Question

I am developing an android app which sends an email to the different people based on selection made
So I want the TO field of the email to be changed based upon the selection made.

So I am loading the email id into a string called emailaddress after the selections are made

Now I kept as follows

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                i.setType("text/plain");
                i.setType("application/octet-stream");
                i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL ,emailaddress);

But the TO address is being left blank. I confirmed that email address is loading into the string by a toast but it is simply not appearing the TO 🙁

How to solve this problem?

Thanking You
Yours Sincerely,

You have a bug in EXTRA_EMAIL, because it accepts only String[] parameter instead String. Example:

public static void sendMail(Activity activity, String recipient, String subject, String body)
{
    Intent mail_intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    mail_intent.setType("message/rfc822");
    mail_intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{recipient});
    mail_intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
    mail_intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);
    activity.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(mail_intent, "Preferovaná aplikácia pre zaslanie e-mailu..."));
}
