sending an email. with app inventor - guide ?

[_mR]

hello, 

i need a method to post data from the app to a location, like an email, or a online location. that can be shared with other. 

2 requirements.

the app must not need any special accounts to work,

the app and location must be online accessible to other in some basic way

example

end users have the app.  > they can submit data > the data will (email, or some way post) > data can be accessed by those desired. 

if using email, it will need a mail server to send through ? or is there a way around that.

tried using twitter, to many issues with API and account setups which i want to minimize.

facebook wont let you send to a PM, but i can use the email\post to page option.

any ideas?

thanks

Perhaps:

or send the information to a fusion table   (see Pizza Party tutorial how to post to a fusion table).

Do those work for you?

@_mR   Sorry, there is no way to do what you want with the standard AI2 controls to send an email directly from your AI2 app.  You can not send an email directly from AI2 without using a work-around solution.  Taifun's link shows different ways to work around this limitation.  If you do not like those solutions, you could consider compiling your app with """""Eclipse or Android Studio.

AI2 apps can not work in the background.   Not possible.

AI2 does not have a full tool box like Eclipse or Android Studio (the professional, Java based Android compilers).   If you have to send an email directly, there is a Java library that will allow you to do that using Eclipse or Android Studio.      AI2 can do lots of things but the ability to send emails using AI2 code does not exist.

ok, so then my best option is using the web interface.? possible to send data to a form? or load i link\page? but then would it be possible to take text/box  and post it to the web button presses?

thanks
