Sending email using GMail in android

I am trying to open email sending form of Gmail directly on button click but this always shows a list of options for sending email.

I am doing this for opening GMail form:

            Intent emailIntent = new Intent( android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            String[] recipients = new String[]{"" , "" ,};
            emailIntent.putExtra( android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, recipients);
            emailIntent.putExtra( android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "This is my text" );
            emailIntent.putExtra( android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "");
            emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
            startActivity( Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send Email" ));

but this is not opening GMail form. What can i do for opening GMail form please help.

Is there any way to do this?

use something on the lines

public void sendGmail(Activity activity, String subject, String text) {
    Intent gmailIntent = new Intent();
    gmailIntent.setClassName("com.google.android.gm", "com.google.android.gm.ComposeActivityGmail");
    gmailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
    gmailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
    try {
      activity.startActivity(gmailIntent);
    } catch(ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
      // handle error
    }
}
