ACTION_SEND force sending with email

Question

every time i create an action for sending an email from my app, it prompts to many options including a QR client...

Is there a way to force sending via email clients onl

Answer 1

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:?to=email&subject=hello&body=hello%20world"));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send via..."));

you can try this:::::

Answer 2

Intent.setType("plain/text");

At first when I spotted this I immediately though it was a mistake and it was meant to be text/plain, but this is actually the correct way to only display E-mail clients in the application list.

Give it a try and see for yourself.

Answer 3

It will show all the available app installed on android phone which can perform sharing or send a link from webview to others. Like - Gmail, facebook, imo, whatsapp, messenger etc.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
String shareLink = webView.getUrl();
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareLink);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share via..."));

But when you force to open mail app only :

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"something@gmail.com"});

try {
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "send mail"));
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
    Toast.makeText(this, "No mail app found!!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
} catch (Exception ex) {
    Toast.makeText(this, "Unexpected Error!!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
}
