this will send email via any installed mail client.

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("message/rfc822");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL  , new String[]{"recipient@gmail.com"});
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT   , "body");
try {
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send e-mail..."));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
    //you have no mail client
}

Throw an email implicit intent. Then available email clients will send the email for you.

If you want to create your own email client you can use JavaMail to send emails from your own application
