Launch other activity after createChooser

How can you redirect to another activity once the application that was launched by createChooser such as show below is complete?
My attempt below ends up with the second intent being triggered before the createChooser launches. I noticed that when I press the back button on the newly launched activity is when the createChooser appears on the activity I wanted to launch it from.
I also tried to wrap the createChooser in startActivityForResult and then launch the second intent using onActivityResult but the result was the same
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
Intent trackIntent = new Intent(InformContacts.this, TrackOffers.class);
startActivity(trackIntent);
Here's the entire code:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.PreferenceManager;

public class InformContacts extends Activity {
private static String ITEM_NAME = "Item name";
private static String ITEM_PRICE = "Item price";
private static String ITEM_PIC_URI = "Item pic uri";
public static final int REQUEST_SEND_EMAIL = 0;
ArrayList<Contact> listContacts;
ListView lvContacts;
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_inform_contacts);
listContacts = new ContactFetcher(this).fetchAll();
lvContacts = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lvContacts);
final ContactsAdapter adapterContacts = new ContactsAdapter(this, listContacts);
lvContacts.setAdapter(adapterContacts);
final Button informButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button6);
final SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext());
final String uriSharedPref = preferences.getString(ITEM_PIC_URI, "item pic uri");
informButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
ArrayList emailsList = adapterContacts.emailsSelected;
String item = preferences.getString(ITEM_NAME, "item name");
Float price = preferences.getFloat(ITEM_PRICE,0);
//May use the uriSharedPref string to embed actual url in email and show recipients like I did with publishing house
String sellingMessage = "Hello,\n\nI'm selling my "+ item +" for KES "+price+".\n\nGet back to me if you're interested in buying.\n\n" + uriSharedPref;
String subject = "Selling my "+item;
sendEmail(emailsList, sellingMessage, subject);
//Intent trackIntent = new Intent(InformContacts.this, TrackOffers.class);
//startActivity(trackIntent);
}
});
}
protected void sendEmail(ArrayList<String> arrayOfEmails, String message, String subject) {
Log.i("Send email", "");
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
//First Step: convert ArrayList to an Object array
Object[] objEmails = arrayOfEmails.toArray();
//Second Step: convert Object array to String array
String[] strEmails = Arrays.copyOf(objEmails, objEmails.length, String[].class);
emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
emailIntent.setType("text/plain");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, strEmails);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
List activities = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(emailIntent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
boolean isIntentSafe = activities.size() > 0;
if(isIntentSafe){
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."), REQUEST_SEND_EMAIL);
//finish();
Log.i("Done sending email...", "");
}
else{
Toast.makeText(InformContacts.this, "No email app found. Email won't be sent.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK){
if(requestCode == REQUEST_SEND_EMAIL){
Intent intent = new Intent(this, TrackOffers.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
}
}

Try this
Change to:
if(requestCode == REQUEST_SEND_EMAIL){
Intent intent = new Intent(this, TrackOffers.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
Instead of:
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK){
if(requestCode == REQUEST_SEND_EMAIL){
Intent intent = new Intent(this, TrackOffers.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}

emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://" + pathp));
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, emailtext);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send Mail..."));
}

}

You Can Use This Code:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("message/rfc822");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL , new String[]{"recipient#example.com"});
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject of email");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT , "body of email");
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

send video from sdcard to perticular emaill address

video attachment can not send to particular email address.
I have created an application that sends an email with a recording video, when the intent is fired and email is chosen as the app to send the attachment, you can see that there is an attachment but the attachment is not delivered
package com.example.emailnew;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button button1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
button1=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
button1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("video/mp4");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL , new String[]{"123#gmail.com"});
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "video");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT , "evidence");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://sdcard/Pictures/Mycameravideos/VIDS.mp4"));//pngFile
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
}
});
}
}

Try this code.
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("video/mp4");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {
"mail--id" });
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment
.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "Pictures/Mycameravideos/VIDS.mp4"));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
emailIntent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));\
and ya don't forget to add this below permission to your menifest file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Android: How to confirm that email has been sent successfully

Here is my code that is able to sent email successfully

Toast.makeText(this, "Mail canceled.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(this, "Plz try again.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
}
I want to get some information back to check whether the email has been sent successfully or not. It always prints the message "send email" and opens built-in email client and sends email.

You cannot do this using : android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND.
Just try to send a mail using the mailing app to a email ID that doesnot exist. You will see that the app does not notify you of the failed delivery. Using android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND, you are actually passing an intent to the same app to do the email delivery task for you. So you will never know if your mail delivery has failed.
The work around.
You need to implement the email delivery a 3rd party Library mail.jar or some thing similar. But the thing is you need to have senders' mailID and PASSWORD both to set this up. May be you can have a dummy email account with which you can send the mail.
This can help.
