Hey guys,

When I use Mail.GetIntent some crazy intents like Dropbox or Bluetooth appear. Is this normal? When I open them they cannot handle the mail...

If it's normal: Is there a way to remove single apps from the intent list to remove Dropbox and Bluetooth manually?

Regards

When i create a thread WITHOUT any useful informations of what exactly i did and how- And maybe the information what i expected... No Code showing, nothing.

Is this normal that some people give weird answers then?

Is more information required? There is Code showing: "Mail.GetIntent". Probably thats the code where the error is but i will add an Example Send-Mail Code:

Dim Mail as Mail
mail.Body = "Example Body"
Dim list1 As List
list1.Initialize
list1.Add("[email protected]")
list1.Add("[email protected]")
mail.To = list1
mail.Subject = "Example Subject"
StartActivity(mail.GetIntent)

I guess that you mean As Email instead of As Main.

If you do not need to include attachments then you can use this code:
B4X:
Dim in As Intent
in.Initialize("android.intent.action.SENDTO", "mailto:")
in.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.EMAIL", Array As String("[email protected]"))
in.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.SUBJECT", "this is the subject")
in.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT", "this is the body")
StartActivity(in)

Yeah I mean E-Mail instead of Mail

Somehow when I use your code nothing happens... No window, no selection opens and the app is running on

Ok I tested it and it worked. Now the are only email apps listed but there is another "error"

The App "myMail" doesn't show the "to". the send to field is empty. with the standard function (dim mail as Email) it works...

Is myMail using another intent extra?

Only the app developers can answer this question.

Try it without the array. Maybe they don't support multiple recipients.
Hi,
I tested it but without array no app works. not MyMail and the other ones neither...

Why can "As Email" make it work but a normal intent not? o.o

Hey

And what if we need attachments? I googled and found this
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri)
but that doesn't work

you created a new app, writes only this line and then it does not work? Interesting
Regarding above it's just an additionally added line to the regular code. If there is only that one line of course nothing will work

It's crashing because Cursor doesn't become initialized
