Adding the Body in the Email in Android

I had developed the email sending functionality in my Application where I need to send the email with the specified subject. I have done that but I need that as soon as I click the Email Icon It sets some particular piece of Information in the Body part of the email format. It could be any information that I have with me.
Is it possible to set the data in the Email Body in android, I don't want to write anything in the Body of the mail.
Thanks,
DavidBrown

final Intent emailIntent = new Intent( android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
new String[] { "abc#gmail.com" });
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
"Email Subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
"Email Body");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(
emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
Intent.EXTRA_TEXT is what you are looking for.

Try this
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT ,
"body of email -- add text what you want ");

This can be useful for you..
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("text/plain");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,new String[]{"support#arboristapp.com"});
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_CC, new String[]{""});
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_BCC, new String[]{""});
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject of email");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is test app");
startActivity(emailIntent);

Not very clear what exactly you want. But if you need to add text/data in email body use
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This data will appear in email body");

Mail Intent doesn't show default Mail app

On some phones (HTC Desire S with Gingerbread and Galaxy Nexus) the following intent does not start the default mail client (com.android.mail).
viewIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
viewIntent.setType("plain/text");
Is there any way to find out which intent can be used to start the default mai client?

Email correct mime type is message/rfc822. text/plain should work too, but may trigger other handlers. plain/text is incorrect.
Also, ACTION_SENDTO is better if you are passing email addresses as parameters.

you can use like below :
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
new String[] { email_add });
startActivity(emailIntent);

try this way..
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
String toMail[] = {"email id"};
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,toMail);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject");
emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "body");
startActivity(emailIntent);

In the end I had to change my intent to using a "mailto:" link instead of using intent extras to make it work on the HTC.

how to send mail to an email id in android?

In my project i have to send mail to company id.First i tried code with my email id. but its not showing anything.my code is here
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
String aEmailList[] = { "my emailid used here" };
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, aEmailList);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "My subject");
emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "My message body.");
startActivity(emailIntent);
Log.e("name","msg sent success fully");
in my logcat i saw "msg sent success fully" message also. but i didnt get any mail in my mail id.
am i did any wrong code or am i need to add any permissions in manifest file.

Your code seems fine except there is no need to use "android.content." and there is no FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK What should happen is that your email program should start with these data already entered. Have you setup your email client on that device?
Here is a code example that works and sends an image selected from a gallery as an attachment:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
i.setType("image/png");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://" + mUrls[imageSelected].toString()));
startActivity(i);

How to properly handle this intent

I'm trying to have the user e-mail me when they click a button, and use this code to do so. While it works, it brings up a lot of other applications that cant handle e-mail, like Twitter and Facebook. What's missing?
String[] email = {"evan#example.com"};
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,email);
context.startActivity(sendIntent);

final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent .setType("plain/text");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"evan#example.com"});
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "My Subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, msg);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail"));

// start the activity
context.startActivity(sendIntent);
// start the activity asking the user how to send the email
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Email:"));
So you need to remove the last line.

Sending e-mail from Android not working

I just can't seem to get the e-mail sending working in Android.
Probably something stupid but I can't find it:
final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("text/plain")
.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,new String[] { "jb#mail.anykey.co.il" })
.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"Exception in Yaniv!")
.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"test");
ApplicationControllerBase.getMyApplicationContext().startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent,
"Send mail...").addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK));
I am not getting any error or exception on the startActivity command.

Edit:
Seems that this is the same problem as this guy is having: Android: How to start an activity from an UncaughtExceptionHandler set in application

setType should be plain/text
try with the following code
final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"webmaster#website.com"});
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "mySubject");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "myBodyText");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
