Android: Using Intent To Send Email - Only Offering Email Applications Doesnt Work

i am trying to create an intent activity that sends an email. Using public void emailSend(View view){ Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); emailInte

Solution 1:

When I use intent android.content.Intent.ACTION_SENDTO doesn't work for me because it shows many apps, some apps are not email clients. I found this way and it works perfectly for me.

IntenttestIntent=newIntent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);  
Uridata= Uri.parse("mailto:?subject=" + "text subject" + "&body=" + "text content" + "&to=" + "email@example.com");  
testIntent.setData(data);  
startActivity(testIntent);

Solution 2:

This is code that I have working:

IntentintentMail=newIntent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intentMail.setType("message/rfc822");
intentMail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, newString[]{
                    "mailto@email.com" }); // the To mail.
intentMail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject goes here");
intentMail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Content goes here");

// now we have created the mail, lets try and send it.try {
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intentMail, "Message to User to do what next"));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
    Toast.makeText(Activity.this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

If this does not work, let me know. Oh, do you have the error logs?

*edit, this is where I found my code, so doublicate. Source

I see only email clients when using the next approach:

IntentemailIntent=newIntent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
    emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, newString [] {someaddress@gmail.com}); 
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"Email subject"));
    Intentchooser= Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Mail to ..");
    if (emailIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
        startActivity(chooser);
    }
    else//Do something if there's no Email client

Finally after trying a variation of all these posts, I came up with this which works nicely:

funsendEmail(context: Context, email: String, subject: String = "") {
    try {
        context.startActivity(
            Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO).apply {
                data = (Uri.parse("mailto:$email"))
                    .buildUpon()
                    .appendQueryParameter(
                        "subject", subject
                    ).appendQueryParameter(
                        "to", email
                    )
                    .build()
            }
        )
    } catch (e: Exception) {
        Timber.e("failed to open mail client")
    }
}

Solution 5:

This would do the job!

Intentintent=newIntent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("plain/text");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, newString[] { "some@email.address" });
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "mail body");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, ""));
