Gmail send intent help

[clonfsp]

Hello,

This maybe it is not a full tasker question, but near. I hope someone can help me.

I am trying to make a task with automatically open gmail to compose an email which has predefined fields (email to and subject). I want then manually write body and press the send button. I follow the instruction from this page:

http://htnawsaj.tumblr.com/post/55501246943/tasker-send-mail-with-predefined-template-on-android

Basically, I copy:

Create Tasker task as below.

• New Task
• New Action –> Misc
• Select “Send Intent”
• Fill below values

• Action:Intent.ACTION_SEND
• Extra:android.intent.extra.SUBJECT:Yourtexthere
• Extra:android.intent.extra.SUBJECT:Yourtexthere
• Package:com.google.android.gm
• Class:com.google.android.gm.ComposeActivityGmail
• Target:Activity

This works perfect for subject. Also if I write  Extra:android.intent.extra.TEXT:Yourtextthere  works perfect for body message. But I cann't populate the 'to' field. Does anybody knows what is the exact extra string to do this?

Thanks

Using the 'Intent Intercept' app, I clicked on a contact email and intercepted the intent that was generated. Here are the results:

ACTION: android.intent.action.SENDTO
DATA: mailto: contactaddress%40gmail.com

You might be able to use the data field along with what you already have to generate the result you seek. Last time I checked you can't have both data and extras in a tasker intent, so you might need to look into broadcasting the intent via shell.

I just tested that and it works. At least in the latest Tasker beta, you can include both data and extra fields.
