Send HTML e-mail with Intent

I want to send a HTML e-mail when an user decides to share my app. I'm using HTML in order to have a customised and appellative message.

First approach, I tried to create a String with my HTML (inline style) using Html.fromHtml but when I received the e-mail it was pure txt, no customization.

Second approach, send a HTML file attached. The problem with this approach is that the HTML is not showed until the user opens the attach.

What's the best solution, is it possible? Thanks!

You can pass Spanned text in your extra. To ensure that the intent resolves only to activities that handle email (e.g. Gmail and Email apps), you can use ACTION_SENDTO with a Uri beginning with the mailto scheme. This will also work if you don't know the recipient beforehand:

final Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("mailto:"));
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "The Subject");
shareIntent.putExtra(
Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
Html.fromHtml(new StringBuilder()
    .append("<p><b>Some Content</b></p>")
    .append("<small><p>More content</p></small>")
    .toString())
);

You can achieve your task using this method Html.fromHtml(String);

Html.fromHtml("<font color='#ff123456'>text</font>")
