Send Email Intent

Question

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType(\"text/html\");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, \"emailaddress@emailaddress.com\");
intent.putExtr         


        

Answer 1

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);
    }
}
