Send mail from Android application without using default/built-in application

We know, We can send an e-mail using Intents, This will invoke either default mail app or built-in device mail apps to send an e-mail. This is unnecessary for user to work on e-mail application while he is trying to work an our application. So the question is
how to send an e-mail from android application without user interaction?
Answer is you can achieve this using JavaMail API.
You have to use following three jars.
  1. mail.jar
  2. activation.jar
  3. additionnal.jar
Complete code:

Simple example of OCRReader in Android.

Hi Friends, Maybe you all heard/used text scanning using camera feature or extracting text from Image. But this sample made it very easy for you. You can made it in very simple line of code. You can download the source code from OCRSample and import the library as a module into your project. Example usage : MainActivity.java public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { private TextView textView; private final int CAMERA_SCAN_TEXT = 0; private final int LOAD_IMAGE_RESULTS = 1; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); textView = findViewById(R.id.textView); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater(); inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu); return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu); } @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSele

Set limit for fraction in decimal numbers in EditText

            Already we know that we can set which type of input the edittext should accept from user using android:inputType="numberDecimal" But there is no predefined function to set the limit for the edittext to How many digit it should accept after the decimal point from user . We can achieve this by using TextWatcher . Full code example. Following program creates a Decimal Filter. DecimalFilter.java import android.text.Editable; import android.text.InputFilter; import android.text.TextWatcher; import android.view.KeyEvent; import android.view.View; import android.view.View.OnKeyListener; import android.widget.EditText; public class DecimalFilter implements TextWatcher { int count= -1 ; EditText et; Activity activity; public DecimalFilter(EditText edittext, Activity activity) { et = edittext; this.activity = activity; } public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) { if (s.length() > 0) { String str = et.getText().toString(); et.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyL

Simple example of using Spinner in Kotlin | Android

Though Kotlin has lot massive features to speedup the development time, here is the simple way of using Spinner in Android. In Kotlin we don't need to declare and initialize Spinner. We can simply access the id of Spinner from xml. Ex : import android.os.Bundle import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity import android.view.View import android.widget.AdapterView import android.widget.ArrayAdapter import android.widget.Toast import android.widget.Toast.LENGTH_LONG import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_main.* class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.activity_main) //String array. val myStrings = arrayOf("One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five") //Adapter for spinner mySpinner.adapter = ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_i
