Question

I know we can trigger an Intent.ACTION_SEND intent to send email. But according to the official api docs, we can’t specify “from address” sending an email(EXTRA_EMAIL->to address). So is it possible to specify the from address? if possible, then how?

Thanks in advance.~bow

Answer 1

I was wonder why you need from address filed in your email, because you had configured e-mail settings in your device.

For Instance:

I had configured my gmail account in my android device[[e-mail]], so if i send email using Intents to [e-mail] , the receiving user receives my mail with outlined my gmail id which i had configured in my device i.e., [e-mail].

Refer My Blog for any info regarding email using Intents , i had gave a detailed explanation

Or still you need from address, you can send Email without using Intents

Here they are clearly explained abt sending emails without using Intents
