Android Question Mail.GetIntent damaged?

[chrjak]

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("Example@Example.com")
list1.Add("Example2@Example2.com")
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:

Dim in As Intent
in.Initialize("android.intent.action.SENDTO", "mailto:")
in.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.EMAIL", Array As String("email@example.com"))
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

 

[Erel]

Try it in a new project and put this code in Activity_Click. If it doesn't work then please upload the project.

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?

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

 

[Erel]

The Email type uses a different intent.

 

[chrjak]

Is it possible to use the email intent?

 

[Erel]

You will get the same results as you get with the Email object.

 

[chrjak]

Yes thats right ^^ I forgot about this...

in.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.SUBJECT", "this is the subject")
in.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT", "this is the body")
StartActivity(in)

Hey

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

 

[Erel]

but that doesn't work

Which code have you tried?

 

[chrjak]

Which code have you tried?

Intent.PutExtra("Android.intent.EXTRA_STREAM", uri)

 

[DonManfred]

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

 

[DonManfred]

Not providing the code you are using does not help us to help you.

You should create a small project (and upload it) which shows the problem. And post the error you get.

It's crashing because Cursor doesn't become initialized
