Sending email on android via default email application


I am developing an android application that can send email. This following code lets me send email from my default gmail app on android device. I was wondering what the classes i should set so that i can send email from default android mail application?

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent.setClassName("com.google.android.gm","com.google.android.gm.ComposeActivityGmail");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { "abc@gmail.com" });
sendIntent.setData(Uri.parse("abc@gmail.com"));
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "enter subject");
sendIntent.setType("plain/text"); 
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Insert text");
startActivity(sendIntent);

Solution

  • You don't have to. I am using following to send an email with default mail service.

            Uri uri = Uri.parse("mailto:info@yourcompany.com");
            Intent myActivity2 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);                                   
                        myActivity2.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
                    "Customer comments/questions");
            startActivity(myActivity2);
