How can I send emails using gmail from my Android application?

This example demonstrates how do I send emails using gmail from my Android application.

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:padding="4dp"
   tools:context=".MainActivity"
   android:orientation="vertical">

   <TextView
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:text="Recipient email!" />

   <EditText
      android:id="@+id/editTextMail"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

   <TextView
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:text="Subject"/>

   <EditText
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:id="@+id/editTextSubject"/>

   <TextView
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:text="Message"/>

   <EditText
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:id="@+id/editTextMessage"
      android:lines="4"/>

   <Button
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:id="@+id/buttonSend"
      android:text="Send" />
</LinearLayout>

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java

import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity{

   EditText editTextMail, editTextSubject, editTextMessage;
   Button buttonSend;
   String email, subject, message;

   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

      editTextMail = findViewById(R.id.editTextMail);
      editTextSubject = findViewById(R.id.editTextSubject);
      editTextMessage = findViewById(R.id.editTextMessage);

      buttonSend = findViewById(R.id.buttonSend);

      buttonSend.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         @Override
         public void onClick(View v) {
            getData();
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String(email));
            intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
            intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);

            intent.setType("message/rfc822");
            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select email"));
         }
      });
   }

   private void getData() {
      email = editTextMail.getText().toString();
      subject = editTextSubject.getText().toString();
      message = editTextMessage.getText().toString();
   }
}

Step 4 - Add the following code to androidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   package="app.com.sample">

   <application
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
      </activity>
   </application>
</manifest>

Select your mobile device as an option and then check your mobile device which will display your default screen –
