Question by Sussino · Jun 07, 2012 at 01:38 PM · emailapplication.openurl

Unity "Application.OpenURL" Doesnt work.

Hi,

I'm trying to use this code to open up email composer:

Application.OpenURL("mailto:email@hotmail.com?subject=Email&body=Unity");

but the problem is it doesn't work. I replaced the url with "www.google.com" and it works fine but as soon as I replace it with mailto, doesnt work.

I even used "mailto:email@hotmail.com?subject=Email&body=Unity" on my browser and it works.

Can someone please help me with this. Is there anything I should do in Unity before using "mailto"?

Thanks.

Standalone, webbuild or mobile?

On the editor it doesnt do anything and on Android it crashes. but OpenURL for websites works fine on both.

I was also having difficulties with this which turned out to be a need to escape some characters (like spaces etc.) in the mail subject. This can be done using System.Uri.EscapeDataString.

 string mailSubject = System.Uri.EscapeDataString ("Email from my Unity app");
 string mailRecipient = "not_real@umail.com";
 string mailURL = "mailto:" + mailRecipient + "?subject=" + mailSubject;
 Application.OpenURL(mailURL);

Application.OpenURL("mailto:email@hotmail.com?subject=Email&body=Unity");

I guess Android is only Pro.

But $$anonymous$$e doesnt even do anything in the editor. that's the problem. opening an URL is fine but not mailto... is there something wrong with my unity software? I just upgraded to the latest one a few days ago.
