In this post we will create an Android Email App.
We will not use the default Android Email Client to send emails instead we will use Javamail API to create our own email sender. And you can also use this App for Email.
So if you are searching Best Email App for Android then try the app created by yourself 😉
Before going through the tutorial you can check the following video to see exactly what you will be creating in this tutorial.
Android Email App – Video
Download Javamail API for Android
- For this Android Email App we will use Javamail API, so before starting our android project download Javamail API from link given below
[download id=”1481″]
- You will get a zip file from the above link. Extract the zip and you will get three .jar files. We will use these .jar files in our android email app project.
Creating Android Email App in Android Studio
- Open Android Studio and create a new android project.
- First we will add the downloaded .jar’s to our project.
- From the left panel click on Android -> Project (see the image below)
- Now you will get the libs folder inside projectfolder -> app -> libs . Paste all the three .jar files which you have downloaded above inside the libs folder. (See the image below)
- Now go to file -> project structure.
- Now go to dependencies and from the right click on the green + sign and then click on file dependencies.
- Now go to libs folder and add all the three .jar files (you can see in the image)
- Now click on ok, ok and you have added the apis to your project.
- Now come to activity_main.xml and create the following layout.
- Use the following code for creating the above layout.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context=".MainActivity"> <TextView android:text="Recipient Email" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <EditText android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/editTextEmail" /> <TextView android:text="Subject" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <EditText android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/editTextSubject" /> <TextView android:text="Message" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <EditText android:lines="4" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/editTextMessage" /> <Button android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/buttonSend" android:text="Send"/> </LinearLayout> |
- For this android email app we will use gmail to send emails. So create a new java class named Config.java and write the following code.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | package net.simplifiedcoding.javamailexample; /** * Created by Belal on 10/30/2015. */ public class Config { public static final String EMAIL ="your-gmail-username"; public static final String PASSWORD ="your-gmail-password"; } |
- You have to write your gmail username and password.
- Now create a new class SendMail.java. It will send our email. Write the following code in this class.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 | package net.simplifiedcoding.javamailexample; import android.app.ProgressDialog; import android.content.Context; import android.os.AsyncTask; import android.widget.Toast; import java.util.Properties; import javax.mail.Message; import javax.mail.MessagingException; import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication; import javax.mail.Session; import javax.mail.Transport; import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress; import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage; /** * Created by Belal on 10/30/2015. */ //Class is extending AsyncTask because this class is going to perform a networking operation public class SendMail extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void> { //Declaring Variables private Context context; private Session session; //Information to send email private String email; private String subject; private String message; //Progressdialog to show while sending email private ProgressDialog progressDialog; //Class Constructor public SendMail(Context context, String email, String subject, String message){ //Initializing variables this.context = context; this.email = email; this.subject = subject; this.message = message; } @Override protected void onPreExecute() { super.onPreExecute(); //Showing progress dialog while sending email progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(context,"Sending message","Please wait...",false,false); } @Override protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) { super.onPostExecute(aVoid); //Dismissing the progress dialog progressDialog.dismiss(); //Showing a success message Toast.makeText(context,"Message Sent",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } @Override protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) { //Creating properties Properties props = new Properties(); //Configuring properties for gmail //If you are not using gmail you may need to change the values props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com"); props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465"); props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory"); props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true"); props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465"); //Creating a new session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, new javax.mail.Authenticator() { //Authenticating the password protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() { return new PasswordAuthentication(Config.EMAIL, Config.PASSWORD); } }); try { //Creating MimeMessage object MimeMessage mm = new MimeMessage(session); //Setting sender address mm.setFrom(new InternetAddress(Config.EMAIL)); //Adding receiver mm.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(email)); //Adding subject mm.setSubject(subject); //Adding message mm.setText(message); //Sending email Transport.send(mm); } catch (MessagingException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return null; } } |
- Now come to MainActivity.java and write the following code.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 | package net.simplifiedcoding.javamailexample; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.EditText; import java.util.Properties; import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication; import javax.mail.Session; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener { //Declaring EditText private EditText editTextEmail; private EditText editTextSubject; private EditText editTextMessage; //Send button private Button buttonSend; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); //Initializing the views editTextEmail = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextEmail); editTextSubject = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextSubject); editTextMessage = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextMessage); buttonSend = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonSend); //Adding click listener buttonSend.setOnClickListener(this); } private void sendEmail() { //Getting content for email String email = editTextEmail.getText().toString().trim(); String subject = editTextSubject.getText().toString().trim(); String message = editTextMessage.getText().toString().trim(); //Creating SendMail object SendMail sm = new SendMail(this, email, subject, message); //Executing sendmail to send email sm.execute(); } @Override public void onClick(View v) { sendEmail(); } } |
- Finally add internet permission to manifest.
1 2 3 | <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> |
- Thats it now run your application.
- Bingo! It is working absolutely fine. You can also download the source code of my project from below.

Hii thanks for the tutorial its working fine with Gmail but I need to send email using my Yahoo account instead of gmail can you please help me regarding this.
You have to change the values according to yahoo mail
ya i tried using yahoo SMTP details its not working
Ok I will tell you after trying doing it with yahoo
Thanks in advance bro 🙂
hey! it doesnt work on mobile data but works fine on wifi. any solution for this?
i am sending email but its not working?
It is showing me Message sent in toast but when i check gmail account no mail is received. Please help, i even tried different email accounts.
Secondly, what to do if we wish to send a doc file also as an attached document to the mail?
Please help
check config class.. you have to put your actual gmail username and password there
i will give correct username and password but every time got log mes javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException…
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
Allow Access Less Secured App
I also gave permission. Never again
this security setting works for me thanks
Hello sir, I had also the same problem. I put my exact gmail account and password but I don’t still get any mails. Even though it tells me that the mail was sent. Please help me. Thank you
The application works properly, however gmail has a security setting which needs to be addressed.
You need to go to your security settings and turn on “Allow less secure apps:”.
Check out this post here for more details : https://www.drupal.org/node/2080923
I did that but still didn’t receive any mail
can u help me ?
really great Thanks for detailed Explanations
Hi , thanks for this tutorial , but i have question : can i make this app accept any types of emails ( yahoo , hotmail , gmail , ….. ) ?
Same question! I already tried several different ways but I wasn’t successful.
I’m trying to send an Email with the Email address the user’s typing in a text field.
Any help is appreciated!
Thx in advance!
thanks for the code. but i am getting error in MainActivity.java file in Error:(3, 30) error: cannot find symbol class AppCompatActivity and Error:(31, 36) error: cannot find symbol method findViewById(int). i did all the dependencies in the exact way. waiting for your reply.
Actually this is the problem with your sdk, update your android studio and sdk. Or you can use Activity or ActionbarActivity instead of AppCompatActivity
yeah!! it is working now. can i have your email, so that i can contact you directly?.
Visit about page 😉
Thank u for your code!! Could you also show how to receive messages using JavaMail API, please? I tried to rework your code, but it wasn’t successful:(
Hello , this message is being translated by Google Translate because I do not speak English, I hope you understand .
Where has :
//Setting sender address
mm.setFrom(new InternetAddress(Config.EMAIL));
//Adding receiver
mm.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(email));
Would actually:
//Setting sender address
mm.setFrom(new InternetAddress(>>email<>Config.EMAIL<<));
For in setFrom method will receive the destination email , and addRecipient is the email that will be sent . I did the tests here and in the original code will send me two emails, a stranger with all system information and another with the message but also strange . When did the tests changing these variables functioned normally sending a well-formatted single email .
not working on my android device even no error in coding……
I implement the same as you have done!
but no message is received in the target email address.
I changed the config file also.
here is the logcat :
01-17 22:19:41.473 12231-12231/polimi.aap.yas.personalhealthrecord E/ViewRootImpl: sendUserActionEvent() mView == null
it says sign in attempt was blocked in my mail
You need to enable POP go to your gmail and from settings enable POP or IMAP
Thank you !!! Your code and this reply helped me a lot to put the application working. It turns out htat the POP/IMAP was turn off on gmail setting.
thanks for the tut..but when i have my mail and pass stored in config.java .what i want is when user uses my app and wants to send a mail to me, im not getting the mail to my mail ,instead it shows like u got a mail from sv53@gmail.com(this is in config file) to the mail which i entered in receipient field .
when a user send a mail using his mail id, i need to get mail to my sv53 mail id, but how to?
If you are having problems disable you anti-virus and check it again…
Also had to allow less secure app in google.
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
It works !!! Thanks man, God Bless You 🙂
It is showing me Message sent in toast but when i check gmail account no mail is received..
Cool tut, I wish I understood Android Studio better but I am just now teaching myself and could use help on a couple projects. I can only imagine how busy you must be, but if you would/could help me just a bit, I sure would appreciate it! If you are interested, please contact me via admin@mohtech.ca
Thank you in advance!

Hey,
I get the same error. Can anyone help?
Error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.sun.mail.util.MailLogger
You should check the gradle file
(App). If you have written duplicate about mail, it would have shown error message like you.
For example, in your gradle file,
If there are more than a line,
compile javax.javamail.5-
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: ‘libs’, include: [‘*.jar’])
-> this is two lines about javamail.
So delete one of them. 🙂 i solved the problem in this way

i got above error while executing kindly help me.
I have the same problem
Did you resolved it? 🙁
U got the solution ?? please share with me i have same error..
OK. Worked fine.
I placed inside the application method in the manifest. That was wrong. Should be placed outside the application method. Took me a while to solve that ‘bug’ 😉
I mean the staement: uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.INTERNET”
I dont know when i add it with other fragments it crashes everytimes. But instead i add with no fragment just main activity it works. Will you plz show a tut that show if i can add Send Mail with different fragments not just coding with the main activity ?plz
Yes i am also getting same, while using activity its works but with fragment its showing error in line “SendMail sm = new SendMail(this, email, subject, message);”
Could you please help me to resolve this issue ?
Use getActivity(), instead of ‘this’
I followed the procedure as written and all code is same as on site. I am writing recipient email, subject and body for email but the email is not going. My login ID and password is also correct, the account is working and even i am getting progress bar as well as Toast message that “Message Sent”. I don’t understand what is the problem..please help

It’s working well in emulator android. I can receive email. Then I tried to install my app in my android device with Wifi connection, it’s working well. But when I use Data Mobile Connection (not Wifi) email not sent. Can you tell me why?
Thanks belal it works perfectly!
Only we need to remember is that enable “Allow less secure apps” setting of
gmail account whose username and password we are passing in Config.java file.
As new to android tutorial like this is like a gift thanks bro!
Need to read emails, inbox, draft, custom folder etc so that I can display them on a listview in my app. It needs to read default android email not gmail. I haven’t found anything except sending emails.

Long story in short “this app works fine on emulator but does not work on real device”
Bro,this app works fine on emualtor,but no email is acctualy sent on when i use real device…I know there is no problem on this code.But i assume something is missing on dependency or something like that,that would make the app work both on emulator and real device.Pls help me brother
Sir is there a way where my app can know whether this email exists or not???
This works great! Any way to add attachment?
it works thanks. But i want to add some extra textfields and how can i include to the code part ?
it showing Message sent but i can’t get any mail so help me out.i fill my credential to config file also.
How to add attchment?
Unable to download any files, Error (429)
This account’s links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!
Will you have any alternative links the project can be downloaded from?
If you implement emailing from the android app (or any client side app) like this, your account can be compromised. If I get this app, I can easily decompile the jar and get your Gmail Password. So I suggest not to use this for sending emails.
Thanks a lot buddy
Worked like a charm
it’s really work. What about attach? How to use?
This code will work even without downloading the file.
Just add
compile ‘com.sun.mail:android-mail:1.5.5’
compile ‘com.sun.mail:android-activation:1.5.5’
in build.gradile – dependencies section.
Thanks for the code!

just you have to take care of these
1) add jar files in jar dependencies.
2) allow less secure app in google.
