i looking for code to send an email from my android application. I have googled and read that the code that are given will not run on emulators. i will have to put the code on actual devices to send an email.
why is this so?
thank you in advance
This migh be helpful Android Email Intent
If you are using an emulator, you’ll
need to configure the email client. If
the email client is not configured, it
will not respond to the Intent we’ll
be discussing. If you want to see the
chooser in action, you’ll need to
configure a device using multiple
messaging applications, such as the
Gmail application and the Email
application.
But using a phone might be way better and easy for sure.
As the previous answers said, the emulator doesn't include any email application for security purposes. Nonetheless you can download one (k9mail, for example) and it will work without issues whatsoever.
Because the emulator does not have an email app. You'll have to install one.
Because emulator is our virtual device is use only for testing purpose.
and reason is emulator is not a valid IP address due to security purpose it is not send email by emulator.

I have a csv file on my linux desktop that contains events in the future I need to be notified of. Currently, I have a python program made that emails me an hour before the event so I can act.
I used to have my Android phone set up so that if an email from my computer was received (sent through a google account) a unique sound would play. This distinguishes it from other emails.
After an Android update, this functionality is gone from Android phones.
I then used Twilio but am well past the free trial (I sent a text when the email was sent).
I have Airdroid on my phone but don't know how it can scan or read my file on a linux desktop to see when a notification is due.
The question is: what methods can I use to directly send a notification to my Android phone from a file on my desktop?
I am not sure if this is best Stack to ask this question so please advise if there is a better forum.
You can use the API of Pushbullet to accomplish this for free.
Then, their Android app is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pushbullet.android
I am creating an app for android device and I was wondering if it is possible to connect my app with an e-mail account and have notifications every time the (let's say the gmail account) receives a new mail, and display the message in a new activity. I have researched a lot but I have not found something really useful.
Can anyone give me a clue on how to do it or even where to look for?
Yes. It is possible. You have to create an email client.
Here are some good email clients
You need to use the email client API for that. Here is Gmail API, you can find more my googling.
I'm new to Android!!! and I'm a bit stuck!
I'd like to know which is the code to send email with attachments through an android application. Looking around a bit, I read that it is not possible to send emails from the emulator but it is never specified which emulator they used. I use Genymotion, so is it possible to send email through an app or opening the already present app for emails, with this emulator? How can I do this adding also attachments?
Thanks a lot to everyone!

I have built a test android app and signed it successfully and then sent it to someone to test via email. They click on the attachment in the email on their android phone and get a parsing error.
They have 2.1 android
the test app was built using 2.2
would that cause an issue?
can email attachments of apk files not be installed directly to the phone?
Only would install from webserver link... not from email attachment on one persons phone. So I guess use weblink or market when possible is the answer.
I've had a similar problem - sending the app via email to myself worked fine, but out to a friend failed (they were using Yahoo mail).
I've since put it on a webserver and sent the URL instead - no reports yet on whether that worked, but it may be worth a try.
Prior to Android 2.2 this was not possible in the Gmail app. There are several helper apps that facilitate this functionality on 2.1 and lower, one of which is APKatcher (developed by yours truly). The easiest way is just to send URLs to a hosted copy which you've found.
I was wondering how to get the email from the owner of the phone or from the gmail account used on the phone.
I am trying to do this on android 1.6 and up.
I know its possible because I have seen some apps that get the email.
Maybe its undocumented or it reads it from a undocumented provider or some authentication service, but I know its possible.
Can anybody help me on this?
Thanks
Daniel
To retrieve information from another application you would use it's content provider.
The problem with what you want to do is that the gmail application is closed source and does not have documentation like the rest of the open source SDK. You could hack a solution together using undocumented providers like you said, but updates to the gmail application may break your code.
Either create your own email application using POP3 or IMAP and integrate with that, or think of a different way to do what you're looking to accomplish.
