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?, subject: String?, body: String?, attachments: List?) {
    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:"))

    if (recipients != null) {
        val recipientsArray = arrayOfNulls(recipients.size)
        ArrayList(recipients).toArray(recipientsArray)
        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, recipientsArray)
    }
    if (subject != null) {
        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject)
    }
    if (body != null) {
        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body)
    }
    if (attachments?.isNotEmpty() == true) {
        emailIntent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, ArrayList(attachments))
    }

    if (emailIntent.resolveActivity(context.packageManager) != null) {
        context.startActivity(emailIntent)
    }
}
