Android intent not showing only email clients

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.

Sending an email via an intent

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){
}

Android: action_send intent is not showing facebook

I recently implemented the action-send intent to share a plain text. Facebook is installed and updated on my phone but only "Googlemail" and "Textmessage" are shown as options for sharing my text.
A short code snippet:
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("plain/text");
intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, item.getTitle());
intent.putExtra(
android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
(item.getDescription());
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send..."));
Any suggestions what's wrong with my app?
Normally I would think that I dont have to implement the whole facebook sdk for my simple purpose?!
Thanks in advance

The MIME type to use is text/plain, not plain/text.

Send Email in Android using the default android app(Builtin Email application)

I want to send email from my application using the default android email app. I have written a code for that as
Intent mailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
mailIntent.setType("plain/text");
mailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { EMAIL });
mailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"Invitation");
mailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,MAIL_MESSAGE);
startActivity(mailIntent);
But here it is opening the email application. I want to send the mail instead of starting any activity. Is there any ways to replace the startActivity and initiate the intent action?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

this link can be useful, have a look at another useful link or a code snippet from this link is attached below
final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, newString[]{"yourmail#website.com"});
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, mySubject);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, myBodyText);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail));
Hope that helps...

yes you can done it by configuring the mail code on server side and from android call web service then server will send the mail

How do I add a correctly formatted link (with a hash mark) to an email message using intent on Android?

I am creating an email intent and filling the message with a link that contains a hashmark:
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)#Software_development");
Once I send this and reopen it on Android, the default mail client only makes the link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)
Is there a way to fix this problem?

This is a problem with Android's default mail. Links work great using the gmail app!

Try the following. I am unable to test my code because of problem in my IDE.
final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("text/html");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)#Software_development"));
Thanks
