Email in java with android

Question

I wish that clicking on a preference you may be directed towards a service to send emails such as gmail. Here is what I did

Preference email;
email = (Preference) this.findPreference("email");
email.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new OnPreferenceClickListener()); {
 Intent emailIntent = new Intent( android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
 String[] recipients = new String[]{"" , "[email protected]" ,};
 emailIntent.putExtra( android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, recipients);
 emailIntent.putExtra( android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "This is my text" );
 emailIntent.putExtra( android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "");
 emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
 startActivity( Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send Email" ));
 }
}
}

I receive error in this line:

 email.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new OnPreferenceClickListener()); {

Why? How can i fix it? Thanks a lot

• kosa: And what is the error?

Answer 1

Most likely it's compile error because your syntax is wrong, use following:

 email.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new OnPreferenceClickListener() {
 @Override
 public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference preference) {
 // TODO Handle stuff here
 return false;
 }
 });

You have a syntax error, change to:

email.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new OnPreferenceClickListener() {
 @Override
 public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference preference) {
 Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
 String[] recipients = new String[]{"" , "[email protected]"};
 emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, recipients);
 emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "This is my text" );
 emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "");
 emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
 startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send Email"));
 }
});

EDIT: forgot the method..
