Activity classLet's write the code to send email via intent. File: MainActivity.java
package com.example.sendemail;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
EditText editTextTo,editTextSubject,editTextMessage;
Button send;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
editTextTo=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
editTextSubject=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText2);
editTextMessage=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText3);
send=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
send.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
String to=editTextTo.getText().toString();
String subject=editTextSubject.getText().toString();
String message=editTextMessage.getText().toString();
Intent email = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{ to});
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
//need this to prompts email client only
email.setType("message/rfc822");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(email, "Choose an Email client :"));
}
});
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
