I want to send email through my application. I need to send HTML based email just through G-Mail. I found following solutions that each of them has pros and cons.

1) Using Intent (Intent.ACTION_SEND). This is very simple way and I can see my body in HTML format but the problem is when I click on "Send email" button, so many applications like Facebook and Google+ pop up which are useless and I shouldn't show it in that list. This is its code:

String html = "<!DOCTYPE html><html><body><a href=\"http://www.w3schools.com\" target=\"_blank\">Visit W3Schools.com!</a>" + "<p>If you set the target attribute to \"_blank\", the link will open in a new browser window/tab.</p></body></html>";

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {"MY EMAIL ADDRESS"});
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject here");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(html));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send email..."));

2) Using Intent (Intent.ACTION_SENDTO). This way Filters useless applications and shows me just mail clients. But it doesn't display my email in HTML format in gmail client. When i send the email some clients show the body in HTML format while others doesn't identify HTML and my link behaves like plain text. This code is like:

String html = "<!DOCTYPE html><html><body><a href=\"http://www.w3schools.com\" target=\"_blank\">Visit W3Schools.com!</a>" + "<p>If you set the target attribute to \"_blank\", the link will open in a new browser window/tab.</p></body></html>";
Intent send = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
String uriText = "mailto:MY
