How to Send an Email Using Android Studio Intent in Kotlin?

Communication has become a vital part of our daily lives, and emails are one of the most widely used means of communication. With the advancement in technology, it is now possible to send emails programmatically using Android Studio intent. In this article, we will explore how to use Android Studio intent to send an email from your Kotlin application.

Firstly, let's discuss what an email is and how do we usually send it. An electronic mail (email) is a way to communicate with people using their email addresses. When you want to send an email, you typically enter the recipient's email address, add a subject, and write the message body. However, in Android programming, sending emails programmatically is different.

To begin with, we will declare two global variables: public static final String TAG = 'MainActivity' and public static int APP_REQUEST_CODE = 99. These variables will be used throughout our code.

The third button clears the stored sessions. It contains only three buttons, and you can find its code below:

```kotlin

public void emailLogin(View view) {

// Code to send an email

}

```

This method is called when one of the first two buttons is clicked. Each of these buttons has a function as a parameter of the onClick attribute.

To configure our application and connect with the Facebook dashboard, we need to add the following meta data:

```xml

```

Inside the strings.xml file, add the following IDs: YOUR_FACEBOOK_APP_ID. This ID will be used in your Facebook app settings.

Since this application needs the Internet to perform the Phone or Email login, make sure you add the INTERNET permission on top of the Manifest file:

```xml

```

Next, we need to declare the required permissions, activities and meta datas inside the AndroidManifest.xml:

```xml

android:name='.EmailRedirectActivity'

android:configChanges='orientation|screenSize'

android:label='@string/app_name'

android:parentActivityName='.MainActivity'>

android:name='.PhoneLoginActivity'

android:configChanges='orientation|screenSize'

android:label='@string/app_name'

android:parentActivityName='.MainActivity'>

```

Inside the tags, we need to declare the Email Redirect Activity. This activity detects when you click on an Account Kit kind of link or URL placed inside the Email body and launches the Application.

That's it! With these steps, you can now use Android Studio intent to send an email from your Kotlin application.
