How can I create chooser Intent to choose from gmail app, yahoo mail app or browser?

Question

I tried to search on Google but didn't find an appropriate answer.

I want to click a TextView and it will show a dialog that allows the user to choose optional email.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Try this:

Intent intet = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                intet.setType("message/rfc822");
                intet.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);
                startActivity(intet);

This will open up a dialog that contains a list of apps installed on the device that can send an email.

Hope this helps. :)

A better option is to use the following, it will only open the applications that provide mail facility and not all apps that can share data.

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); Uri data = Uri.parse("mailto:?subject=" + "subject" + "&body=" + "body" + "&to=" + email_id); emailIntent.setData(data); startActivity(emailIntent);

"subject" is the subject of mail, "body" is the content of the mail, and "email_id" is the id of the receiver of the mail.

You can keep the subject , body and email_id empty if you want the user to fill in the spaces.
