Try doing it like this:

EditText text;
Button btnSave;
String emailstring;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_checking_intent);
    text = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.email);
    btnSave = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
    btnSave.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            emailstring = text.getText().toString();
            Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            i.setType("message/rfc822");
            i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL  , new String[]{"recipient@example.com"});
            i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject of your email");
            i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT   , emailstring);
            try {
                startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
            } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
                Toast.makeText(CheckingIntent.this, "There are no email app installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        }

try like this

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
   Button button=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);
  final   EditText editText=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);

   button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
       @Override
       public void onClick(View v) {
           Intent intent =new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
           intent.setType("text/plain");
           intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,editText.getText().toString());
           startActivity(intent);
