Android - Opening the email application?

Question

I want to open the email application on my android app: The following code crashes Am I doing anything wrong? please provide code

Intent i = new Intent (Intent.A         


        

Answer 1

/* Create the Intent */
final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);

/* Fill it with Data */
emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"to@email.com"});
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Text");

/* Send it off to the Activity-Chooser */
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));

Try this, it is a bit more clear. Nonetheless intent for emails only works if you are using the application in a real phone, so if you are using the emulator, try it on a real phone.
