Ummmm...are you sure about that? String url="mailto:f...@bar.com?subject=this%20is%20the%20subject&body=This%20is%20the%20body";; This mailto URL works nicely in Firefox (Linux and WinXP) and Internet Explorer (WinXP), and android.net.MailTo parses it just fine. In the case of the browsers, it pops open a message in the default mail program with the addressee, subject, and body populated. However: startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url))); This pops up the mail app chooser (Email vs. Google Mail), as expected. However, neither parse out the subject or the body, leaving those blank. Heck, Mail doesn't even seem to parse out the addressee, leaving that blank; Google Mail has the addressee as "f...@gmail.com". Now, if I use java.net.URLEncoder on the component parts, I get the same mailto: URL, except %20 is replaced by +. If I try that URL, Mail slams the whole mailto: (minus the scheme) in the To: field, and Google Mail behaves as before. Since the use of + signs seems to violate RFC 2368 for mailto: URLs, and since Firefox seemed to like %20 better, I figure that's the better answer. Issue 978 reports the same behavior. I have added these comments there as well. But, if you think this is supposed to work, I feel like I'm missing something. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.9 Published! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
