Send HTML e-mail with Android formatting (style inline)

Question

I am trying to send a personalized email through new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND), containing in the email body a formatted HTML, but when selecting the Gmail application, for example, the whole style html is ignored. What I’m trying to do is the following:

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("text/html");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"[email protected]"});
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject of email");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml("<h1>Sou um H1</h1><p>Eu sou um paragrafo</p><p style=\"color:red;background-color:black;\">Eu sou um paragrafo colorido!</p>"));
try {
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
    Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

The email application is called correctly, but the part of the style of HTML is lost. It is possible to keep HTML intact in this way to send email through Intent.ACTION_SEND?

Answer 1

Just use the Intent.EXTRA_HTML_TEXT parameter

i.sendIntent.setType(“text/html”);

i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_HTML_TEXT, Html.fromHtml("<h1>Sou um H1</h1><p>Eu sou um paragrafo</p><p style=\"color:red;background-color:black;\">Eu sou um paragrafo colorido!</p>").toString());

OR

i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_HTML_TEXT, "<h1>Sou um H1</h1><p>Eu sou um paragrafo</p><p style=\"color:red;background-color:black;\">Eu sou um paragrafo colorido!</p>");
