How to Send Email in Android app using Intent | Contact us Form in Android app

In this post, we create a Contact Us form in the Android App. We create 2 Edit text and a Send button to send email in the android app.

We get a subject and message from our app and pass it to the email client.

Create 2 EditText and a Button in activity_main.xml

activity_main.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
 <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
   xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"  
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"  
   android:layout_width="match_parent"  
   android:layout_height="match_parent"  
   android:orientation="vertical"  
   tools:context=".Contact_us">  
   <EditText  
     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
     android:hint="contact@harpreetstudio.com"  
     android:enabled="false"  
     android:padding="10dp"  
     />  
   <EditText  
     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
     android:hint="Subject"  
     android:id="@+id/email_subject"  
     android:padding="10dp"  
     />  
   <EditText  
     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
     android:hint="Message"  
     android:maxLines="4"  
     android:padding="10dp"  
     android:id="@+id/email_message"  
     />  
   <Button  
     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
     android:text="Send"  
     android:id="@+id/email_send"/>  
 </LinearLayout>  

Now, we create an Intent to send values to Email client in you Android.

MainActivity.java

 package studio.harpreet.sampleproject;  
 import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;  
 import android.content.Intent;  
 import android.net.Uri;  
 import android.os.Bundle;  
 import android.view.View;  
 import android.widget.Button;  
 import android.widget.EditText;  
 import android.widget.Toast;  
 public class Contact_us extends AppCompatActivity {  
     EditText et_subject,et_message;  
     Button btn;  
   @Override  
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
     setContentView(R.layout.activity_contact_us);  
     et_subject = findViewById(R.id.email_subject);  
     et_message = findViewById(R.id.email_message);  
     btn = findViewById(R.id.email_send);  
     btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {  
       @Override  
       public void onClick(View v) {  
         String subject = et_subject.getText().toString().trim();  
         String message = et_message.getText().toString().trim();  
         String email = "contact@harpreetstudio.com";  
         if(subject.isEmpty())  
         {  
           Toast.makeText(Contact_us.this, "Please add Subject", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();  
         }  
         else if(message.isEmpty())  
         {  
           Toast.makeText(Contact_us.this, "Please add some Message", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();  
         }  
         else  
         {  
           String mail = "mailto:" + email +  
               "?&subject=" + Uri.encode(subject) +  
               "&body=" + Uri.encode(message);  
           Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);  
           intent.setData(Uri.parse(mail));  
           try {  
             startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Send Email.."));  
           }  
           catch (Exception e)  
           {  
             Toast.makeText(Contact_us.this, "Exception: "+e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();  
           }  
         }  
       }  
     });  
   }  
 }
