I'm wondering if I can send text data from my Android application to WhatsApp without showing the contacts list of WhatsApp, I just need to set the message and the mobile number internally in my Android code?
You can try something like this:
public void sendWhatsappMessageToMsisdn(String contactNumber)
{
Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:" + contactNumber);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
intent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is the message you want to send");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, ""));
}

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);
}
}
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);
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.
I want to send message to specific Whatsapp contact. I have done following code but it only opens chatbox with specific contact but does not sent message.
//send message
String number="97*******";
Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:" + number);
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hi this is demo");
sendIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, ""));
When I add
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
it gives alert "No Application to perform this action".
Please tell how to resolve this. Thanks in advance.
