 Sending Email: Java
public void sendScoresViaEmail() {
Intent emailIntent =
new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
"Look at my AWESOME TicTacToe Score!");
// Can also fill To: using putExtra(..., EXTRA_EMAIL)
emailIntent.setType("plain/text");

You need <uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.SEND_SMS”/>

 SMS: Kotlin

String phoneNumber = "842-822-4357"; // TIC TAC HELP
String uri = "tel:" + phoneNumber.trim();
phoneIntent.setData(Uri.parse(uri));
startActivity(phoneIntent);

Needs:
<uses-permission

 Telephony: Kotlin

fun callTicTacToeHelp() {

Memory management is critical for Bitmaps! Consider using LRU

cache, library like Glide (https://github.com/bumptech/glide) to
handle them. See https://developer.android.com/topic/
performance/graphics/index.html for more info. (See also:

 Sensors
 Uses:
 Provide contextual and environmental data to app
 Tailor app to environment, how people are using devices
 Example Tic-Tac-Toe files:
 SensorsFragment class
 fragment_sensors.xml, list_item_sensor.xml
 Issues:
 Noisy sensor data on real-world devices
 Best tested on real devices. To simulate sensors on the emulator see:
https://github.com/openintents/sensorsimulator
 Inexpensive devices: Moto E (4th gen.), Moto G (5th gen.). See:
http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-budget-android-phone, Amazon, eBay

Type Examples
Motion Accelerometer, gyroscope
Environmental Light, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure
Miscellaneous Camera, microphone,
27 fingerprint, infrared
 Displaying Sensors
 Display all device sensors (and their Views
info) in a RecyclerView
 RecyclerView: displays (possibly
large) dynamic list/grid of “items”
with limited memory footprint
