Question

I’ am facing the problem that “Android gmail doesn’t appear in mail intent share list on nexus device(Tablet and phone)”.

      Intent mailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
      mailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, mailTo);
      mailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, buildSubject());
      mailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, buildMessage());
      mailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);
      // mailIntent.setType("image/jpg");
      mailIntent.setType("plain/text");
      // mailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
      startActivity(Intent.createChooser(mailIntent, "send multiple datas"));  

I tried severals types (“image/jpg”, “plain/text”, “message/rfc822”) but nothing

Can someone help me solving this issue

Answer 1

The problem here is that you are using

mailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);

This was just a bug in an old version of the gMail-app. The app wasn’t registered to the intent’s action and so it didn’t appear in the suggested apps list.

By now this bug has been fixed and it works again.
