Android and Emails

This guide details two main methods for sending emails in Android applications: using email clients like Gmail and configuring SMTP/IMAP services. The guide emphasizes the importance of having the user’s email account set up for email clients, while SMTP/IMAP requires proper configuration. Additionally, a sample implementation is provided using the javax.mail package to send emails via a Gmail client. A user-friendly layout for sending emails is included, along with a practical exercise for creating a registration activity that confirms the user’s contact information via email.
