How do I launch the email app with the "to" field pre-filled?

Question

I tried this code which I found here:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts("mailto", "[email protected]", null)); startActivity(intent);

But I get a message on the screen which reads "Unsupported Action". Any ideas of how to get this working?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Did you try

Intent intent = new Intent(
    Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,
    Uri.parse("mailto:[email protected]")
);
startActivity(intent);

Answer 2

Try this snippet:

/* Create the Intent */
final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);

/* Fill it with Data */
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");

/* Send it off to the Activity-Chooser */
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));

Key pieces: using EXTRA_EMAIL for your addresses and using createChooser() in case the user has more than one email client configured.
