Cordova email composer doesn't work on Android

Question

I have a big problem with this plugin:

https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-email-composer

when i tried to send email on ios, all work well. but when i tried in Android, it did nothing.. And i receive the callback "email view is dismissed". I tested it on some device with different android version and in a blank project. My simple code:

cordova.plugins.email.open({app: 'mailto'}, function () {
    console.log('email view dismissed');
}, this);

Answer 1

I solved this problem by installing this:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-email-composer.git#0.8.2

and remove the last version.

Answer 2

add the following code at the indicated address, in new versions of android it requests the action of sending mail

...\\platforms\\android\\app\\src\\main\\AndroidManifest.xml

<queries>
    <intent>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" />
    <data android:scheme="mailto" />
    </intent>
</queries>

ignore the ionic part.

--EDIT--

You may try with these steps:

1. Remove the plugin and android platform from your project.

2. Add the email plugin from here: https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-email-composer.git

3. Add the Android platform.

I think the trick is you need to add the plugin before adding the android platform. Sounds silly but worked for me.
