View 10 RepliesI have my work email setup in the email app. Ive never had an issue sending email on any phone ive had before.
All of my settings are correct and i can receive them fine.
They just sit in outbox and whenever i go select them all and tell it to send selected messages nothing happens. They don't send and I don't get any error or anything.
my application is not a service, it's a normal application, with some windows and some stuff. i dont wanna make it a service cos is too munch complicated and i prefeer to avoid it then, if my application is not a service, when it goes to background (home key pressed for example), it continues working (sending/getting data from internet)? i ask this because i read this on a developer guide tutorial: "Because an Activity can perform actions only while it is active and in focus, you should create your status bar notifications from a Service"

`Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND`);
This will launch the builtin application of android, I'm trying to send the mail on button click directly without using this app.
I've hit my first real usability snag with the G1.I tried to send a word processing file to someone via the gmail client on the G1 today, and found that I could select only photos and no other file type for attachments.So I fired up the browser and went to the desktop version of the gmail web site, and in the composition window, the button under the attachments section is captioned "Uploads Disabled" instead of the usual "Browse."Does anyone have a workaround for emailing non-jpeg attachments? This is a feature that I need to use on practically a daily basis. Any developers out there working on an email client, please support this feature.

public static void sendFile(Context context) { File exportDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "mydir"); if (!exportDir.exists()) { exportDir.mkdirs(); } String csvFile = exportDir + "/file.csv"; File file = new File(csvFile); if(file.exists()) { Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "CSV file"); sendIntent.setType("text/csv"); //sendIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION); //sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/mydir/file.csv")); sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/ mydir/file.csv")); context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Send CSV file")); } else { Util.displayToast(context, R.string.no_csv_file); } }
I started a thread that wound up in the Droid X Troubleshooting forum, but I think this is an Android problem, not a Droid X problem... I'm having read receipt issues with the stock Gmail app (it won't let me send them and it auto-sends them to people who request them of me, without giving me the option of sending or declining). In addition, I'm pretty disappointed with the Gmail app, especially when compared to the Blackberry's handling of Gmail. Blackberry's only gmail issue is when you send an email to someone through gmail you get a copy regardless of whether you want one or not.
I'm really concerned about this and would love to find an alternative -- K9 doesn't appear to be compatible with GMail so even if I wanted to I couldn't use that. Anyone have any suggestions? The web interface, incidentally, doesn't feature read receipts -- already considered logging in to send important emails that way. I'm guessing if there's no alternative then the only alternative is to return to my Blackberry for the time being :-/
Is it possible to set up a form in an application and have the person filling out the form send the information to you? If so could I get some examples?

In my application, on click of a button, I start an intent to send email. I have set the "To" list, "Subject" and attachment in my coding. Now my problem is that when the email screen is shown, user should not be able modify the email contents nor should he be allowed to remove the attachment. Only he should be able to click on "Send" button.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to send an email using native email client on android phone. I have tried following ways to add an attachment to the mail.
Method 1 Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setType("image/jpeg"); sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://sdcard/ abc.jpg"));
Method 2
Sending the image as body content
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "<HTML><BODY><b><IMG SRC= "data:image/jpeg;base64," + <imagepath> + ""alt = "pleaseview this image"/></b></BODY></HTML>");
I can successfully attach the image manually but when I tried to attach and send it programmatically the mail was sent without attachment.
I'd like users to be able to send emails from my app and the client would like the message body to be html-formatted. They look nicer and the message includes a rather ugly url that would be better placed inside an anchor tag.
I've seen some older queries on the web asking how to do this but have not been able to find a definitive answer.
Is it possible to use an Intent.ACTION_SEND (or some other method) to send an email pre-set with an html-formatted message body?
I am trying a simple send mail application using apache commons library.
Here is the code.
The email sending code is working fine in a standalone application.However when I try to run it as android application
It gave following error message. trouble processing "javax/naming/AuthenticationException.class": [2009-09-17 05:33:20 - Commons]
Attempt to include a core VM class in something other than a core library. It is likely that you have attempted to include the core library from a desktop virtual machine into an application, which will most assuredly not work. If you really intend to build a core library -- which is only appropriate as part of creating a full virtual machine binary, as opposed to compiling an application -- then use the "--core-library" option to suppress this error message. If you go ahead and use "--core-library" but are in fact building an application, then please be aware that your build will still fail at some point; you will simply be denied the pleasure of reading this helpful error message.

I'm creating an app that has an "export" feature which converts the user's data into a CSV file, and allows the user to send it as an attachment to somebody (presumably themselves).
The CSV file is created successfully, but when I try to send the email, I encounter a problem. The device looks like it is going to send the email with the appropriate attachment, but when the email is received... there is no attachment at all...
Here is the code I am using to send the email:

In my android Application,I need to send the email, for the body content i need to use Speech Recognition. how to do this.Please give me the solution for this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just copy the code from http://www.openintents.org/en/node/121 to test if I can send .txt or .mp3 file as email attachment, Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); sendIntent.setType("audio/mp3"); sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, "file:///sdcard/mysong.mp3"); sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject"); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Title:"));
But I got an error said that No applications can perform this action. My android sdk is cupcake1.5, and I have already set up my gmail acount in Email application. Anyone knows why? If I set the type as "*/*"(sendIntent.setType("*/ *");), it can launch the Email activity but with no attachment.
I often find myself wanted to text a message...either text or perhaps a picture attachment through the Messaging service...to not only a mobile number but to an EMAIL ADDRESS as well. I have a couple friends who prefer getting pictures on their computer instead of their phone so I might address the MMS to a few mobile phone number and then want to enter an EMAIL ADDRESS in my text message. On my old phone..as a matter of fact ALL my previous phones (Palm Centro, Couple Samsungs, Sanyo, etc...both smartphones and not-so-smart phones) I was able to type in, e.g., my name "Scott" and popup would show not only my mobile number but my EMAIL ADDRESS to select to use as an address in my SMS or MMS message.
HOWEVER, my my EVO, if I type in a contact name that has an associated email address ONLY THE MOBILE NUMBER comes up as a possible address for my text message. If I want to send to an email address (which you CAN do...text to email works fine...and vice versa) I have to M-A-N-U-A-L-L-Y type the whooooooole email address each and every time. I do NOT think there is a "setting" to change this but IS there a setting or some sort of workaround trick so that when I type a contact name with an email address the EMAIL OPTION is available in a text message "To" field??
I followed this stackoverflow thread to implement EmailSender using Javamail on Android. But I am still getting this exception: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 465. I am using Android 1.6.

I have to write an email app that should send a mail to the particular mail id.
I have written a code like this...
It is working fine, I mean sending the mail to the receiver.
But it is launching another Email app (android default app I guess). But I don't want it to be launched, I want directly send the mail to recipient.
My mail goal is that, the user should not know that the mail is sending. The default Email app (android's) should not be visible to the user. The mail sent process should be done in background.
I have 2 email ac's Tesco & Wanadoo (Orange). I can receive fine but I can't send, keep getting server errors on both ac's all the time. For the outgoing settings do I use the Tosca & Wanadoo (i.e smtp.tesco.net) or do I use my mobile network provider settings?

Is there something I need to set up so I can do this? Or does anyone know what the address would be for a Sprint user? I seen some on the web and tried it using my info but it did not work. Always came back saying invalid address.
