I´m porting one app from HoneyComb to GTV.
One option of my app is send by mail some data, but I don´t see any apps related with mail functions..
It´s possible communicate via Intents with mail app´s on GTV?
No - simply because there is no mail app that comes pre-installed on Google TV. So you'd either need to setup your own email gateway server-side or require the user to download a mail application from Google Play. That said, I'm not aware of any compatible mail applications in Play for Google TV.

I am porting my application on Google App Engine. As part of application I have to send email to my application users regarding their content. I am able to send mails using my google account(i.e mymailid#gmail.com) under which I have hosted my application. But that's not good. I want to send mails from support#mydomai.com/info#mydomain.com to represent my company. For that I bought a domain from godaddy.com. Now I have no clue what to do next for sending mails from that domain. Can someone help me what are all required to do that?
Note: I am new to domain registration and web-hosting technology and terminology. So, I need it in layman style
How is Yahoo able to send push notifications for email to iPhone/iOS in general? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push-IMAP is as far as I've gotten in my research, but I'm not sure what exactly Yahoo is doing. I'm planning to setup my own mail server and I'm curious how Yahoo is able to push but others like Gmail is not.
I should mention I'm referring to the default Mail app, not Yahoo's custom mail app (not sure if they even have one).
Thanks!
Yahoo's IMAP server has a special capability 'XYMAPPLEPUSHSERVICE', which presumably is a proprietary way to negotiate use of Apple Push Notification Service
I am looking for sending SMS through my iPhone app.
There is a condition , i am not using the default composer of iPhone, i have designed my own design.
There is a text box and send button, so sms should go to the selected respective phone no of phone book.
I have done that with default compose, but i want to go with customize sms composer.
Please help in this case.
Thanks,
Gopal
If you want to use iOS' built-in SMS API, I'm afraid you must also use the built-in message composer (it's part of the package deal). That said, you could always use a third-party SMS gateway, and rather than send the SMS directly from the phone, you could send it via HTTP to the gateway.
I am so confused. My simple requirement is: i have an application which contains confirmation form i.e. nib file. It contains some textFields like name, age, email etc. I simply want when somebody click on submit button application send background and automatic email to email defined in textField. that email contain all information like name, age etc. User need not to fil anything and it should work in background. There are so many application do the same thing. I am creating booking application.
So how can i impliment this behaviour.
Apple does not provide a way to do this - and for good reason. Sending emails from the phone automatically introduces a lot of security risks.
I am willing to bet that the apps that do this use an intermediary server to which they post the data. When the data is posted then the server handles the sending of the emails.
To do this:
Send an HTTPS POST request to your server application.
From your server application, send an email via SMTP (or APIs built on top of SMTP).
Google AppEngine provides a simple and cheap way to create such a web service, running on top of Google's cloud-computing infrastructure. The sending mail from AppEngine help document includes detailed examples of how to send mail from your server application (assuming you use the Python version of Google AppEngine).
Unfortunately, there is no official feature for this but you could download a third-party library. Refer here for a couple of suggestions.
Currently when I send a mail message from within an iOS web app (fullscreen from home screen) the web app closes and the mail app opens.
The same thing happens in Color Mail: http://www.apple.com/webapps/productivity/colormail.html. When you send a mail message you are kicked out of the web app.
Is there a way to send a mail message and remain inside the fullscreen web app?
Thanks!
If you want to send an email without using the Apple Mail client (which is basically what you're asking) you'll need to use a web service that support sending email in response to a request.
For example, Amazon's Simple Email Service lets you send email in response to an API query.
However, if what you're after is sending an email message from the user's own account then you unfortunately must exit the app and go into Apple Mail - in much the same way that a mailto: link would do if you used it on a website.
EDIT: IF you were a native app, what you'd be after is the MFMailComposeViewController. It allows you to bring up a standard mail compose interface right within your app.
HOWEVER, since you're not, you're going to have to build your own form interface, and then take the form submission on the web app and send the mail from there.
