Email Activity

How to send Email : 

In order to send email you need to write following piece of code. We created an Intent Object email that uses Intent.ACTION_SEND to call an existing email client to send an Email.

Note :

Run & test on real device only.

If you run this on emulator, you will hit error message : “No application can perform this action“. This code only work on real device.

MainActivity.java : 

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

       EditText et_to,et_subject,et_msg;

       Button send;

      

       @Override

       protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

              super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

              setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

             

              send = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

              et_to = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextTo);

              et_subject = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextSubject);

              et_msg = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextMessage);

              send.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                    

                     @Override

                     public void onClick(View arg0) {

                                 

                           String to = et_to.getText().toString();

                           String sub = et_subject.getText().toString();

                           String msg = et_msg.getText().toString();

                          

                           Intent email = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

                           email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{to});

                           email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, sub);

                           email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, msg);

                           email.setType("message/rfc822");

                           startActivity(Intent.createChooser(email, "sending email.."));

                     }

              });

             

             

       }

       @Override

       public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

              // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.

              getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);

              return true;

       }

}
