Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL not populating the To field

Question

I am trying to use an intent to send an email from my application but the To field of the email will not populate. If I add code to fill in the subject or text, they work fine.

Answer 1

In Kotlin - Android

fun sendMail(
        activity: Activity,
        emailIds: Array,
        subject: String,
        textMessage: String
    ) {


        val emailIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND)
        emailIntent.type = "text/plain"
        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, emailIds)
        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject)
        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, textMessage)
        emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822")
        try {
            activity.startActivity(
                Intent.createChooser(
                    emailIntent,
                    "Send email using..."
                )
            )
        } catch (ex: ActivityNotFoundException) {
            Toast.makeText(
                activity,
                "No email clients installed.",
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
            ).show()
        }
    }

Also you can use [ val emailIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO) ] to invoke direct email client

//argument of function
val subject = "subject of you email"
val eMailMessageTxt = "Add Message here"

val eMailId1 = "emailId1@gmail.com"
val eMailId2 = "emailId2@gmail.com"
val eMailIds: Array = arrayOf(eMailId1,eMailId2)

//Calling function
sendMail(this, eMailIds, subject, eMailMessageTxt)

I hope this code snippet will help to kotlin developers.
