单击 Gmail 后退按钮时将用户带回应用程序

Question

I am navigating my app user to Gmail app when he clicks on a certain link inside my app. The redirection is working fine. But when the user hits the back button on the device or the toolbar of Gmail, he is redirected to Gmail inbox instead of getting the user back to my app.

I am doing something like so :-

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

Is there a way the user can be taken back to my app instead of Gmail inbox when clicked on back button, or some other solution to achieve this functionality? Any help is appreciated

I am not sure if it is possible as you redirect the user to the another app which is another scope. Handling of the back button should be Gmail App's business then.

I also would like to know if there is any way to do it.

String mailto = "mailto:mailaddress1@domain.com" +
                "?cc=" + "mailto:mailaddress2@domain.com" +
                "&subject=" + Uri.encode("subject") +
                "&body=" + Uri.encode("text is here");

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse(mailto));

try {
    startActivity(emailIntent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) 
    //TODO: Handle case where no email app is available
}

I have tried to send an e-mail using Gmail App. After sending an e-mail, I got back to my app but I have not found any way to implement an action for back button.

Old question but you need to open the Gmail app in new task. add this flag to your intent. intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)
