How to send HTML email
android, android-intent, email, html-email
Solution
You can pass `Spanned` text in your extra. To ensure that the intent resolves only to activities that handle email (e.g. Gmail and Email apps), you can use `ACTION_SENDTO` with a Uri beginning with the mailto scheme. This will also work if you don't know the recipient beforehand:
final Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("mailto:"));
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "The Subject");
shareIntent.putExtra(
Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
Html.fromHtml(new StringBuilder()
.append("<p><b>Some Content</b></p>")
.append("<small><p>More content</p></small>")
.toString())
);
Problem
i found a way to send plain text email using intent: ``` final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND); emailIntent.setType("text/plain"); emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"example@mail.com"}); emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject"); emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Test"); ``` But I need to send HTML formatted text. Trying to setType("text/html") doesn't work.
