How can we get inline images in default email client for android through Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) ?
2 Answers
You can not. As default Email application's doesn't support <img /> tag.
Because, ImageSpan doesn't implementing Parcelable.
Hence its failed with Intent's PUT_EXTRA.
Its works only for basic tags, like, <b>, <i> ..etc
Look at Sending html email in android using <table>, etc. - is there really no relatively built-in Intent way? and How to show an image in the email body?

String body ="<html><body><table>...</table></body></html>";
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("text/html");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(body).toString());
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Email:"));
Unfortunately, the <table> ,'img' tag isn't supported. Supported tags are actually more dependent on the email client you use to send the email - some of them are more finicky/restrictive than others. Most of them use the super-basic formatting tags like <b>, <i>, <h1>, and so on, though.
