Android Intent Chooser to only show E-mail option

by

To solve this issue simply follow the official documentation. The most important consideration are:

  1. The flag is ACTION_SENDTO, and not ACTION_SEND.

  2. The setData of method of the intent,

    intent.setData(Uri.parse(“mailto:”)); // only email apps should handle this

If you send an empty Extra, the if() at the end won’t work and the app won’t launch the email client.

This works for me. According to Android documentation. If you want to ensure that your intent is handled only by an email app (and not other text messaging or social apps), then use the ACTION_SENDTO action and include the “mailto:” data scheme. For example:

public void composeEmail(String[] addresses, String subject) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
    intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:")); // only email apps should handle this
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, addresses);
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
    if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
        startActivity(intent);
    }
}
