Android Studio mailto Intent doesn’t show subject and mail body

I’m trying to send an e-mail from my Android App. With the click on a button, gmail should open and show a new email with my previously defined recipient, subject and email body. So far I’ve tried sending the Intent.ACTION_VIEW as well as Intent.ACTION_SENDTO. Both show my draft with the recipient only. Both subject and message are being opressed. Weird thing is when using the emulator, it works just fine. Also was trying to lock at the android errorlog. Seems like i don’t have permission. Is it really a permission problem or could it be something else? I’d really appreciate any help cheers

Here is my code:

sending email via ACTION_VIEW

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("mailto:" + to));
intent.putExtra(intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
intent.putExtra(intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
mainActivity.startActivity(intent);

sending email via ACTION_SENDTO

Intent email = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
email.setType("message/rfc822");
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{to});
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
mainActivity.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(email, "Choose an Email client :"));

Answer

try out this code, it worked for me.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:")); // only email apps should handle this
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{email});
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject here");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Body Here");
if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
    startActivity(intent);
}

also add intent filter in android manifest.

<activity ...>
<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" />
    <data android:scheme="mailto" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
