How can I obtain a link (a URL) to a specific email (or the entire thread, if necessary) in the Gmail Android app? I want to be able to click that link and open the specific email.

Have you tried to copy a link from the GMail web UI and use it on Android? Apps can register for web URLs of a certain pattern, may be GMail app can just handle those links from the web interface?– RobertCommented May 4, 2022 at 16:19

1I think it can't be a direct link to the email.– Zou HairCommented May 4, 2022 at 17:57

@Robert I am looking to get the link from the Android app, specifically. I can definitely do it on the web, but this question is about the Android app. Thanks.– Chris MorrisCommented May 5, 2022 at 17:55

It is not possible without coding up a custom solution.

My explanation is that there are no existing solutions for this. There is not a lot of 'evidence' to point to, as it is the lack of a solution that is causing me to give the answer I am giving. Commented May 27, 2022 at 21:18
