you are facing these problem becoz you are not setting your content properly.The error occuring bcoz of thses line : message.setContent("" + "" + title + "" + qty + " * " + cost + "" + " = " + total + " " + "", total); Please check thses link : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5177045/getting-parseexception-on-transport-sendmessage — Neha.R, Jan 09 '13 at 06:19

As per the Javadoc, , while you need text/html.As your are using MimeMessage#setContent(), you need to add "text/html;charset==utf-8" at message.setContent();

message.setContent(someHtmlMessage, "text/html; charset=utf-8");

Note that the HTML should not contain the <html>, <head> or <body>. Gmail will ignore it.

message.setContent( "<tr>
                        <td>" + title + "</td>
                        <td>" + qty + "*" + cost+ "</td>
                        <td>" + "=" + total + "</td>
                    </tr>",   "text/html;charset=utf-8");

As `MimeMessage#setContent` sets `text/plain` by default so just use these `message.setContent("Hi Krishna"); or try these message.setContent(Hi Krishna)`. – Vikalp Patel Jan 09 '13 at 06:39

    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("message/rfc822");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL  , new String[]{"recipient@example.com"});
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject of email");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT   , "body of email");
try {
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
    Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

you can try like this.

  String mailContent = "mailto:" + mailTo + "?subject=" + subject + "&body=" + body;

  Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW", Uri.parse(mailContent));
  startActivity(intent);

I think this will help you.

Intent email = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"youremail@yahoo.com"});          
    email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject");
    email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "message");
    email.setType("message/rfc822");
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(email, "Choose an Email client :"));

You are having only one Recipient in the To field, so you should use setRecipient method and not setRecipients.
Try this:

message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(mercy.krishnaxxxdsdveni@gmail.com));

Hope this helps!!
