Android no apps can perform this action

Question

I have found two threads on the same topic with no solution that I can use, I am looking to click on an email address and automatically open an email app and send email, my code seems fine to me but I get the "No apps can perform this action"

This is the method I am using;

 textView_emailid.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts(
                    textView_emailid.toString(), "your@email.com", null));
            intent.setType("text/plain");
            intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Book an Appointment");
            intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hi " + name);
            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send Email"));
        }
    });

What is the value of `textView_emailid.toString()`? If the answer is anything other than `mailto`, that would be one problem. — CommonsWare, Aug 15 '16 at 21:41

Change your intent.setType("text/plain") to intent.setType("message/rfc822").

Try the code snippet in this post directly without changing anything since it's the correct solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2197841/5250273

If you still get "No apps can perform this action", then your device does not have any email application (since it may be rooted?).

Hey, that answer seems to be solving that issue, I am looking to automatically read the email address from the emailid string into the recipient text field, any idea? – James Cosgrave Aug 15 '16 at 22:05
`intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL , new String[]{textView_emailid.getText().toString()});` – Ugurcan Yildirim Aug 15 '16 at 22:06
I am getting a "cannot find method tooString" – James Cosgrave Aug 15 '16 at 22:12
Not tooString(), it is toString(). – Ugurcan Yildirim Aug 16 '16 at 05:08
That was a typo, I fixed the issue tho thanks for your help. – James Cosgrave Aug 16 '16 at 05:09
