One Tap eMail

[luke2012]

Goodmorning community!
It's possible to send an email using only one tap (send button only) ?

Actually I'm using the intent to send email but the user have to do 2 taps in order to send an email.
It's a nice to have but in certain apps it's important because improve the productivity.

Thanks in advance!

You can use POP3 from the Net library. However you will need to ask the user for their account credentials.

Before all, thanks for your reply!
There is a sample about it ?

 

[Erel]

My mistake. You should actually use SMTP. POP3 is for retrieving mails.

For some reason, it seems to work fine with gmail and not very well with other accounts.

'Process_Globals:
Dim SMTP1 As SMTP
Dim server As String    : server= "smtp.gmail.com"
Dim port As Int      : port= 465
Dim emailname As String   : emailname="yourGmailAdress"
Dim password As String   : password="yourpassword"
Dim protocol As String   : protocol="SMTP"
'create
SMTP1.Initialize(server, port, emailname, password, protocol)
SMTP1.UseSSL = True
' sub send:
SMTP1.To.Add (destEmailAdress) 
SMTP1.Subject = "someSubject"
SMTP1.Body = "someText"
SMTP1.AddAttachment(File.DirDefaultExternal, "examle.txt")
SMTP1.Send

 

[Erel]

For Gmail you should add SMTP.UseSSL = True

Can you encrypt or hide the password in the code? It is exposed in the code for anyone to see. Is this a safe way to send a one touch email? Wouldn't you rather have a couple of steps and protect your password or expose it just to save another click. There are other methods.

Vars are in process globals and you won't see them if you compile encrypted

Compile encrypted?

Vars are in process globals and you won't see them if you compile encrypted

Newbie question - how do you "compile encrypted"? Can you explain this a bit more? I'm looking to do the same thing and hide the email account password. Thanks.

What lib do I need? I don't see an SMTP Lib in the list.

Thanks...

-------------------------
I found it...the .Net lib.

Ver 1.20 is the latest?

 

[NJDude]

You need to reference the NET library

 

[rfresh]

I got it just now and ver 1.20 is the latest?

I'm getting this error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Empty writer returned: 530-5.5.1 Authentication Required. Learn more at
530 5.5.1 http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=14257 k7sm13555772oei.0

The http ref is no longer there.

I did add .INTERNET to my manifest.

Saving password to SQLite record

I wish save the user password in an SQLite db.
There is a safe method to do this ?

 

[Erel]

You can encrypt the password and then save it as a BLOB field. It will not be 100% safe as someone decompile your code and use it to extract the password from the database.

can I use other providers ? Or this script works only for GMAIL ?

It work with Yahoo as well. but not with hotmail (compatibility issues)

 

[luke2012]

So this script works for GMAIL & YAHOO andr no other providers?
