Send a mail through an android app

Question

I've implemented a class that can send a mail. However, you can only write a topic and the message and when you click on "Send" you've to choose which app (Outlook or Gmail) you want to send the mail with and then write your e-mail. However, I want to make it possible for the user to send a mail directly from the my app instead of using another app. So I want to make it possible for the user to write his/her e-mail/gmail and message and then send the message to my e-mail. So in other words in the fragment I want an EditText where the user writes his/her e-mail/gmail, another EditText where the user writes the message and a button to send. How can this be implemented?

This is what I have done in my app to send a mail:

   private void sendemail(String message) {
        String [] reciever = new String[]{"myemail@hotmail.com"};
        String subject = ("Feedback/Question");
        Intent mailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        mailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, reciever);
        mailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
        mailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
        mailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(mailIntent, "Choose an application to send your mail with"));
    }

Use this library -> Send email in background. It will send an email from your app without users interaction.

Cheers!

It seems to me that the user needs to sign in with a Gmail account and then send the mail? What about hotmail? Isn't possible to make it send without signing in? – Gal Dak Oct 04 '16 at 12:43

As I understand, the user needs to write his/her password in order to send a mail. Does this also support hotmail/live ? – Gal Dak Oct 04 '16 at 12:35

Use this method....

public void sendEmail()
{

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

intent.setType("message/rfc822");

 intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"care@xyz.com"});

intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "care Feedback");

intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "");

startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send Email"));

}

In this piece of code, what is needed? Only the sender's mail and message? If so, where do I write me as receiver? – Gal Dak Oct 04 '16 at 12:39
Write your email where care@xyz.com is written and use this method where you want. – Vaibhav Purohit Oct 05 '16 at 07:34
Dear, this method does the same as mine.... It uses a native app, and I want it to send directly from the app – Gal Dak Oct 06 '16 at 13:21
