How to open email or any other mail app with intent in android compose

How can I open email app in another screen "tab"?

When I send a reset link from my app, I just want to open the email app for the user. I don't want to call an Intent with the SENDTO action because the user will not be sending any mail

I just want to navigate user from my app to email app (received emails).

Solution

  • This worked for me

    val launcher = rememberLauncherForActivityResult(
    contract = ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult(),
    onResult = { /* Do something when user comes back in app */ }
)

Button(
    onClick = {
        val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN).apply {
            addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_APP_EMAIL)
            addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)
        }
        launcher.launch(intent)
    },
    content = { Text("Button") },
)
