If you simply want the user to send a mail to you ,the you can use this code. It uses emailIntent

//letting the user write a email to us
            Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
            emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
                    new String[] { "abc@xyz.com" });
            emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
                    "subject of mail");
            emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
                    "Insert your mail content");
            MainMenuActivity.this.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(
                    emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
