Hi all,
I decided to pick up the old textbook and start to learn more about Java (I know, I should understand most of it by this point :D).
I am focusing on the interaction between the application and sending of emails. As I eventually want to port this code to android studio and use it to create an email application for android.
Here is the code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Recipient's email ID needs to be mentioned.
String to = "example";
// Sender's email ID needs to be mentioned
String from = "example";
// Setting the host and port
String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
String port = "465";
// Get system properties
Properties properties = System.getProperties();
// Setup mail server
properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host);
properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.port", port);
properties.setProperty("mail.user", "example");
properties.setProperty("mail.password", "example");
// Get the default Session object.
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);
try {
// Create a default MimeMessage object.
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
// Set From: header field of the header.
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
// Set To: header field of the header.
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
// Set Subject: header field
message.setSubject("This is the Subject Line!");
// Now set the actual message
message.setText("This is actual message");
// Send message
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Sent message successfully....");
} catch (MessagingException mex) {
mex.printStackTrace();
}
}
My code no longer fails to connect or times out, it just continues to run (likely until my system crashes). After stepping through the code - it seems to hang right at
Transport.send(message);
Since it never throws an error, I cannot get an exception code or any details.
If you guys could take a look at my code and point out any mistakes, that'd be awesome.
Thanks!!!
