I want to send some message to particular email ID. I set the to address and trying to send messages. it’s working fine in Gmail App. but it’s not working properly in the Mail App especially in Nexus 7(HTC one V also) what the reason behind?

Source Code

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
emailIntent.setType("text/html");   
emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:naresh.repalle@shoregrp.com"));
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Price Check Guru Feedback");        
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Email:"));

Updated Code

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
emailIntent.setType(“text/html”);

        //set the To address and Subject
        try
        {
            String strSubject = URLEncoder.encode("Price Check Guru Feedback","UTF-8");         
            //testing
            emailIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:naresh.repalle@shoregrp.com"+ "?subject=" + strSubject));
        }
        catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) 
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }           
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Email:"));

    Despite all the rumours which people spread on forums (and also here), not all Android e-mail apps support a mixture of SENDTO/mailto: and EXTRAs. Period. You’ve chosen an approach which is not supported by all apps (including K-9), that’s all.

    What seems to work is including the subject and body in the URL with ?subject= and &body=, using Uri.encode(). However, please be aware that the standard Android e-mail client V3.0 erases all + signs form such a message, probably due to wrong decoding.

    Update: Okay so that’s not your problem; lucky you. Of course, you can force the system to provide the chooser; have you not googled your problem? Although, if it does not fire, it means that the user chose Google mail over the proprietary e-mail program before.
