Answer 1

You can try this:

emailIntent.setType("application/octet-stream");

Or alternatively you can use PackageManager to build a more limited set of Intents, and show your own dialog for the user to select their email app.

but actually you are swimming against the tide of Android with what you’re doing. Android is designed to allow for a message to be “Sent” and to show all apps that accept that intent, so be careful you don’t remove options the user may actually want.
