Pass sms body to default sms app

Pass sms body to default sms app - android

I found multiple threads here about this, but none of them are working for me. This is my code:
public void sendSMS (String number, String body) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("smsto:" + number));
i.putExtra("abc", body);
startActivity(i);
}
It opens stock SMS app and passes the number to send, but text body is empty.
I also tried this Uri.fromParts(body, number, null) but then the app just crashes.

Replace your code with below code. You are not passing correct keys to detect number and text body for the sms.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("sms:" + phoneNumber));
intent.putExtra("sms_body", message);
startActivity(intent);
Please read this documentation for detailed information.
Compose an SMS/MMS message with attachment

Try this
Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("sms:" + phoneNumber));
smsIntent.putExtra("address", "12125551212");
smsIntent.putExtra("sms_body","Body of Message");
startActivity(smsIntent);

If you want to ensure that your intent is handled only by a text messaging app (and not other email or social apps), then use the ACTION_SENDTO action and include the "smsto:" data scheme. For example:
public void composeMmsMessage(String message, Uri attachment) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("smsto:")); // This ensures only SMS apps respond
intent.putExtra("sms_body", message);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, attachment);
if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivity(intent);
}
}

Intent to open SMS app to send SMS to any selected address?

I know since KitKat the code to start the SMS app is the following:
String default_sms_package_name = Telephony.Sms.getDefaultSmsPackage(context);
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);
if (default_sms_package_name != null) intent.setPackage(default_sms_package_name);
But is there a way to preselect the SMS receiver like the SMS body?

Yes you can use ACTION_VIEW and set as many numbers as you want with address parameter as below.
Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
smsIntent.setData(Uri.parse("smsto:"));
smsIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
smsIntent.putExtra("address" , new String("0123456789;3393993300"));
smsIntent.putExtra("sms_body" , "Test SMS to Angilla");
startActivity(smsIntent);

Send SMS to multiple phone number when messenger is set as default sms app in android

I have implemented the ability to send message in my app and it is working well. But if the user is using another sms app like messenger as their default sms app then, I can't send message to multiple recipients.
If multiple phone number is selected, only one of them get the message in most cases the last phone number.
NOTE: I'm using an implicit intent to send the message and it can send to multiple recipients on stock sms app.
Any help will ve greatly appreciated.
This is what I have as requested
Intent intent;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
String defaultSmsPackage = Telephony.Sms.getDefaultSmsPackage(getActivity());
if (defaultSmsPackage != null) {
intent.setPackage(defaultSmsPackage);
}
} else {
Uri numbersUri = Uri.parse("tel:" + phoneNumbers);
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, numbersUri);
intent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
}
intent.putExtra("address", phoneNumbers);
intent.putExtra("sms_body", message);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
if (intent.resolveActivity(getActivity().getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivity(intent);
}

Send a text message from my android application to Whatsapp to specific Contact

I'm trying to send a text message from my android application to Whatsapp to specific Contact. when I'm using below codes, I am succeed either to send message and have to pickup contact manually, or If Specific number chat window opens, but message is blank. So is it possible to do both with one intent ? Here is my code:
I can share message to WhatsApp, but contact i have to choose manually:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("text/plain");
i.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hello World");
try {
activity.startActivity(i);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Specific number in wats app window opens, but message is blank:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:" + number);
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
i.putExtra("sms_body", "smsText");
i.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
activity.startActivity(i);

Below code will helps you :
String strMessageToShare=YourEditText.getText().tostring();
final Intent myIntent = new Intent(
android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
myIntent.setType("text/plain");
myIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
new String[]{strMessageToShare});
YourActivity.this.startActivityForResult(Intent
.createChooser(myIntent, "Sharing message..."), 1);

This is what works for me.
The parameter 'body' gets not read by the whatsapp app, use 'Intent.EXTRA_TEXT' instead.
By setting the 'phoneNumber' you specify the contact to open in whatsapp.
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,
Uri.parse("smsto:" + "" + phoneNumber + "?body=" + encodedMessage));
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
sendIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
startActivity(sendIntent);

Text not passing to Whatsapp application using Intent

I am trying to launch whatsapp app from my app and passing some text to a particular number. Whatsapp App is launching and but text is not able to pass.
String smsNumber = "98*******3";
Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:" + smsNumber);
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, textWithClickableLink);
i.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
mContext.startActivity(i);
Is there anything missing in my code?
Please help me on this.
Thanks in advance!

Try this one:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:" + mobileno);
Intent whatsappIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
whatsappIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
String str = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.activity&hl=en";
whatsappIntent.putExtra("sms_body", str);
try {
activity.startActivity(whatsappIntent);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
// Whatsapp have not been installed
}

you can try this method, it should work. I have tested
private void shareWhatsApp() {
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "text to share");
//if you have any images to share sue this, uri is the uri of image
//shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
//shareIntent.setType("image/*"); for image sharing
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
startActivity(shareIntent);
}
This will launch WhatsApp application and you have to manually select the contacts and send. since they dont provide any SDK we cant send automatically.

I tried this code. It makes my app to open list of all app by which I can send messages. After selecting any app now I am able to send the message that I am attaching with intent.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "From Stockal App");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
mContext.startActivity(intent);
Thank you all for your response.

launch sms application with an intent

I have a question about an intent...
I try to launch the sms app...
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
int flags = Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP |
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP;
intent.setFlags(flags);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"));
context.startActivity(intent);
so, you can see that I put too much things in my intent, but that's because I don't know how I can do...
Thank's

To start launch the sms activity all you need is this:
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent.setData(Uri.parse("sms:"));
You can add extras to populate your own message and such like this
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", x);
then just startActivity with the intent.
startActivity(sendIntent);

Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
smsIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
smsIntent.putExtra("address", "12125551212");
smsIntent.putExtra("sms_body","Body of Message");
startActivity(smsIntent);

If android version is Kitkat or above, users can change default sms application. This method will get default sms app and start default sms app.
private void sendSMS() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) // At least KitKat
{
String defaultSmsPackageName = Telephony.Sms.getDefaultSmsPackage(this); // Need to change the build to API 19
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "text");
if (defaultSmsPackageName != null)// Can be null in case that there is no default, then the user would be able to choose
// any app that support this intent.
{
sendIntent.setPackage(defaultSmsPackageName);
}
startActivity(sendIntent);
}
else // For early versions, do what worked for you before.
{
Intent smsIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
smsIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
smsIntent.putExtra("address","phoneNumber");
smsIntent.putExtra("sms_body","message");
startActivity(smsIntent);
}
}

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
intent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
startActivity(intent);
That's all you need.

If you want to launch SMS Composing activity from some of your other activity and you also have to pass a phone number and SMS text, then use this code:
Uri sms_uri = Uri.parse("smsto:+92xxxxxxxx");
Intent sms_intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, sms_uri);
sms_intent.putExtra("sms_body", "Good Morning ! how r U ?");
startActivity(sms_intent);
Note: here the sms_body and smsto: is keys for recognizing the text and phone no at SMS compose activity, so be careful here.

Here is the code that will open the SMS activity pre-populated with the phone number to
which the SMS has to be sent. This works fine on emulator as well as the device.
Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
smsIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
smsIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
smsIntent.setData(Uri.parse("sms:" + phoneNumber));
startActivity(smsIntent);

In kotlin this can be implemented easily as follows:
/**
* If android version is Kitkat or above, users can change default sms application.
* This method will get default sms app and start default sms app.
*/
private fun openSMS() {
val message = "message here"
val phone = "255754......." //255 Tanzania code.
val uri = Uri.parse("smsto:+$phone")
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri)
with(intent) {
putExtra("address", "+$phone")
putExtra("sms_body", message)
}
when {
Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT -> {
//Getting the default sms app.
val defaultSmsPackageName = Telephony.Sms.getDefaultSmsPackage(context)
// Can be null in case that there is no default, then the user would be able to choose
// any app that support this intent.
if (defaultSmsPackageName != null) intent.setPackage(defaultSmsPackageName)
startActivity(intent)
}
else -> startActivity(intent)
}
}
This is modified answer of #mustafasevgi

Use
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
intent.setClassName("com.android.mms", "com.android.mms.ui.ConversationList");

I use:
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "text");
sendIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
startActivity(sendIntent);

Intent eventIntentMessage =getPackageManager()
.getLaunchIntentForPackage(Telephony.Sms.getDefaultSmsPackage(getApplicationContext));
startActivity(eventIntentMessage);

try {
Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
smsIntent.setData(Uri.parse("smsto:" + Uri.encode(number)));
smsIntent.putExtra("address", number);
smsIntent.putExtra("sms_body", message);
PackageManager pm = activity.getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> resInfo = pm.queryIntentActivities(smsIntent, 0);
for (int i = 0; i < resInfo.size(); i++) {
ResolveInfo ri = resInfo.get(i);
String packageName = ri.activityInfo.packageName;
if (packageName.contains("sms")) {
//Log.d("TAG", packageName + " : " + ri.activityInfo.name);
smsIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName(packageName, ri.activityInfo.name));
}
}
activity.startActivity(smsIntent);
} catch (Exception e) {
// Handle Error
}
Best way of doing this.

You can open default sms App and pass details as below :
Note : If u want to send to many numbers, separate each number with ";" inside string
String mblNumVar = "9876543210;9123456789";
Intent smsMsgAppVar = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
smsMsgAppVar.setData(Uri.parse("sms:" + mblNumVar));
smsMsgAppVar.putExtra("sms_body", "Hello Msg Tst Txt");
startActivity(smsMsgAppVar);
|Or| Use this function :
void openSmsMsgAppFnc(String mblNumVar, String smsMsgVar)
{
Intent smsMsgAppVar = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
smsMsgAppVar.setData(Uri.parse("sms:" + mblNumVar));
smsMsgAppVar.putExtra("sms_body", smsMsgVar);
startActivity(smsMsgAppVar);
}

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
//CHANGE YOUR MESSAGING ACTIVITY HERE IF REQUIRED
sendIntent.setClassName("com.android.mms", "com.android.mms.ui.ComposeMessageActivity");
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body",msgbody);
sendIntent.putExtra("address",phonenumber);
//FOR MMS
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/mms.png"));
sendIntent.setType("image/png");
startActivity(sendIntent);

The best code that works with Default SMS app is.
Uri SMS_URI = Uri.parse("smsto:+92324502****"); //Replace the phone number
Intent sms = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,SMS_URI);
sms.putExtra("sms_body","This is test message"); //Replace the message witha a vairable
startActivity(sms);

Compose SMS :
Uri smsUri = Uri.parse("tel:" + to);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, smsUri);
intent.putExtra("address", to);
intent.putExtra("sms_body", message);
intent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
startActivity(intent);

The below code works on android 6.0.
It will open the search activity in the default messaging application with the conversations related to specific string provided.
Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
smsIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
smsIntent.setClassName("com.android.mms", "com.android.mms.ui.SearchActivity");
smsIntent.putExtra("intent_extra_data_key", "string_to_search_for");
startActivity(smsIntent);
You can start the search activity with an intent. This will open the search activity of the default messaging application.
Now, to show a list of specific conversations in the search activity, you can provide the search string as string extra with the key as
"intent_extra_data_key"
as is shown in the onCreate of this class
String searchStringParameter = getIntent().getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
if (searchStringParameter == null) {
searchStringParameter = getIntent().getStringExtra("intent_extra_data_key" /*SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_INTENT_EXTRA_DATA*/);
}
final String searchString = searchStringParameter != null ? searchStringParameter.trim() : searchStringParameter;
You can also pass the SENDER_ADDRESS of the sms as string extra, which will list out all the conversations with that specific sender address.

For Kotlin simply do that:
val messageIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("smsto:03xxxxxxxxx"))
messageIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "Enter your body here")
startActivity(messageIntent)

on emulator this work for me
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.fromParts("sms", number, null));
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
i.putExtra("sms_body", remindingReason);
startActivity(i);

Sms Intent :
Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW");
/** creates an sms uri */
Uri data = Uri.parse("sms:");
intent.setData(data);

Either you can use this ,both are working fine on android above 4.4
Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
smsIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
smsIntent.putExtra("address","9212107320");
smsIntent.putExtra("sms_body","Body of Message");
startActivity(smsIntent);
or
Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
smsIntent.putExtra("sms_body","Body of Message");
smsIntent.setData(Uri.parse("sms:9212107320"));
startActivity(smsIntent);

You can use the following code snippet to achieve your goal:
Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
smsIntent.setData(Uri.parse("smsto:"+model.getPhoneNo().trim()));
smsIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
smsIntent.putExtra("sms_body","Hello this is dummy text");
startActivity(smsIntent);
If you don't want any text then remove the sms_body key.
Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
smsIntent.setData(Uri.parse("smsto:"+shopkepperDataModel.getPhoneNo().trim()));
smsIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
startActivity(smsIntent);

Works up to Android 11. (Supports all supported SDKs)
btnMessageTo.setOnClickListener {
val phoneNumber = "+8801234567890"
val intent = Intent("android.intent.action.SENDTO")
intent.data =
Uri.parse("smsto:" + Uri.encode(phoneNumber ))
startActivity(intent)
}
