        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Send" />
 
</LinearLayout>

Step 2 SendEmailActivity Activity

Full activity class to send an Email. Read the "onClick()" method, it should be self-explanatory.

public class SendEmailActivity extends Activity {
 
Button buttonSend;
EditText textTo;
EditText textSubject;
EditText textMessage;
 
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
 
buttonSend = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonSend);
textTo = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextTo);
textSubject = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextSubject);
textMessage = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextMessage);
 
buttonSend.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
 
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
 
  String to = textTo.getText().toString();
  String subject = textSubject.getText().toString();
  String message = textMessage.getText().toString();
 
  Intent email = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
  email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{ to});
  email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
  email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
 
  //need this to prompts email client only
  email.setType("message/rfc822");
 
  startActivity(Intent.createChooser(email, "Choose an Email client :"));
 
}
});
}
}
