Javamail api did not send any mail

Question

I am using the link for sending html email from my android application. But it does not send any mail. Here i have an html page saved in sdcard and it is used as body content of html .What is the problem?How can i solve this?

Then what does your logcat says? have u checked it? have u added these 1) activation.jar 2) additionnal.jar 3) mail.jar in to ur project build path and INTERNET PERMISSION in your manifest?(in the mentioned link I have seen these) — Randroid, Sep 19 '12 at 09:43
Yes.I have.when click on send button it does not show any response. — Asha Soman, Sep 19 '12 at 09:48
Check your log on the button click to know whats the exact problem and post ur logcat messages , so that people can help you!!! — Randroid, Sep 19 '12 at 09:53
is it possible to send html content using javamail api without using Html.fromHtml() — Asha Soman, Sep 19 '12 at 10:17
YES, you can, I have already mentioned you to post the logcat messages but u didn"t, ok then Instead of using text/plain , try to use text/html in this line DataHandler handler = new DataHandler(new ByteArrayDataSource( body.getBytes(), "text/plain")); of gmailsender.java and check wether its working or not — Randroid, Sep 19 '12 at 10:24
it does not show any exception in the logcat output.I am tried using text/html .But no result — Asha Soman, Sep 19 '12 at 10:42

public void sendMail(){
                String tempAddress = emailTo.getText().toString();
                String[] toArr = tempAddress.split(",");
                String FROM = emailFrom.getText().toString();
                String SUBJECT = emailSubject.getText().toString();

                boolean valid = false;
                for (int counter = 0; counter < toArr.length; counter++) {

                    if (isValidEmail(toArr[counter])) {
                        valid = true;
                    } else {
                        valid = false;
                    }
                }
                if (valid && isValidEmail(FROM)) {
                    Mail m = new Mail("username",
                            "password");
                    m.setTo(toArr);
                    m.setFrom(FROM);
                    m.setSubject(SUBJECT);
                    m.setBody("<html><body bgcolor='#FFFFFF'>your html content</body></html>");
                    try {
                        if (m.send()) {
                            Toast.makeText(context,
                                    "A test Email was sent successfully.",
                                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        } else {
                            Toast.makeText(context, "Email was not sent.",
                                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        }
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        Toast.makeText(context,
                                "There was a problem sending the email.",
                                Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }
                    finish();

                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(context, "Please enter a valid e-mails.",
                            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            }

Use the above code to send the mail and Create a Class Mail in ur package like below:-
