如何在点击电子邮件ID时启用发送电子邮件？

Question

I am developing an android app for an University. I have an email id mentioned in certain activity of my app. I want the user to send a mail when clicked on this email id as we do using HTML using a mailto function. I searched all the possible way but could not get a solution relative to my requirement. Here is a small snippet of my code.

<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView6"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView5"
android:layout_below="@+id/textView5"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress" 
android:text="[e-mail]" />

Is there any possible way to achieve this. Please anyone guide me.

Thanks in advance.

Add android:autoLink="email" to your TextView

<TextView
  android:id="@+id/textView6"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView5"
  android:layout_below="@+id/textView5"
  android:autoLink="email"
  android:inputType="textEmailAddress" 
  android:text="[e-mail]" />
