/**

 *
 * @param context    current component context.
 * @param emails     Emails you would like to send to.
 * @param subject    The subject that will be used in the Email app.
 * @param forceGmail True - if you want to open Gmail app, False otherwise. If the Gmail
 *                   app is not installed on this device a chooser will be shown.
 */
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();
        }
    }
}

/**
 * Check if the given app is installed on this devuice.
 *
 * @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;
