I am trying to implement email compose in the Android app using Kotlin, I want HTML formatted text in email compose. I don't know for what reason I am not getting Bold text even using tags. Just an FYI my
tag is working properly. Please help me out with this. Following is my code. Thanks in advance.

val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND)enter code here
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Email Invite")
 intent.putExtra(
                Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
                Html.fromHtml(StringBuilder()
                .append("<b>Hello!</b> <br/><br/>")
                .append("<b>Welcome to the app!</b> <br/>")
                .toString())
 )

Maybe you should put `` before `Hello...`, and close with ``? BTW, newline in HTML is `
` – D.Kastier Mar 30 '21 at 14:04
No ...... is not working. – Shreyas Anil Chaudhari Mar 30 '21 at 15:02
Have a look here, a lot of people seem to be suggesting Gmail doesn't support this anymore. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53113165/html-fromhtml-not-working-with-bold-text-in-body-while-share-intent-in-email – Muhammad Faiq Mar 30 '21 at 15:13
Have you tried concatenating strings in place of `StringBuilder`? – Varsha Kulkarni Mar 31 '21 at 19:05
