I need to send verification email to the user in my application and in that mail i want to send an url as a hyperlink, i am able to send email successfully but i am not getting how to send hyperlink in the body text.
My code where i am sending email to user :-
class SendEmailAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Boolean> {
String emailid = "email="+user_email+"&hash="+randomcode;
String link = "http://www.google.com"+emailid;
String body = "Please verify your email address by clicking on this link "+link ;
Mail m = new Mail("abc@gmail.com", "abc@123");
public SendEmailAsyncTask() {
if (BuildConfig.DEBUG)
Log.v(SendEmailAsyncTask.class.getName(), "SendEmailAsyncTask()");
String[] toArr = {user_email};
m.setTo(toArr);
m.setFrom("abc@gmail.com");
m.setSubject(subject);
m.setBody(body);
}
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
}
@Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(Void... params) {
if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) Log.v(SendEmailAsyncTask.class.getName(), "doInBackground()");
try {
m.send();
Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(SignupActivity.this, "Email Sent", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}, 1000 );
return true;
} catch (AuthenticationFailedException e) {
Log.e(SendEmailAsyncTask.class.getName(), "Bad account details");
Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(SignupActivity.this, "Incorrect account details", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}, 1000 );
e.printStackTrace();
statusDialog.setMessage("Account Details are not correct");
return false;
} catch (MessagingException e) {
Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(SignupActivity.this, "Email sending failed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}, 1000 );
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean aBoolean) {
super.onPostExecute(aBoolean);
}
}
This one is my Mail.class :-

// There is something wrong with MailCap, javamail can not find a handler for the multipart/mixed part, so this bit needs to be added.

Make sure you’re using the official JavaMail for Android.
Then, fix these common JavaMail mistakes.
To send a clickable link, send HTML email. Set _body with a string that includes the html content you want in the message. Change the code that sets the message body to:
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setText(_body, "utf-8", "html");
