Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); intent.setType("text/html"); intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, "[email protected]"); intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject"); intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "I'm email body."); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send Email"));
The above code opens a dialog showing following apps:- Bluetooth, Google Docs, Yahoo Mail, Gmail, Orkut, Skype etc.
Actually, I want to filter these list-options. I want to show only email related apps e.g. Gmail, Yahoo Mail. How to do it?
I've seen such example on 'Android Market' application.
The dialog shows only email Apps e.g. Gmail, Yahoo Mail etc. It does not show Bluetooth, Orkut etc. What code produces such dialog?
When you construct an intent, you must specify the action you want the intent to perform. Android uses the action ACTION_SEND to send data from one activity to another, even across process boundaries. You need to specify the data and its type.
An intent is to perform an action on the screen. It is mostly used to start activity, send broadcast receiver,start services and send message between two activities. There are two intents available in android as Implicit Intents and Explicit Intents. Here is a sample example to start new activity with old activity.
UPDATE
Official approach:
public void composeEmail(String[] addresses, String subject) { Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO); intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:")); // only email apps should handle this intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, addresses); intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject); if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) { startActivity(intent); } }

OLD ANSWER
The accepted answer doesn't work on the 4.1.2. This should work on all platforms:
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts( "mailto","[email protected]", null)); emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject"); emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Body"); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email..."));
Update: According to marcwjj, it seems that on 4.3, we need to pass string array instead of a string for email address to make it work. We might need to add one more line:
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, addresses); // String[] addresses
There are three main approaches:
String email = /* Your email address here */ String subject = /* Your subject here */ String body = /* Your body here */ String chooserTitle = /* Your chooser title here */
1. Custom Uri
:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("mailto:" + email) .buildUpon() .appendQueryParameter("subject", subject) .appendQueryParameter("body", body) .build(); Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, chooserTitle));
2. Using Intent
extras:
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("mailto:" + email)); emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject); emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body); //emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_HTML_TEXT, body); //If you are using HTML in your body text startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Chooser Title"));
3. Support Library ShareCompat
:
Activity activity = /* Your activity here */ ShareCompat.IntentBuilder.from(activity) .setType("message/rfc822") .addEmailTo(email) .setSubject(subject) .setText(body) //.setHtmlText(body) //If you are using HTML in your body text .setChooserTitle(chooserTitle) .startChooser();
