Android Email Intent Issue

I want to send the email from my android app. If i m using
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
It is opening skype,bluetooth along with the mail client
and if i use
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
then it is only opening mail client,but in the text body it is adding %20%20 when there is new line
Which approach is suitable to get only mail client and body of the mail containing new lines and spaces.

Try sending it as below:
String subject = "mail subject";
String body = "whatever the mail content is. may include html tags too";
Intent intMail = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intMail.setType("message/rfc822");
intMail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
intMail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(body));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intMail, "Send Email..."));

Try to use this code. You can keep subject, body etc as optional. It only opens email client and gives right output.
final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Body);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Email:"));

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");

How to send Mail from Android app

I have developed a very simple Android app where user has to select items from the Spinners and type some texts in a Message box. Then the job is to SUBMIT. If the user tap on SUBMIT the whole selected data would send to a specific email address directly. After successful sending there comes a Dialog box showing some Thank You message. It should be mentioned here that I've used 4 Spinners and 1 Edittext box.
Now I'm looking for the code to SUBMIT button's action. Please help me out.
Thank in advance.

I have never written an email sending function in Android. However, the alternative way instead of sending the email through your app is to fire the intent to other email app.
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
String receiver = "someone#somewhere.com";
String subject = "your email subject";
String body = "your email body";
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, receiver);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);
startActivity(emailIntent);
Also, don't forget adding permission in your AndroidManifest.

I used it in my app. here is the code.
When multiple Application to send email handling it to others applications
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send your email in:"));
Supplying Message Content
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
String aEmailList[] = { "user#gmail.com","user2#gmail.com" };
String aEmailCCList[] = { "user3#gmail.com","user4#gmail.com"};
String aEmailBCCList[] = { "user5#gmail.com" };
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, aEmailList);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_CC, aEmailCCList);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_BCC, aEmailBCCList);
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);

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.

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..."));
