How to get list of installed email programs on android

I'm writing an Android app that emails reports to the user. I've seen apps that launch a list of other installed apps that can be used to send email and I am wondering how to do that.

I've looked at this code and this question.

How would you filter out from the list of installed apps to know which ones are used for email?

You should be able use a similar pattern to the one shown in the answer in your second link. You just need to change the intent:

final Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND, null);
final List<ResolveInfo> pkgAppsList
    = context.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(sendIntent, 0);

You might try this code from this answer:

    Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"[email protected]"});
    emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email..."));
