Re: [android-developers] Re: How to open email in app with address
Intent filtering does not consider extras when matching, EXTRA_EMAIL is only useful for specifying the recipient once you're in the target application. Using a mailto:; URI with with ACTION_VIEW or ACTION_SENDTO works well for me, and encoding various email parameters right in the URI seems to be more reliable than using extras (== more email clients get this right). Something like: mailto:user.n...@server.com?subject=Hello+therebody=How+you+doin;. This is the relevant portion from the standard email app's manifest: intent-filter action android:name=android.intent.action.VIEW / action android:name=android.intent.action.SENDTO / data android:scheme=mailto / category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT / category android:name=android.intent.category.BROWSABLE / /intent-filter intent-filter android:label=@string/app_name action android:name=android.intent.action.SEND / data android:mimeType=*/* / category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT / /intent-filter -- Kostya 01.03.2011 2:46, TreKing ?: On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 5:30 PM, Peter Sinnott psinn...@gmail.com mailto:psinn...@gmail.com wrote: Iirc SENDTO gave me mail and gmail as alternatives but SEND either didn't give me mail or gave me a multitude of options most of which were not email specific.

[android-developers] Re: How to open email in app with address
How helpful. A lot of websites say to use ACTION_SEND but I found ACTION_SENDTO works better. Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SENDTO); emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse(mailto:a...@b.com;)); emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, A Subject ); On Feb 28, 8:44 pm, Justin Anderson magouyaw...@gmail.com wrote: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=android+email+intent On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 1:24 PM, brian purgert brianpurge...@gmail.comwrote: I want the person to click on a button and when they click it, it opens up their email and my email address is already there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

* How helpful.* If the OP isn't going to put much time into the question (i.e. doing some stuff to try to figure it out first... such as doing a google search, looking at docs, etc..) then I'm not going to put much time in the answer.
