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

Using intent.setType("message/rfc822"); does work but it shows extra apps that not necessarily handling emails (e.g. GDrive). Using Intent.ACTION_SENDTO with setType("text/plain") is the best but you have to add setData(Uri.parse("mailto:")) to get the best results (only email apps). The full code is as follows:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:IT@RMAsoft.NET"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Email from My app");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Place your email message here ...");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send Email"));
