             super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                setContentView(R.layout.invoice);

               Button login = (Button) findViewById(R.id.mBtnSubmit);
                 login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                  public void onClick(View arg0) {
                   Properties props = new Properties();

            try {

                Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
                message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[e-mail]"));

                        .size(); i++) {

                        String title = Constants.mItem_Detail
                            .get(i).get(
                                    SingleMenuItem.KEY_PNAME);

                    String qty = Constants.mItem_Detail.get(i)

                    String cost = Constants.mItem_Detail.get(i)
                            .get(SingleMenuItem.KEY_PRICE);

                    String total = Constants.mItem_Detail

              }

                Transport.send(message);

                System.out.println("Done");

            } catch (MessagingException e) {

            }
           }



  });

Answer 1

As per the Javadoc, , while you need text/html.As your are using MimeMessage#setContent(), you need to add "text/html;charset==utf-8" at message.setContent();

message.setContent(someHtmlMessage, "text/html; charset=utf-8");

Note that the HTML should not contain the <html>, <head> or <body>. Gmail will ignore it.

message.setContent( "<tr>
                        <td>" + title + "</td>
                        <td>" + qty + "*" + cost+ "</td>
                        <td>" + "=" + total + "</td>
                    </tr>",   "text/html;charset=utf-8");
