   ticketMail1 = findViewById(R.id.ticketMail);


    private boolean validateEmail(EditText email){
    String emailinput = ticketMail1.getText().toString();

    if(!emailinput.isEmpty() && Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS.matcher(emailinput).matches()){

        return true;
    }else{
        Toast.makeText(this,"Invalid Email Address",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        return false;
    }
}

You don't need one, the default is fine. You only need an input type when you want special behavior- numeric only, password, things like that.

Edit: if you want an email address, then use textEmailAddress as others suggested. The body of an email, which is how I read the question, can be default. Subject has textEmailSubject, but tends to be ignored.

android:inputType="textEmailAddress"

If you hit Ctrl + Space in Eclipse then it will bring up the menu of options available and narrow them down as you type.
