ACTION_SENDTO for sending an email
Solution 1:
If you use ACTION_SENDTO
, putExtra()
does not work to add subject and text to the intent. Use setData()
and the Uri
tool add subject and text.
This example works for me:
// ACTION_SENDTO filters for email apps (discard bluetooth and others)
String uriText =
"mailto:[email protected]" +
"?subject=" + Uri.encode("some subject text here") +
"&body=" + Uri.encode("some text here");
Uri uri = Uri.parse(uriText);
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
sendIntent.setData(uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Send email"));
Solution 2:
Actually I found a way where the EXTRAs work. This is a combination of an answer I found here regarding ACTION_SENDTO
http://www.coderanch.com/t/520651/Android/Mobile/no-application-perform-action-when
and something for HTML which I found here:
How to send HTML email (but the variant of how to use ACTION_SENDTO in this HTML post didn't work for me - I got the "action not supported" which you are seeing)
// works with blank mailId - user will have to fill in To: field
String mailId="";
// or can work with pre-filled-in To: field
// String mailId="[email protected]";
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,
Uri.fromParts("mailto",mailId, null));
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject text here");
// you can use simple text like this
// emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Body text here");
// or get fancy with HTML like this
emailIntent.putExtra(
Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
Html.fromHtml(new StringBuilder()
.append("<p><b>Some Content</b></p>")
.append("<a>http://www.google.com</a>")
.append("<small><p>More content</p></small>")
.toString())
);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email..."));
Solution 3:
You Can Try This One
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts(
"mailto", emailID, null));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
Subject);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
Text);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, Choosertitle);
It Works For me
