Using Android Intent.ACTION_SEND for sending email

问题:

I'm using Intent.ACTION_SEND to send an email. However, when I call the intent it is showing choices to send a message, send an email, and also to send via bluetooth. I want it to only show choices to send an email. How can I do this?

回答1:

Intent email = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);  
                    email.setType("application/octet-stream");    

EDIT:
You could try setting type to "message/rfc822" as well.

try this....

@Ganapathy:try this code for display gmail

Intent gmail = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                gmail.setClassName("com.google.android.gm","com.google.android.gm.ComposeActivityGmail");
                gmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { "[e-mail]" });
                gmail.setData(Uri.parse("[e-mail]"));
                gmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "enter something");
                gmail.setType("plain/text");
                gmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "hi android jack!");
                startActivity(gmail);

I'm not taking credit for this answer but I believe it gives the best answer for this post.

It's a common misconception to use text/plain or text/html. This will trigger any application that can handle plain or HTML text files without any context, including Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote and Skype.

Instead use a ACTION_SENDTO, providing the mailto: Uri

intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("mailto:"));

You can then proceed using the chooser as suggested through the other answers.

This will help you.

On your button click : 

Intent email = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"[e-mail]"});          
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject");
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "message");
email.setType("message/rfc822");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(email, "Choose an Email client :"));

[Solution for API LEVEL >=15]

I've finally succeded in sending email WITH attachments to ONLY email clients. I write it here because it took me a lot of time and it may be usefull to others.

The problem is:

• Intent.ACTION_SENDTO takes Data URI (so you can specify "mailto:" schema) BUT it does not accept Intent:EXTRA_STREAM.

• Intent.ACTION_SEND accepts Intent:EXTRA_STREAM (so you can add attachment) BUT it takes only Type (not Data URI so you cannot specify "mailto:" schema).

So Intent.ACTION_SEND lets the user choose from several Activities, even if you setType("message/rfc822"), because that App/Activities can manage all file types (tipically GDrive/Dropbox Apps) and so even email message files.

The solution is in the setSelector method. With this method you can use Intent.ACTION_SENDTO to select the Activity, but then send the Intent.ACTION_SEND Intent.

Here my solution code (the attachment came from a FileProvider, but it could be any file):

{
    Intent emailSelectorIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
    emailSelectorIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));

    final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"[e-mail]"});
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
    emailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
    emailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
    emailIntent.setSelector( emailSelectorIntent );

    Uri attachment = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, "my_fileprovider", myFile);
    emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, attachment);

    if( emailIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null )
        startActivity(emailIntent);
}

Using message/rfc822 type as pointed here: ACTION_SEND force sending with email solves the issue.

回答7:

I had a similar problem with my app. I recently found this link form the official android developers site that really helps! Common Intents: Email

TL;DR:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));

Now, you will only be shown email clients!

You can add a Subject and Body by doing this:

intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Body" );

First solution: try to be more specific in your Intent parameters. Add a message recipient for instance

emailIntent .putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {"[e-mail]"});

Second solution: use the package manager to find all applications capable of sending a message and select the only those you want to use.

I notice, that this is an pretty old question but it is the first result when searching for a "Send mail" solution and all answers have a common problem:

Using Intent.ACTION_SEND and intent.setType("message/rfc822") will result in a chooser that not only shows mail apps but all apps that can handle any MIME type support by message/rfc822, e.g. .mhtml, .mht, .mime. Beside mail apps this could be Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, etc.

The only solution I found to limit the chooser to mail apps only is to use Intent.ACTION_SENDTO instead:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts("mailto","[e-mail]", null));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "My Mail");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT   , "My Message");

try {
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Best code to restrict it to only send an email. set this type to only send an email. i.setType("message/rfc822");

        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        i.setType("message/rfc822");
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL  , new String[]{"[e-mail]"});
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject of email");
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT   , "body of email");
        try {
            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
        } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
            Toast.makeText(Firstclass.this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

This is a combination of Jack Dsilva and Jignesh Mayani solutions:

    try
    {
        Intent gmailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        gmailIntent.setType("text/html");

        final PackageManager pm = _activity.getPackageManager();
        final List<ResolveInfo> matches = pm.queryIntentActivities(gmailIntent, 0);
        String gmailActivityClass = null;

        for (final ResolveInfo info : matches)
        {
            if (info.activityInfo.packageName.equals("com.google.android.gm"))
            {
                gmailActivityClass = info.activityInfo.name;

                if (gmailActivityClass != null && !gmailActivityClass.isEmpty())
                {
                    break;
                }
            }
        }

        gmailIntent.setClassName("com.google.android.gm", gmailActivityClass);
        gmailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { "[e-mail]" });
        gmailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
        gmailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_CC, "[e-mail]"); // if necessary
        gmailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Email message");
        gmailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("[e-mail]"));
        this._activity.startActivity(gmailIntent);
    }

    catch (Exception e)
    {
        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { "[e-mail]" });
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_CC, "[e-mail]"); // if necessary
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Email message");
        i.setType("plain/text");
        this._activity.startActivity(i);
    }

So, at first it will try to open gmail app and in case a user doesn't have it then the second approach will be implemented.

This saved my day. It sends composed text message directly to gmail app:

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts(
                        "mailto","togmail.com", null));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Report message");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, edt_msg.getText().toString());
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email..."));

This will open only the Email app installed in your android phone.

        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
        intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
        intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"[e-mail]"});
        intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "email subject");
        intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "message body");

        try {
            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "send mail"));
        } catch (ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "No mail app found!!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Unexpected Error!!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
        }
