Adding Cc, Bcc and Subject fields to a message in an email sending Android app

I am making an email sending application on Android. Only To field is visible when I launch my application through a button click.

Why doesn’t it show Cc, Bcc and Subject fields? How to add these fields to my app? And how to show a default email address in the To field? (Now nothing is written in the To field by default.)

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
clickBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.sendemail);
clickBtn.setText("Send email");
clickBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        String aEmailList[] = { "[email protected]","[email protected]" };
        String aEmailCCList[] = { "[email protected]","[email protected]"};
        String aEmailBCCList[] = { "[email protected]" };
        emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, aEmailList);
        emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_CC, aEmailCCList);
        emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_BCC, aEmailBCCList);
        emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "My subject");
        emailIntent.setType("text/plain");
        emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "My message body.");
        startActivity(emailIntent);
        //startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
        finish();
    }
});

Best solution of this problem is

val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO)
        intent.data = Uri.parse("mailto:[email protected][email protected]&subject=subject text ...&body= extra text ")
        startActivity(intent)

EXTRA_CC is deprecated but is this way maybe resolve:

...

intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:[email protected][email protected]"));

intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_CC, new String[] { "[email protected]" });

You just had to make the second parameter a string array
