I’ve researched both functions, but everything I find is very vague.

  1. I need to send an email from my app, directly to any email account (which is my user’s account).

  2. And my other problem is calling the Gmail app from my app.

Usage Intent/content Provider?

  • no. I just want to send a text, only!

If you want to open only an email application with the email address of the addressee already completed just use this

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:" + url));
startActivity(intent);

If not the android page indicates using this form, more complete

public void composeEmail(String[] addresses, String subject) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
    intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:")); // only email apps should handle this
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, addresses);
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
    if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
        startActivity(intent);
    }
}

You can use a Sharecompat.Intentbuilder if you are using a compatibility library.

final Intent intent = ShareCompat.IntentBuilder.from(getActivity())
                      .setType("message/rfc822")
                      .setSubject("Seu assunto")
                      .setText("corpo do email")
                      .setChooserTitle("Titulo da tela de seleção")
                      .createChooserIntent();

startActivity(intent);

With this code the user can select any application on the mobile that can send a message, among them the GMAIL.

I hope I’ve helped.
