Howto Direct Email with from Edit Text box

[b4afan]

I have seen this code sample for email out a file.
What about direct email out contents from several user entered text response,
hit a button and send to email.

Dim Message As Email
Message.To.Add("[email protected]")
Message.Subject = "title text"
Message.Body = "(testing)"
Message.Attachments.Add(File.Combine(File.DirRootExternal, "all.txt"))
StartActivity(Message.GetIntent) '

You can access the user input with EditText.Text property.
For example:

Dim Message As Email
Message.To.Add(EditText1.Text)
Message.Subject = EditText2.Text
Message.Body = "(testing)"
Message.Attachments.Add(File.Combine(File.DirRootE xternal, "all.txt"))
StartActivity(Message.GetIntent) '

Question about sending email

Please let me know.
Is it possible that the Email have been sent on background ,without activating new screen?
Thanks

Yes, with SMTP: Basic4android Search: SMTP

This seems to activate Gmail by default. What's the way to give the user the option to choose either Gmail, or Mail, or other installed Mail clients?

This intent will start the default application or show the chooser dialog if there is no default application.
You can force the dialog chooser to show by wrapping the intent:

Dim i As Intent
i = Message.GetIntent
i = i.WrapAsIntentChooser("Choose mail client")
StartActivity(i)

B4A compiler returns:

Error description: Cannot assign void value.
Occurred on line: 1631
i = i.WrapAsIntentChooser("Choose mail client")
Word: )

 

[Erel]

It should be:

i.WrapAsIntentChooser("...")

 

[Penko]

Sorry, I correct that and it gave the compiler error at that moment.

Now it compiles fine but still uses Gmail. Is it possible that it's related to my phone? I do have the Mail client installed and I use it intensively.

Maybe your email client doesn't recognize this intent.
