Hello Android gurus, I would like to do the following: in my app's 'Help' area, have a button that launches the default email application and lets users drop me an email.
That seems simple huh? Let's just create a new Activity ( code shamelessly stolen from http://www.androidsnippets.org/snippets/29/index.html ) this way: final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND); emailIntent.setType("plain/text"); emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {"[email protected]"}); emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject"); emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Text"); context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail...")); now, that *almost* works. Almost, because there are two problems with it: 1) when user exits the mail application ( either by actually sending the email or simply by pressing the 'BACK' button ) then he gets kicked out of my app entirely ( back to the main screen, while it should go back to my app! ) 2) when having the email application on top, user presses the 'HOME' button, the Android correctly comes back to the main screen. However, when I now re-launch my app, user lands in the mail application again, which is confusing. I would like him to get back to my app's main activity. Adding the following line emailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET); does not help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
