Sending mail in android without intents using SMTP

Question

Hi I am developing an android app which will send mail on click of a button. Code worked at first but due to some reason its not working now. Could anyone please help me with this? [email protected] is the recipient. [email protected] is the sender. I have hard coded the subject and the body of the mail.

package com.example.clc_construction;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.activation.DataHandler;
import javax.activation.DataSource;
import javax.activation.FileDataSource;

public class Email extends Activity
{
public String jobNo;
public String teamNo;

        try {

        {
            return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
        }
    });
}

private Message createMessage(String email, String subject, String messageBody, Session session) throws

{
    Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
    message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[email protected]", "Naveed Qureshi"));
    message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(email, email));
    message.setSubject(subject);
    message.setText(messageBody);
    return message;
}



public class SendMailTask extends AsyncTask<Message, Void, Void>

    }

    protected Void doInBackground(javax.mail.Message... messages)
    {
        try
        {
            Transport.send(messages[0]);
        } catch (MessagingException e)

Put in your manifest file,

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

check if you have internet connection,

public boolean isOnline() {
    ConnectivityManager cm =
        (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo netInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    if (netInfo != null && netInfo.isConnectedOrConnecting()) {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

and finnaly use this code to send email

final String username = "[email protected]";
final String password = "password";

Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");

Session session = Session.getInstance(props,
  new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
    protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
        return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
    }
  });
    try {
        Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
        message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
        message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
            InternetAddress.parse("[email protected]"));
        message.setSubject("Testing Subject");
        message.setText("Dear Mail Crawler,"
            + "

 No spam to my email, please!");

        MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();

        Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();

        messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
        String file = "path of file to be attached";
        String fileName = "attachmentName"
        DataSource source = new FileDataSource(file);
        messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
        messageBodyPart.setFileName(fileName);
        multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

        message.setContent(multipart);

        Transport.send(message);

        System.out.println("Done");

    } catch (MessagingException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
