Step 5
 
Go to App ⇒ Res ⇒values⇒String.xml.
 
ANDROID
 
The string XML code
  1. <resources>  
  2.     <string name="contact_form">Contact Us</string>  
  3.     <string name="contact_form_name">Your Name</string>

  10.     <string name="app_name">contact form</string>  
  11. </resources>  
Step 6
 
Go to MainActivity.java. This Java program is that of Android. Add the following code.
  1. package abu.contactform;  
  2.   
  3. import android.app.Activity;  
  4. import android.content.Intent;  
  5. import android.os.Bundle;

  26.   
  27.   Button email = (Button) findViewById(R.id.post_message);  
  28.   email.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {  
  29.    @Override  
  30.    public void onClick(View v) {  
  31.   
  32.     String name = your_name.getText().toString();  
  33.     String email = your_email.getText().toString();  
  34.     String subject = your_subject.getText().toString();  
  35.     String message = your_message.getText().toString();  
  36.     if (TextUtils.isEmpty(name)) {  
  37.      your_name.setError("Enter Your Name");  
  38.      your_name.requestFocus();  
  39.      return;

  45.      your_email.setError("Invalid Email");  
  46.      return;  
  47.     }  
  48.   
  49.     if (TextUtils.isEmpty(subject)) {  
  50.      your_subject.setError("Enter Your Subject");  
  51.      your_subject.requestFocus();  
  52.      return;  
  53.     }  
  54.   
  55.     if (TextUtils.isEmpty(message)) {  
  56.      your_message.setError("Enter Your Message");  
  57.      your_message.requestFocus();  
  58.      return;  
  59.     }  
  60.   
  61.     Intent sendEmail = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);  
  62.   
  63.     /* Fill it with Data */  
  64.     sendEmail.setType("plain/text");  
  65.     sendEmail.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {  
  66.      "[email protected]"  
  67.     });  
  68.     sendEmail.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);  
  69.     sendEmail.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,  
  70.      "name:" + name + '\n' + "Email ID:" + email + '\n' + "Message:" + '\n' + message);  
  71.   
  72.     /* Send it off to the Activity-Chooser */  
  73.     startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendEmail, "Send mail..."));  
  74.   
  75.    }  
  76.   });  
  77.  }  
  78.   
  79.  @Override  
  80.  public void onResume() {  
  81.   super.onResume();  
  82.   //Get a Tracker (should auto-report)    
  83.  }  
  84.   
  85.  @Override  
  86.  protected void onStart() {  
  87.   super.onStart();  
  88.  }  
  89.   
  90.  @Override  
  91.  protected void onStop() {  
  92.   super.onStop();  
  93.  }  
  94.   
  95.  // validating email id    
  96.  private boolean isValidEmail(String email) {  
  97.   String EMAIL_PATTERN = "^[_A-Za-z0-9-\\+]+(\\.[_A-Za-z0-9-]+)*@" +  
  98.    "[A-Za-z0-9-]+(\\.[A-Za-z0-9]+)*(\\.[A-Za-z]{2,})$";  
  99.   Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(EMAIL_PATTERN);  
  100.   Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(email);  
  101.   return matcher.matches();  
  102.  }  
  103. }
