Using Android Intent.ACTION_SEND for sending email

Using Android Intent.ACTION_SEND for sending email - android

I'm using Intent.ACTION_SEND to send an email. However, when I call the intent it is showing choices to send a message, send an email, and also to send via bluetooth. I want it to only show choices to send an email. How can I do this?

[Solution for API LEVEL >=15]
I've finally succeded in sending email WITH attachments to ONLY email clients.
I write it here because it took me a lot of time and it may be usefull to others.
The problem is:
Intent.ACTION_SENDTO takes Data URI (so you can specify "mailto:"
schema) BUT it does not accept Intent:EXTRA_STREAM.
Intent.ACTION_SEND accepts Intent:EXTRA_STREAM (so you can add
attachment) BUT it takes only Type (not Data URI so you cannot
specify "mailto:" schema).
So Intent.ACTION_SEND lets the user choose from several Activities, even if you setType("message/rfc822"), because that App/Activities can manage all file types (tipically GDrive/Dropbox Apps) and so even email message files.
The solution is in the setSelector method.
With this method you can use Intent.ACTION_SENDTO to select the Activity, but then send the Intent.ACTION_SEND Intent.
Here my solution code (the attachment came from a FileProvider, but it could be any file):
{
Intent emailSelectorIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
emailSelectorIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"address#mail.com"});
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
emailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
emailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
emailIntent.setSelector( emailSelectorIntent );
Uri attachment = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, "my_fileprovider", myFile);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, attachment);
if( emailIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null )
startActivity(emailIntent);
}

I'm not taking credit for this answer but I believe it gives the best answer for this post.
It's a common misconception to use text/plain or text/html. This will trigger any application that can handle plain or HTML text files without any context, including Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote and Skype.
Instead use a ACTION_SENDTO, providing the mailto: Uri
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("mailto:"));
You can then proceed using the chooser as suggested through the other answers.
Answered by #PaulLammertsma here
Android email chooser

Intent email = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
email.setType("application/octet-stream");
EDIT:
You could try setting the type to "message/rfc822" as well.
try this...

#Ganapathy:try this code for display gmail
Intent gmail = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
gmail.setClassName("com.google.android.gm","com.google.android.gm.ComposeActivityGmail");
gmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { "jckdsilva#gmail.com" });
gmail.setData(Uri.parse("jckdsilva#gmail.com"));
gmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "enter something");
gmail.setType("plain/text");
gmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "hi android jack!");
startActivity(gmail);

This will help you.
On your button click :
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 :"));

Using message/rfc822 type as pointed here: ACTION_SEND force sending with email solves the issue.

I had a similar problem with my app. I recently found this link form the official android developers site that really helps!
Common Intents: Email
TL;DR:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
Now, you will only be shown email clients!
You can add a Subject and Body by doing this:
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Body" );

I notice, that this is an pretty old question but it is the first result when searching for a "Send mail" solution and all answers have a common problem:
Using Intent.ACTION_SEND and intent.setType("message/rfc822") will result in a chooser that not only shows mail apps but all apps that can handle any MIME type support by message/rfc822, e.g. .mhtml, .mht, .mime. Beside mail apps this could be Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, etc.
The only solution I found to limit the chooser to mail apps only is to use Intent.ACTION_SENDTO instead:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts("mailto","address#example.com", null));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "My Mail");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT , "My Message");
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Thanks to the Open source developer, cketti for sharing this concise and neat solution. It's the only method that worked for me.
String mailto = "mailto:bob#example.org" +
"?cc=" + "alice#example.com" +
"&subject=" + Uri.encode(subject) +
"&body=" + Uri.encode(bodyText);
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse(mailto));
try {
startActivity(emailIntent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
//TODO: Handle case where no email app is available
}
And this is the link to his/her gist.

First solution: try to be more specific in your Intent parameters. Add a message recipient for instance
emailIntent .putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {"user#example.com"});
Second solution: use the package manager to find all applications capable of sending a message and select the only those you want to use.

Shout-out to ARLabs for posting the best solution on how to send an email on android. I just made a little update - an option to add multiple email attachements.
fun sendEmail(context: Context, recipients: List<String>?, subject: String?, body: String?, attachments: List<Uri>?) {
val emailIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE)
emailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION)
emailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION)
emailIntent.selector = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("mailto:"))
recipients?.let {
val recipientsArray = arrayOfNulls<String>(recipients.size)
ArrayList(recipients).toArray(recipientsArray)
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, recipientsArray)
}
subject?.let {
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject)
}
body?.let {
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body)
}
if (attachments?.isNotEmpty() == true) {
emailIntent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, ArrayList(attachments))
}
try {
context.startActivity(emailIntent)
} catch (e: ActivityNotFoundException) {
// TODO handle "no app to handle action" error
}
}

This is a combination of Jack Dsilva and Jignesh Mayani solutions:
try
{
Intent gmailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
gmailIntent.setType("text/html");
final PackageManager pm = _activity.getPackageManager();
final List<ResolveInfo> matches = pm.queryIntentActivities(gmailIntent, 0);
String gmailActivityClass = null;
for (final ResolveInfo info : matches)
{
if (info.activityInfo.packageName.equals("com.google.android.gm"))
{
gmailActivityClass = info.activityInfo.name;
if (gmailActivityClass != null && !gmailActivityClass.isEmpty())
{
break;
}
}
}
gmailIntent.setClassName("com.google.android.gm", gmailActivityClass);
gmailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { "yourmail#gmail.com" });
gmailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
gmailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_CC, "cc#gmail.com"); // if necessary
gmailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Email message");
gmailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("yourmail#gmail.com"));
this._activity.startActivity(gmailIntent);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { "yourmail#gmail.com" });
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_CC, "cc#gmail.com"); // if necessary
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Email message");
i.setType("plain/text");
this._activity.startActivity(i);
}
So, at first it will try to open gmail app and in case a user doesn't have it then the second approach will be implemented.

Best code to restrict it to only send an email. set this type to only send an email. i.setType("message/rfc822");
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("message/rfc822");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL , new String[]{"skapis1#outlook.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(Firstclass.this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

This saved my day. It sends composed text message directly to gmail app:
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts(
"mailto","togmail.com", null));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Report message");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, edt_msg.getText().toString());
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email..."));

This will open only the Email app installed in your android phone.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"example#gmail.com"});
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "email subject");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "message body");
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "send mail"));
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(this, "No mail app found!!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
} catch (Exception ex) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Unexpected Error!!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
}

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private EditText edt_email;
private Button btn_send;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
edt_email = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edt_email);
btn_send = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_send);
btn_send.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND );
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL , new String[]{"sanaebadi97#gmail.com"});
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT , "subject");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT , "My Email Content");
intent.setType("message/rfc822");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent , "Choose Your Account : "));
}
});
}
}

try with ACTION_VIEW not ACTION_SENDTO , ACTION_VIEW will makes system calls only to Email Apps
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

Email body empty when select to send email by Gmail

I'm using this code:
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts("mailto",email, null));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
activity.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send feedback to xyz"));
for 2 years. And until now everything worked fine. User can select message client and send feedback with prefilled data inside. It worked fine for all mail clients.
Recently noticed that if I select gmail client - body of message remains empty, but on other mail clients body is filled with text.
Any ideas?

Thanks for help
Made tests with lots of suggested answers.
adding "text/plain" or "message/rfc822" made my app to stop offering mail clients.
Fount this answer that fixed my issue:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/59365539/973233
Most interesting part for me is having 2 intents:
Intent selectorIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
selectorIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{email});
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
emailIntent.setSelector( selectorIntent );
activity.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send feedback to XYZ"));
This solved problem.

Recently i encountered the same issue. While searching, i found this as being the best solution (kotlin) (at least for myself):
fun sendEmail(email: String, subject: String, message: String) {
val emailIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND)
emailIntent.data = Uri.parse("mailto:")
emailIntent.type = "text/plain"
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, arrayOf(email))
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject)
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message)
val sendIntent = Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Please Choose Email Client...")
sendIntent.flags = Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
try {
context.startActivity(sendIntent)
} catch (e: Exception) {
Toast.makeText(context, e.message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}
}

To send an email with a body, use message/rfc822.
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { "to1#example.com", "to2#example.com" });
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject of the email");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Content of the email");
startActivity(sendIntent);
Hope this helps.

I'm using the following code and is working for every email client.
Example:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
intent.setType("plain/text");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {"email id of receiver"});
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "This is the subject of the email client");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is the body of the email client");
// this line is for attaching file
intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send Email"));

I use body properties for gmail and EXTRA_TEXT for other email. I've tested for different email app such as samsung email, oneplus email, and LG email, they seems to support EXTRA_TEXT but gmail is supporting "body" properties.
fun composeEmailMessage(context: Context, subject: String, body: String, emails: Array<String> = arrayOf()) {
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO)
intent.data = Uri.parse("mailto:")
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, emails)
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject)
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body)//other emails app
intent.putExtra("body", body)//gmail
if (intent.resolveActivity(context.packageManager) != null) {
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send email via..."))
}
}

I had similar issue. This worked for me: instead of
"mailto"
You have to use
"mailto:"
I have also replaced "Uri.fromParts" with "Uri.parse"

How to Send Emails?

I found an algorithm to send an email through an Android app. When I run it, it opens a list of apps I can choose to send it, however, I only wanted to use the Gmail app.
This is the code:
protected void sendEmail(String subject, String text) {
Log.i("Send email", "");
String[] TO = {"email#gmail.com"};
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, TO);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
finish();
Log.i("Finished sending email!", "");
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "There is no email client installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
Thanks in advance!

Implicit Intents declare a general action to perform, in your case every app that has an intent filter of an e-mail client, this can be Gmail, Outlook or whatever e-mail client that your device has.
In this case you can try this code:
Intent sendIntentGmail = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntentGmail.setType("plain/text");
sendIntentGmail.setData(Uri.parse(TextUtils.join(",", addresses)));
sendIntentGmail.setClassName("com.google.android.gm", "com.google.android.gm.ComposeActivityGmail");
sendIntentGmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, addresses);
if (subject != null) sendIntentGmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
if (body != null) sendIntentGmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);
mContext.startActivity(sendIntentGmail);

You can use below code:
Intent mailClient = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
mailClient.setClassName("com.google.android.gm",
"com.google.android.gm.ConversationListActivity");
startActivity(mailClient);

ACTION_SEND force sending with email

every time i create an action for sending an email from my app, it prompts to many options including a QR client...
Is there a way to force sending via email clients only?
Code for sending the email
String rec[] = { owner.email };
i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("text/plain");
i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, rec);
i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "RE: " + desc);
i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
"\n\n\nSent from Mojo for Android");
startActivity(i);
Screenshot for what happens when I launch this

Try to setType message/rfc822 instead of text/plain

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("text/html");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
new String[] { "abc#xyz.com" });
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
"Subject of the Mail");
emailIntent.putExtra( android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
"This is my sample Mail");
emailIntent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.dir/email");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Email:"));
else use this it will shows only the mail clients,
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
new String[] { "abc#xyz.com" });
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
"Subject of the Mail");
emailIntent.putExtra( android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
"This is my sample Mail");
//emailIntent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.dir/email");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Email:"));

I think you should change the setType to
i.setType("message/rfc822") ;

Even though it's too late for #thepoosh, but it may be helpful for future questioners. After a lot of searching and testing, I finally found a good solution.
Thanks to the Open source developer, cketti for sharing his/her concise solution.
String mailto = "mailto:bob#example.org" +
"?cc=" + "alice#example.com" +
"&subject=" + Uri.encode(subject) +
"&body=" + Uri.encode(bodyText);
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse(mailto));
try {
startActivity(emailIntent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
//TODO: Handle case where no email app is available
}
This is the link to his/her gist.

It will show all the available app installed on android phone which can perform sharing or send a link from webview to others. Like - Gmail, facebook, imo, whatsapp, messenger etc.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
String shareLink = webView.getUrl();
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareLink);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share via..."));
But when you force to open mail app only :
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"something#gmail.com"});
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "send mail"));
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(this, "No mail app found!!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
} catch (Exception ex) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Unexpected Error!!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
}

As long as you are using ACTION_SEND with type text/plain, it will show all the valid options. However, if you want, you may design your your own dialog window which shows only Gmail or other mail client by doing filtering programatically.
BTW, why do you even need this window when you just want to use Gmail?

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:?to=email&subject=hello&body=hello%20world"));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send via..."));
you can try this:::::

Intent.setType("plain/text");
At first when I spotted this I immediately though it was a mistake and it was meant to be text/plain, but this is actually the correct way to only display E-mail clients in the application list.
Give it a try and see for yourself.

intent.setPackage("com.google.android.gm"); //Added Gmail Package to forcefully open Gmail App

String rec[] = { owner.email };
i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("message/rfc822") ;
i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, rec);
i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "RE: " + desc);
i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
"\n\n\nSent from Mojo for Android");
startActivity(i);
try this;:::

Send email via gmail

I have a code the fires intent for sending email
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("text/plain");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
new String[] { to });
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, msg);
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(Start.this,
"There are no email clients installed.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
But when this intent is fired I see many item in the list like sms app , gmail app, facebook app and so on.
How can I filter this and enable only gmail app (or maybe just email apps)?

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.
Example
Intent send = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
String uriText = "mailto:" + Uri.encode("email#gmail.com") +
"?subject=" + Uri.encode("the subject") +
"&body=" + Uri.encode("the body of the message");
Uri uri = Uri.parse(uriText);
send.setData(uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(send, "Send mail..."));

The accepted answer doesn't work on the 4.1.2. This should work on all platforms:
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts(
"mailto","abc#gmail.com", null));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "EXTRA_SUBJECT");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email..."));
Hope this helps.

Igor Popov's answer is 100% correct, but in case you want a fallback option, I use this method:
public static Intent createEmailIntent(final String toEmail,
final String subject,
final String message)
{
Intent sendTo = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
String uriText = "mailto:" + Uri.encode(toEmail) +
"?subject=" + Uri.encode(subject) +
"&body=" + Uri.encode(message);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(uriText);
sendTo.setData(uri);
List<ResolveInfo> resolveInfos =
getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(sendTo, 0);
// Emulators may not like this check...
if (!resolveInfos.isEmpty())
{
return sendTo;
}
// Nothing resolves send to, so fallback to send...
Intent send = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
send.setType("text/plain");
send.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
new String[] { toEmail });
send.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
send.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
return Intent.createChooser(send, "Your Title Here");
}

This is quoted from Android official doc, I've tested it on Android 4.4, and works perfectly. See more examples at https://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-common.html#Email
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);
}
}

Replace
i.setType("text/plain");
with
// need this to prompts email client only
i.setType("message/rfc822");

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts(
"mailto","opinions#gmail.com.com", null));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "IndiaTV News - Mobile App Feedback");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,Html.fromHtml(Settings.this.getString(R.string.MailContent)));
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email..."),0);

How to send emails from my Android application?

I am developing an application in Android. I don't know how to send an email from the application?

The best (and easiest) way is to use an Intent:
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();
}
Otherwise you'll have to write your own client.

Use .setType("message/rfc822") or the chooser will show you all of the (many) applications that support the send intent.

I've been using this since long time ago and it seems good, no non-email apps showing up. Just another way to send a send email intent:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO); // it's not ACTION_SEND
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject of email");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Body of email");
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:default#example.com")); // or just "mailto:" for blank
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); // this will make such that when user returns to your app, your app is displayed, instead of the email app.
startActivity(intent);

I was using something along the lines of the currently accepted answer in order to send emails with an attached binary error log file. GMail and K-9 send it just fine and it also arrives fine on my mail server. The only problem was my mail client of choice Thunderbird which had troubles with opening / saving the attached log file. In fact it simply didn't save the file at all without complaining.
I took a look at one of these mail's source codes and noticed that the log file attachment had (understandably) the mime type message/rfc822. Of course that attachment is not an attached email. But Thunderbird cannot cope with that tiny error gracefully. So that was kind of a bummer.
After a bit of research and experimenting I came up with the following solution:
public Intent createEmailOnlyChooserIntent(Intent source,
CharSequence chooserTitle) {
Stack<Intent> intents = new Stack<Intent>();
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts("mailto",
"info#example.com", null));
List<ResolveInfo> activities = getPackageManager()
.queryIntentActivities(i, 0);
for(ResolveInfo ri : activities) {
Intent target = new Intent(source);
target.setPackage(ri.activityInfo.packageName);
intents.add(target);
}
if(!intents.isEmpty()) {
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(intents.remove(0),
chooserTitle);
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS,
intents.toArray(new Parcelable[intents.size()]));
return chooserIntent;
} else {
return Intent.createChooser(source, chooserTitle);
}
}
It can be used as follows:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("*/*");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(crashLogFile));
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {
ANDROID_SUPPORT_EMAIL
});
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Crash report");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Some crash report details");
startActivity(createEmailOnlyChooserIntent(i, "Send via email"));
As you can see, the createEmailOnlyChooserIntent method can be easily fed with the correct intent and the correct mime type.
It then goes through the list of available activities that respond to an ACTION_SENDTO mailto protocol intent (which are email apps only) and constructs a chooser based on that list of activities and the original ACTION_SEND intent with the correct mime type.
Another advantage is that Skype is not listed anymore (which happens to respond to the rfc822 mime type).

To JUST LET EMAIL APPS to resolve your intent you need to specify ACTION_SENDTO as Action and mailto as Data.
private void sendEmail(){
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:" + "recipient#example.com")); // You can use "mailto:" if you don't know the address beforehand.
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "My email's subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "My email's body");
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email using..."));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(Activity.this, "No email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

The solution to this is simple: the android documentation explains it.
(https://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-common.html#Email)
The most important is the flag: it is ACTION_SENDTO, and not ACTION_SEND
The other important line is
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:")); ***// only email apps should handle this***
By the way, if you send an empty Extra, the if() at the end won't work and the app won't launch the email client.
According to Android documentation. If you want to ensure that your intent is handled only by an email app (and not other text messaging or social apps), then use the ACTION_SENDTO action and include the "mailto:" data scheme. For example:
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);
}
}

The strategy of using .setType("message/rfc822") or ACTION_SEND seems to also match apps that aren't email clients, such as Android Beam and Bluetooth.
Using ACTION_SENDTO and a mailto: URI seems to work perfectly, and is recommended in the developer documentation. However, if you do this on the official emulators and there aren't any email accounts set up (or there aren't any mail clients), you get the following error:
Unsupported action
That action is not currently supported.
As shown below:
It turns out that the emulators resolve the intent to an activity called com.android.fallback.Fallback, which displays the above message. Apparently this is by design.
If you want your app to circumvent this so it also works correctly on the official emulators, you can check for it before trying to send the email:
private void sendEmail() {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO)
.setData(new Uri.Builder().scheme("mailto").build())
.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{ "John Smith <johnsmith#yourdomain.com>" })
.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Email subject")
.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Email body")
;
ComponentName emailApp = intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager());
ComponentName unsupportedAction = ComponentName.unflattenFromString("com.android.fallback/.Fallback");
if (emailApp != null && !emailApp.equals(unsupportedAction))
try {
// Needed to customise the chooser dialog title since it might default to "Share with"
// Note that the chooser will still be skipped if only one app is matched
Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send email with");
startActivity(chooser);
return;
}
catch (ActivityNotFoundException ignored) {
}
Toast
.makeText(this, "Couldn't find an email app and account", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
}

Sending email can be done with Intents which will require no configuration. But then it will require user interaction and the layout will be a bit restricted.
Build and sending a more complex email without user interaction entails building your own client. The first thing is that the Sun Java API for email are unavailable. I have had success leveraging the Apache Mime4j library to build email. All based on the docs at nilvec.

Here is the sample working code which opens mail application in android device and auto-filled with To address and Subject in the composing mail.
protected void sendEmail() {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:feedback#gmail.com"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Feedback");
if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivity(intent);
}
}

I use the below code in my apps. This shows exactly email client apps, such as Gmail.
Intent contactIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts("mailto", getString(R.string.email_to), null));
contactIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, getString(R.string.email_subject));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(contactIntent, getString(R.string.email_chooser)));

This will show you only the email clients (as well as PayPal for some unknown reason)
public void composeEmail() {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"hi#example.com"});
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Body");
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send mail..."));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

This is how I did it. Nice and simple.
String emailUrl = "mailto:email#example.com?subject=Subject Text&body=Body Text";
Intent request = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
request.setData(Uri.parse(emailUrl));
startActivity(request);

I used this code to send mail by launching default mail app compose section directly.
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
i.setType("message/rfc822");
i.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL , new String[]{"test#gmail.com"});
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT , "body of email");
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

This function first direct intent gmail for sending email, if gmail is not found then promote intent chooser. I used this function in many commercial app and it's working fine. Hope it will help you:
public static void sentEmail(Context mContext, String[] addresses, String subject, String body) {
try {
Intent sendIntentGmail = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntentGmail.setType("plain/text");
sendIntentGmail.setData(Uri.parse(TextUtils.join(",", addresses)));
sendIntentGmail.setClassName("com.google.android.gm", "com.google.android.gm.ComposeActivityGmail");
sendIntentGmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, addresses);
if (subject != null) sendIntentGmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
if (body != null) sendIntentGmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);
mContext.startActivity(sendIntentGmail);
} catch (Exception e) {
//When Gmail App is not installed or disable
Intent sendIntentIfGmailFail = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntentIfGmailFail.setType("*/*");
sendIntentIfGmailFail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, addresses);
if (subject != null) sendIntentIfGmailFail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
if (body != null) sendIntentIfGmailFail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);
if (sendIntentIfGmailFail.resolveActivity(mContext.getPackageManager()) != null) {
mContext.startActivity(sendIntentIfGmailFail);
}
}
}

This is the most clean way of sending email on Android.
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO).apply {
data = Uri.parse("mailto:")
putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, arrayOf("email#example.com"))
putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject")
putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Email body")
}
if (intent.resolveActivity(packageManager) != null) {
startActivity(intent)
}
You also need to specify in your manifest (outside your application tag) the query for applications that handle email (mailto)
<queries>
<intent>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" />
<data android:scheme="mailto" />
</intent>
</queries>
If you need to send HTML text in the email body, please replace the "Email body" with your email string, something like this (please beware that Html.fromHtml maybe deprecated this was only for show you how to do it)
Html.fromHtml(
StringBuilder().append("<b>Hello world</b>").toString()
)

simple try this one
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
buttonSend = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonSend);
textTo = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextTo);
textSubject = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextSubject);
textMessage = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextMessage);
buttonSend.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String to = textTo.getText().toString();
String subject = textSubject.getText().toString();
String message = textMessage.getText().toString();
Intent email = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { to });
// email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_CC, new String[]{ to});
// email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_BCC, new String[]{to});
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
// need this to prompts email client only
email.setType("message/rfc822");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(email, "Choose an Email client :"));
}
});
}

Other solution can be
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
emailIntent.setClassName("com.google.android.gm", "com.google.android.gm.ComposeActivityGmail");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"someone#gmail.com"});
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Yo");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hi");
startActivity(emailIntent);
Assuming most of the android device has GMail app already installed.

Use this for send email...
boolean success = EmailIntentBuilder.from(activity)
.to("support#example.org")
.cc("developer#example.org")
.subject("Error report")
.body(buildErrorReport())
.start();
use build gradle :
compile 'de.cketti.mailto:email-intent-builder:1.0.0'

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts(
"mailto","ebgsoldier#gmail.com", null));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Forgot Password");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "this is a text ");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email..."));

This method work for me. It open Gmail app (if installed) and set mailto.
public void openGmail(Activity activity) {
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
emailIntent.setType("text/plain");
emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"+activity.getString(R.string.mail_to)));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, activity.getString(R.string.app_name) + " - info ");
final PackageManager pm = activity.getPackageManager();
final List<ResolveInfo> matches = pm.queryIntentActivities(emailIntent, 0);
ResolveInfo best = null;
for (final ResolveInfo info : matches)
if (info.activityInfo.packageName.endsWith(".gm") || info.activityInfo.name.toLowerCase().contains("gmail"))
best = info;
if (best != null)
emailIntent.setClassName(best.activityInfo.packageName, best.activityInfo.name);
activity.startActivity(emailIntent);
}

*/
public static void sendEmail(Context context, String[] emails, String subject, boolean forceGmail) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
i.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, emails);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
if (forceGmail && isPackageInstalled(context, "com.google.android.gm")) {
i.setPackage("com.google.android.gm");
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
} else {
try {
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
Toast.makeText(context, "No email app is installed on your device...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
/**

*
* #param context current component context.
* #param packageName The package name you would like to check.
* #return True if this package exist, otherwise False.
*/
public static boolean isPackageInstalled(#NonNull Context context, #NonNull String packageName) {
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
if (pm != null) {
try {
pm.getPackageInfo(packageName, 0);
return true;
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return false;
}

Try this:
String mailto = "mailto:bob#example.org" +
"?cc=" + "alice#example.com" +
"&subject=" + Uri.encode(subject) +
"&body=" + Uri.encode(bodyText);
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse(mailto));
try {
startActivity(emailIntent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
//TODO: Handle case where no email app is available
}
The above code will open the users favourite email client prefilled with the email ready to send.
Source

The code below works on Android 10 devices and higher. It also sets the subject, body and recipient(To).
val uri = Uri.parse("mailto:$EMAIL")
.buildUpon()
.appendQueryParameter("subject", "App Feedback")
.appendQueryParameter("body", "Body Text")
.appendQueryParameter("to", EMAIL)
.build()
val emailIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri)
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Select app"))

Kotlin version which only shows Email clients (no contacts etc.):
with(Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND)) {
type = "message/rfc822"
data = Uri.parse("mailto:")
putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, arrayOf("user#example.com"))
putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"YOUR SUBJECT")
putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "YOUR BODY")
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(this, "Send Email with"))
} catch (ex: ActivityNotFoundException) {
// No email clients found, might show Toast here
}
}

import androidx.core.app.ShareCompat
import androidx.core.content.IntentCompat
ShareCompat.IntentBuilder(this)
.setType("message/rfc822")
.setEmailTo(arrayOf(email))
.setStream(uri)
.setSubject(subject)
.setText(message + emailMessage)
.startChooser()

Filtering for 'real' E-Mail Apps is still an issue today. As many people mentioned above, other apps nowadays also report to support the mime-type "message/rfc822". Therefore, this mime-type is not suitable any more to filter for a real E-Mail App.
If you want to send a simple text mail, it is enough to use the the ACTION_SENDTO intent action with the appropriate data type like so:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, recipients);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send Mail");
context.startActivity(chooser);
This will filter all available apps for those that support the 'mailto' protocol, which is much more suitable for the purpose of sending an E-mail.
But sadly things become complicated, if you want to send a mail with (multiple) attachments. The ACTION_SENDTO action does not support the EXTRA_STREAM extra on the intent. If you want to use that, you must use the ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE action, which does not work together with the the data type Uri.parse("mailto:").
For now I found a solution, which consists of the following steps:
Declare that your App wants to query Apps on the device, that support the mailto protocol (important for all Apps since Android 11)
Actually query all Apps, that support the mailto protocol
For each supporting App: Build the intent that you actually want to launch, aiming for that single App
Build the App chooser and launch it
And this is how it looks in code:
Add this to the AndroidManifest:
<queries>
<intent>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" />
<data android:scheme="mailto" />
</intent>
</queries>
This is the Java code:
/* Query all Apps that support the 'mailto' protocol */
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
Intent emailCheckerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("mailto:"));
List<ResolveInfo> emailApps = pm.queryIntentActivities(emailCheckerIntent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
/* For each supporting App: Build an intent with the desired values */
List<Intent> intentList = new ArrayList<>();
for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : emailApps) {
String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
intent.setPackage(packageName);
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(packageName, resolveInfo.activityInfo.name));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, recipients);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, attachmentUris);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION); //IMPORTANT to give the E-Mail App access to your attached files
intentList.add(intent);
}
/* Create a chooser consisting of the queried apps only */
Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(intentList.remove(intentList.size() - 1), "Send Mail");
Intent[] extraIntents = intentList.toArray(new Intent[0]);
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, extraIntents);
context.startActivity(chooser);
Note: If the itentList only has one item, Android will automatically skip the chooser and run the only App automatically.

Using Android Intent.ACTION_SEND for sending email - android

I'm using Intent.ACTION_SEND to send an email. However, when I call the intent it is showing choices to send a message, send an email, and also to send via bluetooth. I want it to only show choices to send an email. How can I do this?

Intent email = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND); email.setType("application/octet-stream"); EDIT: You could try setting the type to "message/rfc822" as well. try this...

Using message/rfc822 type as pointed here: ACTION_SEND force sending with email solves the issue.

try with ACTION_VIEW not ACTION_SENDTO , ACTION_VIEW will makes system calls only to Email Apps Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
