I used javamail to send email in android. But it throws the Exception NetworkOnMainThreadException. How to solve this exception?
MainActivity
package com.aaa;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private Mail m;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
m = new Mail("[email protected]", "pwd");
}
public void sendEmail(View view){
String[] toArr = {"[email protected]"};
m.setTo(toArr);
m.setFrom("[email protected]");
m.setSubject("subject");
m.setBody("your message goes here");
try {
//m.addAttachment("/sdcard/myPicture.jpg");
if(m.send()) {
// success
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Email was sent successfully.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
// failure
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Email was not sent.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
} catch(Exception e) {
// some other problem
//Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Email was not sent.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(e);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, ""+e+"", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.e("SendMail",e.getMessage(),e);
}
}
}

You need to use an AsyncTask to do all your network operations.
Your network operation can take a lot of time and the UI would get unresponsive if it is done on the main UI thread. And if your UI freezes for a long time, the app might get killed by the OS.
Thus Android 4+ makes it mandatory to use a background thread to perform network operations.
Put the code to do the network activity inside doInBacground() and all the AsyncTask using execute().
Here is how your AsyncTask would look like :
private class SendMail extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, Void> {
protected void doInBackground() {
sendEmail();
}
protected void onProgressUpdate() {
//called when the background task makes any progress
}
protected void onPreExecute() {
//called before doInBackground() is started
}
protected void onPostExecute() {
//called after doInBackground() has finished
}
}
And you can call it anywhere using new SendMail().execute("");
