Android Question How to check if user sends email

[Startup]

In my app the user presses a button to get a preformatted email to send. Then he has to press "send" in the email application to actually send it (as I understand there is, unfortunately, no way to avoid this additional step). I want to call a sub with alternative actions depending on whether the user actually sends (or cancels) the email Is there a way to check if the user does this or not (ie: capture the send or cancel event)?

No. The email is sent from the third party app. It doesn't raise any event.

You can use SMTP instead and then you will have full control over the mail (though you will not be able to use the user mail server).

Thanks Erel. I tried this with my gmail account and it worked ok after (but not before) I reduced the security on my gmail account. Needless to say, I don't want to have users of my APP using my personal email account so I don't think this is viable solution. I suppose I could set up another Google personal email account for the APP, but that does not seem like a good idea either. What am I missing here?

I don't think that you are missing anything.

OK. Thanks Erel.
