Send an Email |
This recipe shows how to send an email using an Intent. |
|
Follow these steps to send an email.
- Create an Intent with an
ActionSendaction.
var email = new Intent (Android.Content.Intent.ActionSend);
- Add email extras to the intent’s payload.
email.PutExtra (Android.Content.Intent.ExtraEmail,
new string[]{"person1@xamarin.com", "person2@xamrin.com"} );
email.PutExtra (Android.Content.Intent.ExtraCc,
new string[]{"person3@xamarin.com"} );
email.PutExtra (Android.Content.Intent.ExtraSubject, "Hello Email");
email.PutExtra (Android.Content.Intent.ExtraText,
"Hello from Xamarin.Android");
- Set the intent’s mime type to
message/rfc822.
email.SetType ("message/rfc822");
- Start the Activity with the intent;
StartActivity (email);
Setting the intent’s mime type to message/rfc822 causes the mail
application to launch. If multiple applications are capable of handling mail,
the user will get a list to choose from.
