Android Question "android.intent.extra.EXTRA_EMAIL"

[MotoMusher]

First, is there a way in search (this forum, top right) to only return exact matches?

I am trying to send an email via intent. It works fine, except the "TO" field. Stack overflow says I need an array of strings. Have tried several ways to no avail.

Any suggestions?

In.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.EXTRA_EMAIL",  Array As String("[email protected]"))

Try this:

android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL

 

[MotoMusher]

That didn't work either

    In.PutExtra("android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL",  Array As String("[email protected]"))

Ok, wasn't sure, besides I'm not at my developing PC so I can't test anything

 

[MotoMusher]

No worries. Appreciate the thought. I've tried 20 things, happy to try 20 more. I suspect issue is in the string array

Why don't you use the Email object from the Phone library?

 

[NJDude]

You are using the wrong constant, it should be this one:

android.intent.extra.EMAIL

That worked NJDude. Thanks. I thought I tried that, but it may have been with a different method of the array.

Erel, to answer your question, there was no real reason, I ran across the intent version and it worked so I went with it. I was using the NET library for SMTP, but i just get too many failure responses where google kicks an error back, but the message sends anyway, and then I have to resubmit a duplicate email to ensure it went, or prompt the user with a bunch of failures so they can check if it was sent and it's not going over well at all. Usually happens with lower levels of connectivity, but not always. This new one I am working on needs to ensure that the emails, and only sends once, so the intent method is what I am using. It's a little kludgy having the user click send in the email, but it is what it is. I may explore the email option from Phone since you suggested it however.

The Email object from the Phone library is based on the intent solution.
