how send email from android application directly?

Question

I want the email to be sent immediately, currently the application is showing me installed email applications in device where I can recompose the email before sending, I want to send the mail directly without showing installed applications.

I Know javamail but need email .. other user can decompiler app and theft email :)

Honestly, it's a pain in the ass. Try using intents. Very easy. I posted here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4883199/using-android-intent-action-send-for-sending-email/30657337#30657337 — A P, Jan 30 '17 at 16:44

The way to go is to send the mail via some server, not directly from the device. You would, for example, connect to a REST API that sends out the email for you. Sending an email directly from the device from the user's email address is not (and should not be) possible

There are two ways to send email from android application directly without any intent

using SMTP & JavaMail API follow the link for details
using Webservice( for example PHP script ) so there is a server side code and you hit that URL with param like ( name,subject etc) so basically PHP code send mail at the end and it's very easy to use .

Personally, I suggest you use Webservice because it's simpler than first approach.

** Edit: You can save email in sharedpreferences or database and fetch it from there when you try to send mail rather than hardcoding it to avoid theft email risk.(directly putting mail address inside code)

Anyway you can prevent other from getting your full source code.See this answer
