When the navigation drawer opens, the user will want to make a wallpaper request and when he presses the imagebutton, I want him to send an e-mail to test@gmail.com via gmail for now, but test@gmail.com is not added directly to the "to" part of gmail.When I run it on the emulator, the email subject and e-mail text are added, but the recipient e-mail is not added, why?
You're so close here, the only thing that's missing is the Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL
extra. That property is expecting an array of String
values rather than a single String
.
binding.navView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener {
when (it.itemId) {
R.id.requestWallpaper -> {
val emailIntent = Intent().apply {
action = Intent.ACTION_SEND
data = Uri.parse("mailto:")
type = "text/plain"
putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, arrayOf("test@gmail.com"))
putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "request wallpaper")
putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "request wallpaper")
}
if (emailIntent.resolveActivity(this.packageManager) != null) {
emailIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.gm")
startActivity(emailIntent)
} else {
Toast.makeText(
this@MainActivity,
"No app available to send email!!",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
).show()
}
}
}
}
I don't know that you need the type="text/plain"
property either, but it shouldn't hurt anything. Also, if you skip the setPackage
step it'll allow the OS to ask which email app to use.
