how to receive the input details (contact form) entered in Android application in my gmail?

Question

I am doing a android application. I want the inputs in the contact form to be received in my personal mail account. I have tried several other codes. But the issue is when I hit the submit button, the mail interface will pop up. I do not want this. I want exactly how we see in the website, where we fill all the details in the contact form and the details have to be received in the personal mail or the company mail. Please help. The code is as follows.

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/contacttext"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
    android:textSize="20sp"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:text="@string/contacttext" />

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/edit_name"
    android:layout_width="290dp"
    android:layout_height="40dp"
    android:layout_below="@id/contacttext"
    android:layout_marginLeft="18dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:background="@drawable/shape"
    android:hint="@string/namehint" />

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/edit_phone"
    android:layout_width="290dp"
    android:layout_height="40dp"
    android:layout_below="@id/edit_name"
    android:layout_marginLeft="18dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="12dp"
    android:background="@drawable/shape"
    android:hint="@string/phone"
    android:inputType="phone" />

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/edit_email"
    android:layout_width="290dp"
    android:layout_height="40dp"
    android:layout_below="@id/edit_phone"
    android:layout_marginLeft="18dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="12dp"
    android:background="@drawable/shape"
    android:hint="@string/email"
    android:inputType="textEmailAddress" />

<Spinner
    android:id="@+id/Spinner"
    android:layout_width="290dp"
    android:layout_height="40dp"
    android:layout_below="@id/edit_email"
    android:layout_marginLeft="18dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="12dp"
    android:background="@drawable/shape" >
</Spinner>

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/message"
    android:layout_width="290dp"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:layout_below="@id/Spinner"
    android:layout_marginLeft="18dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="12dp"
    android:background="@drawable/shape"
    android:inputType="text" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/submit"
    android:layout_width="90dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_below="@id/message"
    android:layout_marginLeft="105dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="12dp"
    android:background="@drawable/newshape"
    android:text="@string/submit"
    android:textSize="18sp"
    android:textStyle="normal" />

Answer 1

When you call Intent, you can think of it equivalent to anchor with mailto.

How do you send details from contact form to your mail id without user intervention normally?

Having a server side script to handle the post request with all the details like message title,body,to address etc. right ?

You should use the same approach in this case too.

Extract values from EditText and make post request to your remote server(if you already have otherwise you need to setup one) and on the server side trigger a mail. (this is quite easy in any server side language)

Note: Since you are dealing everything yourself. Make sure you always handle error cases like Network unavailability or invalid paramters or Internal server error etc and also showing either "Message sent" or "Retry"
