message/rfc822 as intent type not received

[PaulWoitaschek]

When I send an intent from my app like this:

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts(
    "mailto", "woitaschek@gmail.com", null));
emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hello k9 dog");
Intent startClientIntent = Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Sending Mail...");
startClientIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
try {
    getApplicationContext().startActivity(startClientIntent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException ignored) {
}

K9 Mail wont receive that intent unless I remove the type

//emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");

Don't just copy code snippets off the internet. Check the documentation of ACTION_SENDTO. There you can see that EXTRAs aren't officially supported with ACTION_SENDTO. Also, you don't have to specify a type.

You can use the MailTo class to create the necessary mailto: URI.
