Android Question Send an email is starting sharing option

[Vinians2006]

Hello friends, I am using Email object to send an email but when the users clicks on the button it opens the shareing and the user need to select a lot of options. I want to start gmail directly, any solution to that ? See the code:

    If Not (G.Registrado) Then
        Private emlMsg As Email
        emlMsg.To.Add("test@server.com")
        emlMsg.Subject = "Subject"
        emlMsg.Body = "Message body"
        StartActivity(emlMsg.GetIntent)
    End If

Yes, but I do not want to use this solution because I distribute my app directly and dont use google play. But thank you for your help.

What if the user doesn't use GMail? Or what if (like me) they have more than 1 email account & use GMail for one & another mail client for another? You don't want to force them to use GMail - especially if they don't normally use it.

I don't think this solution uses Google Play. It does use OAuth - but that is accessed via the Google APIs console (not the Google Play Developer Console).
