Sending an Array as content of a email

Is it somehow possible to pass a array as a content of a email ?

What I'm trying :

This is all in a onClick method

Getting the "EditText fields" first

EditText tbLocation = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.tbLocation);

Creating a string out of it 

String tbLocationMessage = tbLocation.getText().toString();

And then trying to send a email 

Intent email = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {});
                email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Near Miss Report");
                email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, new String []{tbLocationMessage,tbFuActionMessage,tbImActionMessage,tbIssueToRaiseMessage});

                // need this to prompts email client only
                email.setType("message/rfc822");

                startActivity(Intent.createChooser(email,
                        "Choose an Email client :"));

            }

When I set some breakpoints my arrays are all filled with the text that I entered in the text fields. But then when I choose my email client ("Gmail") Compose text field is empty...

Why is this happening ?

Use the below code snippet to get String object from the array of String and pass it in

private String getMyStringMessage(String[] arr){
   StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
   for(String s : arr) {
     builder.append(s);
   }
   return builder.toString();
}

email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, getMyStringMessage(yout_string_array));

Intent.EXTRA_TEXT should be a CharSequence, not an array of strings. Try concatenating them, rather than making an array of them. See: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#EXTRA_TEXT
