How to open the default mail inbox from android code?

Question

I\'m trying to link a button to the mail app. Not to send mail, but just to open the inbox.

Should I do this with Intent intent = new Intent(...)?

Answer 1

You can open Android default e-mail client using this:

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("text/plain");
emailIntent.setClassName("com.android.email", "com.android.email.activity.Welcome");
emailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(emailIntent);
