Hi,

i open the email app with this code.
I think, the first time I get a dialog to choose the app.
I selected the notes app.
Now it always open the notes app.
First, how can I prefend this dialog . It should open always gmail.
Second how can I change back via script , without deinstall .



B4X: 
Dim msg As Email

    subject=en.desc_plaintext & " - " & en.Title
  
    msg.Subject=subject
    msg.Body= gl_BODY
    msg.To.Add(gl_EMAIL)
  
    StartActivity(msg.GetIntent)

I know this, but the users are no programmers, maybe old people. When they quickly choose the wrong app ....
So is there no way to say open gmail ...., nothing else ?

You can check the GMail packagename and start the app manually. But i dont know how to define the intent to send a mail in this case.

But i dont know a way to change the setting the user used. You can not change the setting programmatically.

tested on my device 4.4 & 4.2
didnt work ..

just use this code to see the right intent for different android version
B4X: 
Dim pm As PackageManager

For Each em As String In pm.QueryIntentActivities(msg.getintent)
    
        Log(em)
    Next
