Not able to send Email using javax in android app

Question

I am using following code to send E-mail:

 Properties props = new Properties();
       props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
       props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
       props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class",
               "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
       props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
       props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");

       Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,
               new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
                   protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                       return new PasswordAuthentication("sender@gmail.com","123456");
                   }
               });

       try {

           Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
           message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("sender@gmail.com"));
           message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                   InternetAddress.parse("reciever@gmail.com"));
           message.setSubject("Testing Subject");
           message.setText("Dear Mail Crawler," +
                   "\n\n No spam to my email, please!");

           Transport.send(message);

           System.out.println("Done");

       } catch (MessagingException e) {
           throw new RuntimeException(e);
       }

I have already required .jar with my android project. No exception was there but i didn't get any Email.

What i am missing here?

I have already added following line in my AndroidManifest.xml:

<intent-filter>
     <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
     <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>

You can't make network request in the main thread. Do it inside separate thread:

new Thread(new Runnable(){
  public void run(){
    //...your code
  }
}).start();

Or use AsyncTask:http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html
