ACTION_SEND force sending with email

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("text/html");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
new String[] { "[email protected]" });
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
                    "Subject of the Mail");
emailIntent.putExtra( android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
                           "This is my sample Mail");
emailIntent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.dir/email");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Email:"));

else use this it will shows only the mail clients,

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
new String[] { "[email protected]" });
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
                    "Subject of the Mail");
emailIntent.putExtra( android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
                           "This is my sample Mail");
//emailIntent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.dir/email");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Email:"));

Try to setType message/rfc822 instead of text/plain

I think you should change the setType to

i.setType("message/rfc822") ;

Even though it's too late for @thepoosh, but it may be helpful for future questioners. After a lot of searching and testing, I finally found a good solution. Thanks to the Open source developer, cketti for sharing his/her concise solution.

String mailto = "mailto:[email protected]" +
    "?cc=" + "[email protected]" +
    "&subject=" + Uri.encode(subject) +
    "&body=" + Uri.encode(bodyText);

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse(mailto));

try {
  startActivity(emailIntent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
  //TODO: Handle case where no email app is available
}

This is the link to his/her gist.
