Collect Email Addresses Example Use Case

Details
Email sign up will store names and email addresses to a text file on the SD Card. The “EmailSignUp” directory will be created. Then a CSV file will be created with a name corresponding to the current date. Names and addresses will be added to the CSV file as they are entered. The email address is the only required field. The email address is checked against a basic validation to make sure it is in a reasonable format.
Optional output to vCard formatted file is also supported. This vCard file can be imported to the contacts manager on the Android device. Writing the vCard file can be disabled from the preferences screen.
At your convenience the CSV file can be transferred off of the device. It can be uploaded to email service providers such as Aweber or Mail Chimp to add new subscribers to your mailing list.
