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

This is what I use, and it works for me:

//variables
String subject = "Whatever subject you want";
String body = "Whatever text you want to put in the body";
String intentType = "text/html";
String mailToParse = "mailto:";

//start Intent
Intent variableName = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
variableName.setType(intentType);
variableName.setData(Uri.parse(mailToParse));
variableName.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
variableName.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);

startActivity(variableName);

This will also let the user choose their preferred email app. The only thing this does not allow you to do is to set the recipient's email address.
