Android Studio mailto Intent doesn't show subject and mail body

Question

I\'m trying to send an e-mail from my Android App. With the click on a button, gmail should open and show a new email with my previously defined recipient, subject and email

Answer 1

Our old code for emails stopped working some days ago.

It was the following:

public static void shareTextToEmail(Context context, String[] email, String subject, String text)
    Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("mailto:" + TextUtils.join(",", email)));
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, email);
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
    try {
        context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, context.getString(R.string.share_email_title)));
    } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException e) {
        Toast.makeText(context, context.getString(R.string.share_no_intent_handler_found), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

I've adopted it according to the Zak.Antonio answer:

public static void shareTextToEmail(Context context, String[] email, String subject, String text)
    Intent selectorIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
    selectorIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));

    final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, email);
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
    emailIntent.setSelector(selectorIntent);

    try {
        context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, context.getString(R.string.share_email_title)));
    } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException e) {
        Toast.makeText(context, context.getString(R.string.share_no_intent_handler_found), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

The key points are:

• Replace Intent.ACTION_SENDTO with Intent.ACTION_SEND in emailIntent
• Move Intent.ACTION_SENDTO to a selectorIntent
• Do not put emails in intent data, put them only in extras at Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL
