Android open emailclient programmatically

Question

Is it possible to open an emailclient such as gmail when I click a button in my app?

Answer 1

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts(
                    "mailto", EMAIL_ADDRESS, null));

up to date way of doing it

        i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, SUBJECT);
        i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, BODY);
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send email"));

Answer 2

This Worked fine for me

Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
                shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,new String[]{"mobiz@gmail.com"} );
                shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Feedback/Support: Speech to text App");
                startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share "));

Answer 3

You can simply use below code when for no attachment:

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
i.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:support@mailname.com")); 
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Feedback/Support");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send feedback"));

Yes. You can launch it via Intents.

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{ emailAddress });
i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send email"));

Answer 5

If above code is not working then try this. Tested and working

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/email"); 
intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{Constants.FEEBBACK_EMAIL_ADDRESS});
intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "SUBJECT");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send mail using..."));
