Question

I am writing an app that needs to send emails at the end of each transaction. I am doing the following:

Intent mail = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
mail.setType("text/html");
mail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { emailTo });
mail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Send from Android");
mail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Sent from Android");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(mail,"Select Email Software..."));

What I would like to do is pre-select the email software and store it in a setting. That way, every time the email is being sent, it does not have to ask the user which email to use. I just can’t seem to figure out how to invoke the chooser and get the selected value.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You would have to create your own chooser, possibly as an AlertDialog populated using the results of calling queryIntentActivities() on PackageManager.
