How can I get an email address

Question

I use this code to receive Gmail using a content provider. My problem is that the "fromAddress" field contains the name of the sender instead of the sender. For example, it will contain "John Doe", but I would like to have " [e-mail] ".

The name in the field is the value set by the user in his mail client, it is not associated with my Android contacts.

Here is the code I'm using:

ContentResolver resolver = context.getContentResolver(); cursor = resolver.query(Uri.parse("content://gmail-ls/conversations/ [e-mail] /", null, null, null, null); cursor.moveToFirst(); String fromAddress = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("fromAddress"))); cursor.close(); 

I know that the letter is not in any fields coming from this URI. I tried with this URI: "content: // gmail-ls / messages / [e-mail] / 39920384203052", but it always returns a cursor with 0 entries for a valid messageId.

Please help me get the sender email for this Gmail email ...

Thanks!

Answer 1

Run the action for the result

Intent intent = new new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Contacts.CONTENT_URI);

 startActivityForResult(contactPickerIntent, CONTACT_PICKER_RESULT); 

OnActivityResult

 Uri result = data.getData(); String con = result.getLastPathSegment(); cursor = getContentResolver().query(Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, Phone.CONTACT_ID + "=?", new String[] { con }, null); int id = cursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.DATA); if(cursor.moveToFirst()){ String mail = cursor.getString(id); Log.e("Email", mail); }

I could not find the GMail content provider documentation for Android, but this may help you.

Open the HttpRequest object and submit it here. https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom . After authentication (standard HTTP authentication), you should receive the XML feed of your mailbox.

From there you can take it apart. The field you are looking for is input-> author-> email.

Hope this helps!
