Android send mail api
Android provides several APIs to send emails programmatically. Here are a few options:
- JavaMail API: This is a popular and widely-used API for sending emails in Android. You can use the JavaMail API to send emails using a SMTP server. You can add the JavaMail API to your Android project by adding the following dependency to your
build.gradle
file:dependencies { implementation 'com.sun.mail:android-mail:1.6.2' }
Here's an example of how to use the JavaMail API to send an email:
import javax.mail.*; import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress; import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
public class SendEmail { public static void sendEmail(String toAddress, String subject, String body) { Properties props = new Properties(); props.put("mail.smtp.host", "your-smtp-host"); props.put("mail.smtp.port", "your-smtp-port"); props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
Session session = Session.getInstance(props, new Authenticator() {
@Override
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication("your-email-username", "your-email-password");
}
});
try {
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("your-email-username"));
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(toAddress));
message.setSubject(subject);
message.setText(body);
Transport.send(message);
Log.d("Email sent successfully");
} catch (MessagingException e) {
Log.e("Error sending email", e.getMessage());
}
}
}
2. **Android's built-in `android.net.SmsManager` class**: This class allows you to send SMS messages, but it can also be used to send emails. You can use the `sendMultipartTextMessage()` method to send an email. Here's an example:
```java
import android.net.SmsManager;
public class SendEmail {
public static void sendEmail(String toAddress, String subject, String body) {
SmsManager smsManager = SmsManager.getDefault();
String message = "Subject: " + subject + "\n\n" + body;
smsManager.sendMultipartTextMessage(toAddress, null, new String[]{message}, null, null);
}
}
Note that this method is not recommended for sending emails, as it is intended for sending SMS messages.
- Third-party libraries: There are several third-party libraries available that provide APIs for sending emails in Android, such as:
- SendGrid: A popular email service that provides an API for sending emails.
- Mailgun: A cloud-based email service that provides an API for sending emails.
- Postmark: A cloud-based email service that provides an API for sending emails.
These libraries provide a simple and easy-to-use API for sending emails, and often include features such as email tracking, analytics, and spam filtering.
Remember to always check the documentation for the API or library you choose to use, and to comply with any applicable laws and regulations when sending emails programmatically.
