Calling data from textview in android studio java

Question

I am currently writing an app with a simple form that when you click submit, an e-mail is opened and the data entered into the textviews is automatically populated into the message body.

protected void sendEmail() {

            EditText nameField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.nameField);
            String nameValue = nameField.getText().toString();

            EditText dateField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.dateField);
            String dateValue = dateField.getText().toString();

            EditText ahsField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.ahsField);
            String ahsValue = ahsField.getText().toString();


            Log.i("Send email", "");
            String[] TO = {""};
            Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

            emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
            emailIntent.setType("text/plain");
            emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, TO);
            emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Your subject...");
            emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "MESSAGE BODY HERE?");

            try {

                startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
                finish();
                Log.i("Finished sending email", "");
            } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
                Toast.makeText(DDActivity.this, "There is no email client installed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

        }

This is what i have so far, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you mean that you want to fill the subject, and text from your textviews? Please set the textviews names so it will be understandable. — motis10, Oct 17 '17 at 11:35

The following code works just tried it

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("message/rfc822");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"foo@bar.com"});
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject of email");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT   , "body of email");
try {
  startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Choose email...");
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
    // handle edge case where no email client is installed
}
