World!");
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Select email application."), INTENT_REQUEST_SEND_EMAIL);
In the called OnActivityResult(), is it possible to get the number of recepients the user has chosen to send the email to?
Thanks,
Rajath
That action does not support startActivityForResult(), sorry.
