What is the purpose of using Intent.createChooser() in StartActivity() while sending email in Android

Question

When ever we need to send an email in Android we will invoke registered email application using Intent.ACTION_SEND like below

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.AC         


        

Answer 1

I personally use:

try {
    startActivity(i);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, null));
}

So it will use default if user has default, will popup "no app" window if no app. Both are happy.
