Android: Using Intent to send email - only offering email applications doesnt work

Question

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);
        emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
        emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Nächstes Treffen");
        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,adressListe);
        if (emailIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null){
            startActivity(emailIntent);
        }
    }

offers me more than just the email apps. Using

public void emailSend(View view){
        Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
        emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
        emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Nächstes Treffen");
        emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,adressListe);
        if (emailIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null){
            startActivity(emailIntent);
        }
    }

Nothing happens when i click the button. For

emailIntent.setType("plain/text");

is also tried

emailIntent.setType("messageage/rfc822");

and

emailIntent.setType("*/*");

all with varying results, but none only dislaying the email apps.

Do you have any idea how to solve this? Help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Answer 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.

Intent testIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);  
Uri data = Uri.parse("mailto:?subject=" + "text subject" + "&body=" + "text content" + "&to=" + "[email protected]");  
testIntent.setData(data);  
startActivity(testIntent);

I see only email clients when using the next approach:

    Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
    emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String [] {[email protected]}); 
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"Email subject"));
    Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Mail to ..");
    if (emailIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
        startActivity(chooser);
    }
    else
       //Do something if there's no Email client
