How to send email newsletter from android application programmatically

Question

I am trying to send an HTML table through email, but what i only get is a string with the HTML code. I read about email newsletter a little but i didn't figure out how to make it work in my android test application.

I have a regular table that insert into String string.

String string = "<table border='1' align='center'><tr style='color:blue'><th>Day</th><th>Date</th><th>Start Time</th><th>End Time</th><th>Total Time</th></tr><tr><td align='center'>Sunday</td><td align='center'>19/07/2011</td><td align='center'>13:00</td><td align='center'>19:00</td><td align='center'>06:00</td></tr></table>";    
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/html");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, getSenderList());
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, mContext.getText(R.string.app_name));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(string));
mContext.startActivity(intent);

Someone can please point me how to do that?

Thanks

If you are sending emails through that Intent params like above, it will not work in emulator. That intent code works only on real device. — Ravi Bhatt, Jul 31 '11 at 08:12
Thanks, but i already tried it in a real device and it also didn't work. It sends the mail but what i get on the other side is HTML code text. — Moshik L, Jul 31 '11 at 08:24

Check out the following question: Send HTML mail using Android intent.

If you want to use the default mailer, change your code to the following:

    String body = "<table border='1' align='center'><tr style='color:blue'><th>Day</th><th>Date</th><th>Start Time</th><th>End Time</th><th>Total Time</th></tr><tr><td align='center'>Sunday</td><td align='center'>19/07/2011</td><td align='center'>13:00</td><td align='center'>19:00</td><td align='center'>06:00</td></tr></table>";

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
    intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:" + getSenderList()));
    intent.setType("text/html");
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, mContext.getText(R.string.app_name));
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(body));
    mContext.startActivity(intent);
