send Email through Android Intent

Question

I have tried to send Email through Android Intent by using below code

    Intent sendIntent = new Intent();

    sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, EmailContent);
    sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, RecipientName );
    sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT , subject );
    sendIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
    sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

    Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(sendIntent , chooser_title );

    if (sendIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
        startActivity(chooser);
    }

In the email app the recipient details are not getting update whereas all the other details such as subject, body is getting updated with my input. Could you please suggest what needs to be done to resolve this.

Answer 1

Try to pass the EXTRA_EMAIL as string array.

Answer 2

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts(
            "mailto","abc@gmail.com", null));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Body");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email..."));

Answer 3

Try using this:- Create String resource for recipients:-

    <string-array name="receipients">
    <item>mgf@kgf.co</item>
    <item>sdf@kgf.co</item>
</string-array>

and use this intent

     Intent gmailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        gmailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        gmailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, resources.getStringArray(R.array.receipients));
        gmailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,subject);
        gmailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, EmailContent);
        gmailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
            gmailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT);
        final PackageManager pm = context.getApplicationContext().getPackageManager();
        final List<ResolveInfo> matches = pm.queryIntentActivities(gmailIntent, 0);
        ResolveInfo best = null;
        for (final ResolveInfo info : matches)
            if (info.activityInfo.packageName.endsWith(".gm") ||
                    info.activityInfo.name.toLowerCase().contains("gmail")) best = info;
        if (best != null)
            gmailIntent.setClassName(best.activityInfo.packageName, best.activityInfo.name);


        try {
           startActivity(gmailIntent);
        } catch (ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
            Toast.makeText(context.getApplicationContext(), getString(R.string.you_do_not_have_gmail_installed), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
