I'm new to Android!!! and I'm a bit stuck!
I'd like to know which is the code to send email with attachments through an android application. Looking around a bit, I read that it is not possible to send emails from the emulator but it is never specified which emulator they used. I use Genymotion, so is it possible to send email through an app or opening the already present app for emails, with this emulator? How can I do this adding also attachments?
Thanks a lot to everyone!

I have a csv file on my linux desktop that contains events in the future I need to be notified of. Currently, I have a python program made that emails me an hour before the event so I can act.
I used to have my Android phone set up so that if an email from my computer was received (sent through a google account) a unique sound would play. This distinguishes it from other emails.
After an Android update, this functionality is gone from Android phones.
I then used Twilio but am well past the free trial (I sent a text when the email was sent).
I have Airdroid on my phone but don't know how it can scan or read my file on a linux desktop to see when a notification is due.
The question is: what methods can I use to directly send a notification to my Android phone from a file on my desktop?
I am not sure if this is best Stack to ask this question so please advise if there is a better forum.
You can use the API of Pushbullet to accomplish this for free.
Then, their Android app is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pushbullet.android
I just recently had my app accepted into the App Store and submitted to Google Play. I have seen it where I find an app while using my desktop and then I can enter my phone number and the app download link is sent to my phone (e.g. http://www.groupon.com/mobile). I was wondering how I could create something similar for my application.
Any help would be appreciated.
You would need to implement something like twilio on your website. They provide an API that you can use to send text messages. It looks as though pricing starts at around 1 cent per message. They provide libraries in a variety of languages to help you get started.
Is it possible to change the inbuilt messaging application on an Android phone? I am doing a project, in which I want to encrypt and store all the incoming messages. Is it possible to see the source code of the the phone's messaging application so that I can add a new function into it, which will encrypt and store the incoming message? I am stuck right now. I read somewhere that if we root our phone, we can change the working of certain inbuilt applications. But even after rooting my phone, I don't know what to do. So please help me with any information you can.

i looking for code to send an email from my android application. I have googled and read that the code that are given will not run on emulators. i will have to put the code on actual devices to send an email.
why is this so?
thank you in advance
This migh be helpful Android Email Intent
If you are using an emulator, you’ll
need to configure the email client. If
the email client is not configured, it
will not respond to the Intent we’ll
be discussing. If you want to see the
chooser in action, you’ll need to
configure a device using multiple
messaging applications, such as the
Gmail application and the Email
application.
But using a phone might be way better and easy for sure.
As the previous answers said, the emulator doesn't include any email application for security purposes. Nonetheless you can download one (k9mail, for example) and it will work without issues whatsoever.
Because the emulator does not have an email app. You'll have to install one.
Because emulator is our virtual device is use only for testing purpose.
and reason is emulator is not a valid IP address due to security purpose it is not send email by emulator.
I have built a test android app and signed it successfully and then sent it to someone to test via email. They click on the attachment in the email on their android phone and get a parsing error.
They have 2.1 android
the test app was built using 2.2
would that cause an issue?
can email attachments of apk files not be installed directly to the phone?
Only would install from webserver link... not from email attachment on one persons phone. So I guess use weblink or market when possible is the answer.
I've had a similar problem - sending the app via email to myself worked fine, but out to a friend failed (they were using Yahoo mail).
I've since put it on a webserver and sent the URL instead - no reports yet on whether that worked, but it may be worth a try.
Prior to Android 2.2 this was not possible in the Gmail app. There are several helper apps that facilitate this functionality on 2.1 and lower, one of which is APKatcher (developed by yours truly). The easiest way is just to send URLs to a hosted copy which you've found.
