I'm trying to develop an app that fetches emails from a POP3 server that is not Google and I'm facing many problems.
I'm using JavaMail library and following TutorialsPoint tutorial. Their example for pop3 works fine on Eclipse/desktop but when I move the code on Android it never works and I'm frustrated.
In logcat I get all heaps of errors first of which states that
W/System.err﹕ android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException even though I'm using AsyncTask (probably not correctly).
Is there a way that I can fix the AsyncTask to work correctly?
Also, is there a way that I can do something like this not using a professional app like K-9 Mail?
The code if somebody is interested:
public class FetchPop extends AsyncTask{
public static void fetch(String pop3Host, String storeType, String user,
String password) {
try {
// create properties field
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("mail.store.protocol", "pop3");
properties.put("mail.pop3.host", pop3Host);
properties.put("mail.pop3.port", "995");
properties.put("mail.pop3.starttls.enable", "true");
Session emailSession = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);
// emailSession.setDebug(true);
// create the POP3 store object and connect with the pop server
Store store = emailSession.getStore("pop3s");
store.connect(pop3Host, user, password);
// create the folder object and open it
Folder emailFolder = store.getFolder("INBOX");
emailFolder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
System.in));
// retrieve the messages from the folder in an array and print it
Message[] messages = emailFolder.getMessages();
Log.d("No. messages:", messages.length + ""); //just the number at first
/*for (int i = 0; i < messages.length; i++) {
Message message = messages[i];
writePart(message);
String line = reader.readLine();
if ("YES".equals(line)) {
message.writeTo(System.out);
} else if ("QUIT".equals(line)) {
break;
}
}*/
// close the store and folder objects
emailFolder.close(false);
store.close();
} catch (NoSuchProviderException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (MessagingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} /*catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
