public class Main extends Activity {

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

clickBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.click);

clickBtn.setText("Send email");

clickBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

@Override

public void onClick(View v) {

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);

String[] recipients = new String[]{"my@email.com", "",};

emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, recipients);

emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Test");

emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is email's message");

emailIntent.setType("text/plain");
