Android application for quickly sending mails to yourself

(poor man's GTD)

Usage

Set your e-mail address in the Settings dialog once, then use the main UI or the native Android text sharing capability to send mail to yourself.

Motivation

  • There are fine e-mail applications on Android such as K-9 mail, however sharing text copies the content to the message body, not the subject.
  • Typing my own e-mail address into the To field is tiresome, and K-9 makes this even worse.
  • I wanted to try the Preferences API

Building

  • Download and unpack the Android SDK to any directory (if you haven't done so already).
  • Create the local.properties with a single line like sdk.dir=/path/to/android/sdk with the correct path.
  • Run ant debug to build the project and sign it with a debug key.
