I think the best way is to create a LinearLayout vertical, and insert three EditText with hint. For the third field (Compose mail), you can change the weight of the widget to fill the parent.

Don't forget to put the height of your layout to "FILL_PARENT"

Hope it'll help you.

Change type to "text/plain" instead of "message/rfc822" following the code snippet:

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);                emailIntent.setType("text/plain");
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,new String[] { "yourid@gmail.com"});
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Choose an Email client :"));

if u check this in emulator use android version 2.2 and above it works for me
