Users tap on the icon for whatever mail client (Mail, Gmail, K-9, etc.) they want. > Not to compose a message but to just call mail or gmail? > Is it not possible? There is no generic Intent to open "the mail client" inbox view. There is a generic ACTION_SEND Intent action that can bring up the message composer. There is also nothing stopping the community from collecting the details of every mail client out there and crafting their own generic Intent (possibly even with a chooser dialog). I am not aware of anyone in the community doing this, however. And even if they did, that community code may break when Google updates Mail or Gmail, since the Intent to open each of those apps is not part of the SDK and therefore is subject to change. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
