I have the following code which used to send text from my app to Email:
Intent mail = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
mail.setClassName("com.google.android.gm","com.google.android.gm.ComposeActivityGmail");
mail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { });
mail.setData(Uri.parse(""));
mail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Country Decryption");
mail.setType("plain/text");
mail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "my text");
ctx.startActivity(mail);
It works , but as you see, it uses Gmail app, how do I make it use Email application instead of Gmail?
I mean this app:
and what about sharing to Facebook ? I found that Facebook does not support sharing using intent anymore, and I have to use Facebook SDK, but I couldn't find any simple procedure to do that. Is there any simple way?
Regards.
well to use other email apps am afraid you would have to create a chooser dialog and let the user choose which app to use, something like this
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts(
"mailto","abc@mail.com", null));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, "address");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Body");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send Email..."));
- You have set Gmail App as your default EMAIL app.
Use Intent.createChooser to list all app that support your intent.
Example :
final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
/* Fill it with Data */
emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"to@email.com"});
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Text");
/* Send it off to the Activity-Chooser */
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
For Facebook you can follow below link.
Android and Facebook share intent
You have to create a specific filter on your ACTION_SEND and you can read a complete answer here.
This is the code in which you can choose which app show in the app chooser
List<ResolveInfo> resInfo = pm.queryIntentActivities(sendIntent, 0);
List<LabeledIntent> intentList = new ArrayList<LabeledIntent>();
for (int i = 0; i < resInfo.size(); i++) {
// Extract the label, append it, and repackage it in a LabeledIntent
ResolveInfo ri = resInfo.get(i);
String packageName = ri.activityInfo.packageName;
if(packageName.contains("android.email")) {
emailIntent.setPackage(packageName);
} else if(packageName.contains("twitter") || packageName.contains("facebook") || packageName.contains("mms") || packageName.contains("android.gm")) {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(packageName, ri.activityInfo.name));
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
if(packageName.contains("twitter")) {
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, resources.getString(R.string.share_twitter));
} else if(packageName.contains("facebook")) {
// Warning: Facebook IGNORES our text. They say "These fields are intended for users to express themselves. Pre-filling these fields erodes the authenticity of the user voice."
// One workaround is to use the Facebook SDK to post, but that doesn't allow the user to choose how they want to share. We can also make a custom landing page, and the link
// will show the <meta content ="..."> text from that page with our link in Facebook.
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, resources.getString(R.string.share_facebook));
} else if(packageName.contains("mms")) {
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, resources.getString(R.string.share_sms));
} else if(packageName.contains("android.gm")) { // If Gmail shows up twice, try removing this else-if clause and the reference to "android.gm" above
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(resources.getString(R.string.share_email_gmail)));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, resources.getString(R.string.share_email_subject));
intent.setType("message/rfc822");
}
intentList.add(new LabeledIntent(intent, packageName, ri.loadLabel(pm), ri.icon));
}
}
This works to intent just the gmail app.
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
sharingIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.gm");
String shareBody = "Here is the share content body";
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject Here");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareBody);
startActivity(sharingIntent);
