Android email doesn't work

I am trying to get an email sent from an Android. The device (a tablet) is configured to send email - because it returns "true" when I use mobileCanSendMail(). In my code, it says "Email sent" - but I never receive an email. What am I missing?
tto, tsubject and tmessage are all variables pulled from fields on the card.
Code: Select all
if the platform is "ios" then
revMail tto,,tsubject, field tmessage
answer "Email sent"
else if the platform is "android" then
mobileComposeUnicodeMail textencode("Heading","utf8"), "&tto&", "&tsubject&", , "&tmessage&"
answer "Email sent"
else
answer "This feature is for mobile devices."
end if
Thanks

Why all the quotes and stuff? And the order of params is not correct.
...
##mobileComposeUnicodeMail textencode("Heading","utf8"), "&tto&", "&tsubject&", , "&tmessage&"
## mobileComposeUnicodeMail subject, [recipients, [ccs, [bccs, [body, [attachments]]]]]
mobileComposeUnicodeMail textencode("Heading","utf8"), tto,,,tmessage
...
Presumed -> textencode("Heading","utf8") = tSubject?

I'm sorry. I tried this:
mobileComposeUnicodeMail textencode("Heading","utf8"), "&tto&", "&tsubject&", , "&tmessage&"
failed (processed - never received)
mobileComposeUnicodeMail textencode(tsubject,"utf8"), [tto, [, [, [tmessage, []]]]]
failed (red - wouldn't process)
mobileComposeUnicodeMail textencode(tsubject,"utf8"), tto, , , tmessage,
failed (processed - never received)

I have attached an stack that doesn't work - with this code
Code: Select all
on mouseup
put field "email" into temail
mobileComposeMail "Help",temail,,,field "Message"
answer "sent"
end mouseup
I am using an Samsung SM T280 tablet... and it doesn't work.
Is this a problem with my tablet? Or has Livecode changed its engine?

I don't develop for mobile, I don't even own any mobile device like cellphone or tablet or whatever!
But as I wrote earlier, you are using the wrong order of parameters, please look up the dictionary:
-> mobileComposeMail subject, [recipients, [ccs, [bccs, [body, [attachments]]]]]
The two empty parameters in my script are the lists of CC and BCC addressees.
...
## This works on iOS!
put "This is the subject" into tSubject
put "
klaus@wherever.com" into tAddressee
put fld "messsage body" into tMessage
mobileComposeMail tSubject,tAddressee,,,tMessage
...
