[SOLVED] How to send an email using Gmail API and Java

I have a Web Service deployed on Openshift. Currently what I'm developing is a kind of sending an automated email at a certain point, using my Gmail account.

So I have been documenting myself for two or three days and I've concluded that I've two options:

1) Using JavaMail library. 2) Using Gmail API.

For the first option What I've used is the following classes:

public class EmailSenderService {  
private final Properties properties = new Properties();  

private String password = "*******";  

private Session session;  

private void init() {  

    //ssl
    properties.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
    properties.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
    properties.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class",
            "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
    properties.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
    properties.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");

    session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties,
        new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
            protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                return new PasswordAuthentication("eu***@gmail.com",password);
            }
        });
}  

public void sendEmail(){  

    init();  

    //ssl
    try {
        Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
        message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("eu***@gmail.com"));
        message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                InternetAddress.parse("c***6@gmail.com"));
        message.setSubject("Testing Subject");
        message.setText("Dear Mail Crawler," +
                "\n\n No spam to my email, please!");
        Transport t = session.getTransport("smtp");
        t.connect("smtp.gmail.com", "eu***@gmail.com", password);
        t.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());

        System.out.println("Done");

    } catch (MessagingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }   
}  
}

And calling them using this:

EmailSenderService ess = new EmailSenderService();
        ess.sendEmail();

2) The second option I'm using is the following:

public class EmailSenderGmailApi {

/*
 * Atributos
 */
// Check https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/auth/scopes for all available scopes
private static final String SCOPE = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.compose";
private static final String APP_NAME = "eu***l";
// Email address of the user, or "me" can be used to represent the currently authorized user.
private static final String USER = "eu***@gmail.com";
// Path to the client_secret.json file downloaded from the Developer Console
private static final String CLIENT_SECRET_PATH = "../app-root/data/eu***.json";

private static GoogleClientSecrets clientSecrets;


/*
 * Metodos
 */

public static Gmail init() throws IOException{

    System.out.println("***Working Directory = " + System.getProperty("user.dir"));


    HttpTransport httpTransport = new NetHttpTransport();
    JsonFactory jsonFactory = new JacksonFactory();

    clientSecrets = GoogleClientSecrets.load(jsonFactory,  new FileReader(CLIENT_SECRET_PATH));

    // Allow user to authorize via url.
    GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow flow = new GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow.Builder(
        httpTransport, jsonFactory, clientSecrets, Arrays.asList(SCOPE))
        .setAccessType("online")
        .setApprovalPrompt("auto").build();

    String code = "***";

    // Generate Credential using retrieved code.
    GoogleTokenResponse response = flow.newTokenRequest(code)
        .setRedirectUri(GoogleOAuthConstants.OOB_REDIRECT_URI).execute();
    GoogleCredential credential = new GoogleCredential()
        .setFromTokenResponse(response);

    // Create a new authorized Gmail API client
    return new Gmail.Builder(httpTransport, jsonFactory, credential)
        .setApplicationName(APP_NAME).build();


}

   * @param from Email address of the sender, the mailbox account.
   * @param subject Subject of the email.
   * @param bodyText Body text of the email.

   * @throws MessagingException
   */
  public static MimeMessage createEmail(String to, String from, String subject,
      String bodyText) throws MessagingException {

      System.out.println("***Empezando a enviar email...");

    Properties props = new Properties();
    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);

    MimeMessage email = new MimeMessage(session);
    InternetAddress tAddress = new InternetAddress(to);
    InternetAddress fAddress = new InternetAddress(from);

    email.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
    email.addRecipient(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO,
                       new InternetAddress(to));
    email.setSubject(subject);
    email.setText(bodyText);
    return email;
  }

  /**
   * Create a Message from an email
   *
   * @param email Email to be set to raw of message
   * @return Message containing base64 encoded email.
   * @throws IOException
   * @throws MessagingException
   */
  public static Message createMessageWithEmail(MimeMessage email)
      throws MessagingException, IOException {
    ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    email.writeTo(bytes);
    String encodedEmail = Base64.encodeBase64URLSafeString(bytes.toByteArray());
    Message message = new Message();
    message.setRaw(encodedEmail);
    return message;
  }

  /**
   * Send an email from the user's mailbox to its recipient.
   *
   * @param service Authorized Gmail API instance.
   * @param userId User's email address. The special value "me"
   * can be used to indicate the authenticated user.
   * @param email Email to be sent.
   * @throws MessagingException
   * @throws IOException
   */
  public static void sendMessage(Gmail service, String userId, MimeMessage email)
      throws MessagingException, IOException {
    Message message = createMessageWithEmail(email);
    message = service.users().messages().send(userId, message).execute();

    System.out.println("Message id: " + message.getId());
    System.out.println(message.toPrettyString());
  }

}

The first option, when calling to it, the message which is shown in Openshift COnsole is the following:

javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException
    at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:306)
    at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:156)
    at main.java.model.EmailSenderService.sendEmail(EmailSenderService.java:86)

    ...

I've been trying to fix it by myself, looking at google, stackoverflow... But every change I introduce, the same message I get.

In option 2, I don't know how to use it. I'm trying something like that:

MimeMessage msg = EmailSenderGmailApi.createEmail("ca***@gmail.com", "eu***@gmail.com", "test", "holaaaaa");

        EmailSenderGmailApi.sendMessage(
                EmailSenderGmailApi.init(), 
                "cap***@gmail.com", 
                msg);

Anyway, to be honest I have investigated a lot of Java Mail, I hope someone can give me a hand solving any error I would have.

In relation to Gmail Api, on official documentation I haven't been able to figure out how to send an email. Neither there isn't so much documentation over the internet.

Could somebody lend me a hand?
