You also might want to try this development version of JavaMail for Android, especially if you want to use OAuth2 authentication instead of enabling support for less secure apps. — Bill Shannon

You need to properly setup your Gmail account.

If you have 2-step verification enabled:

Please follow this tutorial to create an app password for your app.

If you don't have 2-step verification enabled:

Simply enable less secure apps login here.

I don't recommend it, though. I believe your password is stored in plain text as a String value, right?
A little bit of reverse engineering and it's out in the public.
