Try this one, Perfect


public void shareToGMail(String email, String subject, String content) {
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, email);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
emailIntent.setType("text/plain");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, content);
final PackageManager pm = activity.getPackageManager();
final List<ResolveInfo> matches = pm.queryIntentActivities(emailIntent, 0);
ResolveInfo best = null;
for(final ResolveInfo info : matches)
if (info.activityInfo.packageName.endsWith(".gm") || info.activityInfo.name.toLowerCase().contains("gmail"))
best = info;
if (best != null)
emailIntent.setClassName(best.activityInfo.packageName, best.activityInfo.name);
activity.startActivity(emailIntent);
}





That answer works for me.

Not sure about the need for the chooser. This is from one of my apps...


final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("plain/text");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String{"jimblackler@gmail.com"});
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, content);
activity.startActivity(intent);





Note that setType should be text/plain not plain/text (otherwise you get an ActivityNotFoundException). Thanks for the tip!

Try this code


Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts(
"mailto", "abc@gmail.com", null));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "This is my subject text");
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, null));

You can't bypass this popup programatically. What will happen if a user tries to access the functionality and doesn't have GMail configured?



If you want to bypass is just remove all other email clients so that GMail is the only one that can send/recieve emails. That way the popup will not appear.





yes, There must be not, if Gmail is not configured. But how can I remove all other client from my device?

If you have several mail composer in your android device and you just want Gamil composer start for your request, you have to


emailIntent.setClassName("xxxgamil composer package name xxx", "xxxgmail composer class name xxx");
startActivity(emailIntent);





I found the code. It look like your code Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND); intent.setType("text/plain"); final PackageManager pm = getPackageManager(); final List<ResolveInfo> matches = pm.queryIntentActivities(intent,0); ResolveInfo best=null; for (final ResolveInfo info : matches) if (info.activityInfo.packageName.endsWith(".gm") || info.activityInfo.name.toLowerCase().contains("gmail")) best=info; if (best!=null) intent.setClassName(best.activityInfo.packageName, best.activityInfo.name); startActivity(intent);

if you already specified the class name, you should got the composer activity directly, doesn't it?

Below code worked for me. This will search for an email client and directly launch the new email composer with the sent values pre-populated. If no email client exists then then that should be caught to avoid crash.



The good think about this solution is that, on back press it takes you directly to your app screen where the email intent was started from.


Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("mailto:"));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Your Subject");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "The message");
try {
startActivity(intent);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Mail account not configured", Toast.LENGHT_SHORT).show();
}



Thank you!

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this: run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it. The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select.

Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...
