send mail in android with javamail api

Hi Folks,

I find a way sending a mail in android using the JavaMail API using Gmail authentication

Steps to create a simple Project:

MailSenderActivity.java

import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

public class MailSenderActivity extends Activity {

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        final Button send = (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.send);
        send.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub


                try { 
                    GMailSender sender = newGMailSender("[e-mail]", "password");
                    sender.sendMail("This is Subject", 
                            "This is Body", 
                            "[e-mail]", 
                            "[e-mail]"); 
                } catch (Exception e) { 
                    Log.e("SendMail", e.getMessage(), e); 
                } 

            }
        });

    }
}
