Use other SMTP settings in android apps rather than gmail to send emails

Good day,

Currently I am using Gmail to send emails directly from an android app that I am working on. This app logs into my gmail account and sends the email. However, I do not want to use gmail to send emails from the app. I want to use another email from my own domain. How do I do this? All tutorials online only use gmail to send emails from an android app? How can I implement my own SMTP details in my code for the emails to be sent from my domain?

Just changing the SMTP details in the code from gmail to my domain's details is not working. Any ideas or links that point to something similiar?

Regards,
Chris

This will allow you to access your mail client before sending the mail. Meaning you can use your account as well ;)

My app is sending the email without a mail client and should not use a mail client. But I am using a gmail email and account to send the email where I want to use an email address from my own domain for example address@mydomain.com instead of address@gmail.com. I do not want user input so this solution won't work for the current task, but thank you
