Send mail from the app

We want to implement Contact Us button. 

User will be able to send an e-mail to my designated mailbox. [I might check it :)]

1. 

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("message/rfc822");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL  , new String[]{"recipient@example.com"});
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject of email");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT   , "body of email");
try {
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
    Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} 

But this requires e-mail client (?) and doesnt have sender address. How would I respond then?

2.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO); // it's not ACTION_SEND intent.setType("text/plain"); intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject of email"); intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Body of email"); intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:default@recipient.com")); // or just "mailto:" for blank intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); // this will make such that when user returns to your app, your app is displayed, instead of the email app. startActivity(intent);

more code examples.
One of these should work I hope.
