“No Activity found to handle Intent” while emailing data

Question

I am trying to mail data using this code:

email = (Button) findViewById(R.id.enail);
    email.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        publi         


        

Answer 1

There's another subtle cause for this exception to occur.

My app sends an email in two different conditions. One condition I set the To: field - it required Intent.ACTION_SENDTO

But Intent.ACTION_SENDTO causes the described exeption in my other condition where To: is not supplied. In that condition Intent.ACTION_SEND was required.

Answer 2

Call the StartActivity method in the following way:

    Intent emailIntent = new Intent(
                        android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                emailIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
                emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
                        new String[] { "" });
                emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_CC, "");
                emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_BCC, "");
                emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
                        "Playlist Details");
                emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(Detail));
                emailIntent.setType("text/html");

// FOLLOWING STATEMENT CHECKS WHETHER THERE IS ANY APP THAT CAN HANDLE OUR EMAIL INTENT 
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent,
                        "Send Email Using: "));

If System do not find any eamil application, A nice Dialog will be shown:

try to use this for better practice showing a message to the user to setup a mail application.

try{

// you email code here

} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
// show message to user
}

Answer 5

I tested this on my device, and the code works perfectly. And I testet this code on an emulator, too, and it crashed. The problem is that the OS didn't find any activities which can handle this ACTION_SEND. Surround this kind of code all the time with a try/catch, since you can not be sure if there exists such an activity that can handle your intent. And try to install at least one app that can handle the ACTION_SEND, then try again, and see if it works for you.
