Apps how to get multiple extra text in email form android

[Pooveshin]

Hi all

I need to get multiple values to an email form, however when i use the EXTRA_TEXT the system only displays the last value. Can anyone help? My code can be seen below.

public void email(View button){
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
startActivity(emailIntent);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send your email in:"));

String aEmailList[] = { "property@venns.co.za"};

emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, aEmailList);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Property Query: ");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Full Name:");
emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
//emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Query and Telephone Number: ");
EditText num1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.num1);
String message = num1.getText().toString();
EditText num2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.num2);
String message1 = num2.getText().toString();
EditText num3 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.num3);
String message2 = num3.getText().toString();
EditText num4 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.num4);
String message3 = num4.getText().toString();
emailIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_TEXT, message);
startActivity(emailIntent);
}

Do you wish to concatenate all the strings together? If so, use StringBuilder and append the individual strings from your EditTexts.

I have tried that however it didnt work as it needs to find the view and pull the data

So, using the code above, how about this?

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
EditText num1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.num1);
sb.append(num1.getText().toString());
EditText num2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.num2);
sp.append(" ").append(num2.getText().toString());
EditText num3 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.num3);
sb.append(" ").append(num3.getText().toString());
EditText num4 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.num4);
sb.append(" ").append(num4.getText().toString());
emailIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_TEXT, sb.toString());
startActivity(emailIntent);

Thank you so much, your code works perfectly, when i doing it i was not appending the code properly.

Can I please bug you for one last thing... how would I get the output to show one below the other eg.
1.
2.
3.

I am using the "/n" however its not working, its displaying the /n.

Use "\n" not "/n"

As in

sb.append("1.\n")
sb.append("2.\n")
sb.append("3.\n")

sb.append("1.\n")
sb.append("2.\n")
sb.append("3.\n")

I couldn't thank you enough for all your help.
