@miasoft === and why note use the “standard” android ACTION\_SEND and let the user choose the app for sending the mail??? it is much more simpler i think…Code below shows how
to do; of course, instead of mouseReleased you have to code some timer;f you want also you can change the xtra or add another one.
```auto
import android.content.Intent;
import android.widget.Button;
Button envoi;
boolean send= false;
String eTo;
String eMsg;
String eSubj;
void setup(){
size(800,1000);
background(255,0,0);
eTo = "akenaton.docks2a@gmail.com";
eMsg = "Coucou, comment ça va";
eSubj= "des nouvelles...";
}
void draw(){
if (send){
envoieMessage();
}
};
public void mouseReleased(){
send= true;
}
void envoieMessage(){
Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
it.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{eTo.toString()});
it.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,eSubj.toString());
it.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,eMsg.toString());
it.setType("message/rfc822");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(it,"Choose Mail App"));
send = false;
}
```
dont forget to add permissions (internet); you can also modify the manifest to create a filter for your activity filter ACTION\_SEND and mime type message/rfc822

I’d like my sketch send email automatically (without user’s interaction). How to change
```auto
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(it,"Choose Mail App"));
```
???

Not saying this is that case, but i knkw that android makes things particularly difficult in some cases or near impossible so that they can ensure security and cross compatibility (at least im guessing). I tried to create a file or folder picker and could not find any documentation to do this. It would always point to set an intent to lpen the users fave file browser. And then good luck reading the data because it uses virtual storage and the link to the file it retrieves does not play nice anywhere else.
Long story short this may be intentional behaviour from android.

@miasoft ===
@paulgoux === yes, you are absolutely right!!!
first poinst is that you cannot be sure (without the chooser screen) which email app is installed and used by the phone user; of course you can “bet” that Gmail is installed and override ths chooser but that is very dangerous because in some future Gmail app can change its package name; so if i am able to do that, (adding pakage class name in my intent) i am against this work around…
second point is that Android does not permit to “send an email automatically” for evident security reasons; (suppose that an app send emails without your agreement!)here also you can find a workaround but it is not simple , because you have to get the profile from the user, password and so on (some apps do that) and i cannot see the interest of doing so instead of clicking the gmail button. more details here:: [https://groups.google.com/g/android-developers/c/Je3-y-tSAtE?pli=1](https://groups.google.com/g/android-developers/c/Je3-y-tSAtE?pli=1)
In case you want to skip the chooser screen, as i have told (and told that, in my mind it is not a good idea, )you can use the below code inside the previous one:; you can also add some exception and a toast, but that is also without interest.
```auto
void envoieMessage(){
Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
it.setPackage("com.google.android.gm");
it.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{eTo.toString()});
it.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,eSubj.toString());
it.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,eMsg.toString());
it.setType("message/rfc822");
//startActivity(Intent.createChooser(it,"Choose Mail App")); //comment this line
startActivity(it);
send = false;
}
```

Thanks, akenaton! I implemented your version. Everything works fine!
