Hi, i am wondering how its possible to recieve incoming emails on an android device.

i can send out emails using private void sendEmail(String[] address, String subject, String msg) {
Intent send = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
send.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, address);
send.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
send.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, msg);
send.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(send, "MySendMail"));
}


But i cant seem find a way to actually receive incoming new emails or even read emails stored in a n inbox? the only inbox i have seen is the ones for SMS but nothing for emails

Anyone?

Not only for Emails but for SMS messages too. At first i thought i found a way using the SMS_RECIEVED intent but i during further investigation, this intent doesnt exist in the actual android SDK?

Surely there is a way to listen out for new incoming SMS and emails? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

look at the smsmanager class. it provides api to send sms.

if you want to monitor incoming, create a broadcast receiver for
"android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" intent.

good luck,

Thanks it worked! my next question is regarding emails. is there a EMAIL_RECEIVED intent?
