Did anyone get html emails to work? When I try text/html I just get the raw HTML in the message body, it won't render correctly either in the editor (gmail and HTC mail) or once sent. Also I notice HTC mail doesn't honour EXTRA_EMAIL!

[quote="snappy"]Thank you so much for this.

Is there a way to use the "share" intent which is used in the camera application or the picture viewer app so you can send by E-Mail or SMS and bundle the data depending on what is selected?[/quote]

I'm using the above code and can get the Subject and Message Body to work, but not the TO: nor CC: (for CC, I'm using EXTRA_CC).

Am I missing a Manifest permission? Thoughts?

You can try something like this

very useful thanks for the post

if any one know about the custmization of email,then plz help me.
customization means how can i change the color of text in subject area or in Body area of mail.
Thnx in advance.

Hello android, there are ways how you change the color of your text in the body of your email. You can add color codes besides the text you want to customize. That is I usually use to improve my email text codes.

will you please give me some lines of code,that perform this task.

For anyone wanting to add html to emails... Note the type on ln2... the magic happens on line 4 though, see the way we call Htm.fromHtml(String), this will build your HTML text into html the email app gets.

Code: Select all

1   final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
2   emailIntent.setType("text/html");
3   emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
4   emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(body));
5   Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Email:");
6   startActivity(emailIntent);
