Try

send.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
        emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{ address.getText().toString()});
        emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject.getText().toString());
        emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, emailBody.getText().toString());
        emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_BCC, CC.getText().toString());
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
    }
});

EditText.getText() return a editable you need to change it to String by applying toString();

As you can see in the getting the address you got the text by .getText(); then you made it a string for other uses, because it was an editable text from editText. But in the other EditTextss you forgot to add .toString(); so you can use it as a string in email.

try this:

send.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        emailIntent.setType("plain/text");

        emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{ address.getText().toString()});
        emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject.getText().toString());
        emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, emailBody.getText().toString());
        emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_BCC, CC.getText().toString());

        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
    }
});

please ask if you didn't understand

are you sure about the **.EXTRA_BCC** & the ediText **CC.** ? — Ahmed Ekri, Aug 22 '13 at 11:00

Will work 100%

String[] to = value.toString().split(",");
        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        i.setType("text/html");
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, to);
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_BCC, "array of bcc like to");
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, String.format(getString(R.string.share_email_subject), IN_SHARE_CAPTION));
        i.putExtra(
                Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
                Html.fromHtml(IjoomerUtilities.prepareEmailBody(message == null ? "" : message, getSmartApplication().readSharedPreferences().getString(SP_USERNAME, "") + " " + getString(R.string.saw_this_story_on_the) + " "
                        + getString(R.string.app_name) + " " + getString(R.string.thought_you_should_see_it), IN_SHARE_CAPTION, IN_SHARE_DESCRIPTION, IN_SHARE_SHARELINK, getString(R.string.try_ijoomeradvance), getString(R.string.site_url))));
        try {
            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
            finish();
        } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
            ting(getString(R.string.share_email_no_client));
        }
