String body="message";
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Check out this book I am reading");
emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email..."));
No matter what I do (removing all gmail accounts and signin a hotmail account with mail app), this code launches Gmail by default and do not show or let me choose my universal mail app.
Consequently, there is no way to let user send email via hotmail or other mail provider.
update:
Actually this is the best piece of code I ever come across, it presents you directly with an app chooser where only mail client are present. The answer below will give you a huge list of apps to choose from that are irrelevant.
String mailTo="";
Intent email_intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts("mailto",mailTo, null));
email_intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject text here");
email_intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Body text here");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(email_intent, "Send email..."));
Try using the correct MIME type (text/plain) instead of an invalid MIME type (plain/text).

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 building an android application where an user is required to lo-gin using g+ to enter in the app. After lo-gin there is 3 EditTextView where user enter required data respect to their field to send mail. the field like - recipient mail Id, subject, and body.
Now the problem is How to send the mail to that recipient ID. using my app.

Try with Following
private String[] recipients = {"abc#gmail.com"};
private String type = "text/html";
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, recipients);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "text");
intent.setType(type);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send mail"));
I want to send an email with android 2.2. First I made an intent chooser with an ACTION_SEND to select which to use :
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, Resources.getString("EmailInvitationSubject", getBaseContext()));
String body = Resources.getString("EmailInvitationBody", getBaseContext()) + Local.User.FirstName;
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Invite friends"));
But in that case, the selector show 'Bluetooth, Messaging, Google+, Gmail'. I want to show ONLY Gmail or other email app.
I saw in the sdk docs there's a new CATEGORY_APP_EMAIL to use but it's only available in the API level 15. I have to keep API level 8. Is there a way to do that ?
By the way, I'll want to do it for messaging too so that in the end I can have 2 buttons: one for email and one for messaging.
This code will shows only the email clients,
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 :"));
