Only Email apps to resolve an Intent

I have a problem .. I want only email activities to resolve intent ACTION.SEND but beside email I get other apps as well (e.g TubeMa开发者_运维知识库te) even though I have set the mime type as 'message/rfc822' ... Any idea how can I get Email applications to resolve it ..

---

String recepientEmail = ""; // either set to destination email or leave empty
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:" + recepientEmail));
startActivity(intent);

The point is to use ACTION_SENDTO as action and mailto: as data. If you want to let the user specify the destination email, use just mailto:; if you specify email yourself, use mailto:name@example.com

Suggested method filters all the application, that can send email(such as default email app or gmail)

Here is how I send email with attachments (proved to work with attachments of various MIME types, even in the same email) and only allow email apps (it also has a solution for cases that no app support "mailto"). At first, we try and get activities that support mailto: format. If none are found then we get all activities that supports the message/rfc822 MIME type. We select the default app (if there is a default) or allow the user to select from the available apps. If no app supports mailto: and message/rfc822, then we use the default chooser.

public static void sendEmail(final Context p_context, final String p_subject, final String p_body, final ArrayList<String> p_attachments)
{
    try
    {
        PackageManager pm = p_context.getPackageManager();
        ResolveInfo selectedEmailActivity = null;

        Intent emailDummyIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
        emailDummyIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:some@example.com"));

        List<ResolveInfo> emailActivities = pm.queryIntentActivities(emailDummyIntent, 0);

        if (null == emailActivities || emailActivities.size() == 0)
        {
            Intent emailDummyIntentRFC822 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
            emailDummyIntentRFC822.setType("message/rfc822");

            emailActivities = pm.queryIntentActivities(emailDummyIntentRFC822, 0);
        }

        if (null != emailActivities)
        {
            if (emailActivities.size() == 1)
            {
                selectedEmailActivity = emailActivities.get(0);
            }
            else
            {
                for (ResolveInfo currAvailableEmailActivity : emailActivities)
                {
                    if (true == currAvailableEmailActivity.isDefault)
                    {
                        selectedEmailActivity = currAvailableEmailActivity;
                    }
                }
            }

            if (null != selectedEmailActivity)

                sendEmailUsingSelectedEmailApp(p_context, p_subject, p_body, p_attachments, selectedEmailActivity);
            }

In Android, there's no such thing as an email activity. There's also no intent filter that can be created to include only email applications. Each application (or activity) can define its own intent filters.

So when using intent ACTION_SEND, you'll have to rely on the users intelligence to pickhis favorite email app from the chooser (and not TubeMate).

u can also use:

//writes messages only to email clients
public void setWriteEmailButton() {
    btnWriteMail.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
            i.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
            i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL  , new String[]{mConsultantInfos.getConsultantEMail()});
            i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, mContext.getString(R.string.txtSubjectConsultantMail));
            i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT   , "");
            try {
                startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, mContext.getString(R.string.txtWriteMailDialogTitle)));
            } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
                UI.showShortToastMessage(mContext, R.string.msgNoMailClientsInstalled);
            }
        }
    });
}

have fun (combination of both ;))

This work for me to open only email apps:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:jorgesys12@gmail.com"));
startActivity(intent);

---

Try this

String subject = "Feedback";
            String bodyText = "Enter text email";
            String mailto = "mailto:bob@example.org" +
                    "?cc=" + "" +
                    "&subject=" + Uri.encode(subject) +
                    "&body=" + Uri.encode(bodyText);

            Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
            emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse(mailto));

            try {
                startActivity(emailIntent);
            } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
                //TODO: Handle case where no email app is available
            }

When I use intent android.content.Intent.ACTION_SENDTO doesn't work for me because it shows many apps, some apps are not email clients. I found this way and it works perfectly for me.

Intent testIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);  
Uri data = Uri.parse("mailto:?subject=" + "blah blah subject" + "&body=" + "blah blah body" + "&to=" + "sendme@me.com");  
testIntent.setData(data);  
startActivity(testIntent);

---

This works for me

Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.SENDTO", Uri.fromParts("mailto", "yourmail@gmail.com", null));
intent.putExtra("android.intent.extra.SUBJECT", "Enter Subject Here");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select an email client")); 

---

Please check : https://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-common#ComposeEmail

 String[] sendTo = {}; // people who will receive the email
    String subject = "implicit intent | sending email";
    String message = "Hi, this is just a test to check implicit intent.";
    Intent email = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
    email.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:")); // only email apps should handle this
    email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, sendTo);
    email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);// email subject / title
    email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);//message that you want to send

    // Create intent to show the chooser dialog
    Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(email, "Choose an Email client :");
    // Verify the original intent will resolve to at least one activity
    if (chooser.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
        startActivity(chooser);
    }

This is an absolutely simple and 100% working approach. Thanks to the Open source developer, cketti for sharing this concise and neat solution.

String mailto = "mailto:bob@example.org" +
    "?cc=" + "alice@example.com" +
    "&subject=" + Uri.encode(subject) +
    "&body=" + Uri.encode(bodyText);

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse(mailto));

try {
  startActivity(emailIntent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
  //TODO: Handle case where no email app is available
}

And this is the link to his/her gist.

Here's a code snippet that launches ONLY email apps.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:example@example.com"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "This is the subject"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hi, how're you doing?"));

if (intent.resolveActivity(getActivity().getPackageManager()) != null) {
    startActivity(intent);
}

I hope this helps.

Following three lines of code is sufficient to finish your task, nothing EXTRAS needed. Hope it helps.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:destination_gmail@gmail.com"));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send email using.."));

---

You can also use this. It's more efficient

Intent mailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

  String mailTo[] = new String[] { "MAIL_TO_1", "MAIL_TO_2" };
  mailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, mailTo);
  mailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Your subject");
  mailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "MailsBody");
  mailIntent.setType("plain/text");

  startActivity(Intent.createChooser(mailIntent, "only email client"));

This code sample show only email client which are currently installed on your device
