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 want direct sent message to phone number with viber , this code not work any one can help
Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
smsIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
smsIntent.setPackage("com.viber.voip");
smsIntent.setData(Uri.parse("sms:+1001002003"));
smsIntent.putExtra("address", "+1001002003");
smsIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "body text");
startActivity(smsIntent);
You can use this method
public void sendToViber(String messageBody, String viberContact) {
Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:" + viberContact);
Intent viberIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
viberIntent.setPackage("com.viber.voip");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(viberIntent, "Share"));
}
I need to find all applications (among installed ones) that can open SMS. I have already found Gallery applications through the following method:
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
Intent newIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
newIntent.setType("image/*");
allApps = pm.queryIntentActivities(newIntent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
It gives me the list of all apps that can open images. Is there any similar way by which I can find all apps that can open SMS Messages?
You need to set set type as vnd.android-dir/mms-sms
Try this code :
Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:123456789");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
intent.putExtra("sms_body", "SMS text");
OR
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.putExtra("sms_body", "SMS text");
intent.putExtra("address", "123456789");
intent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
Hop it will help you :)
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
intent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
startActivity(intent);
Try this?
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Your Text");
sendIntent.setData(Uri.parse("sms:"));
startActivity(sendIntent);
I want to open native application to send sms but there should be already phone number. I found ACTION_SEND but when I'm calling my function it's return error that:
04-26 11:59:15.991: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(20198): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.SENDTO (has extras) }
My code presented here:
private void smsSend(String number) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, null);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER, number);
startActivity(intent);
}
I know that's is simple but I don't know why it does not work and I can not find any helfull information.
Thanks for any advice.
Why, this should work fine. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_SENDTO
Check out my code:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:0800000123");
Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
it.putExtra("sms_body", "The SMS text");
startActivity(it);
Thanks for the info !
Here is my solution using the previous info:
if (url.indexOf("tel:") > -1) {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse(url)));
return true;
}
else if (url.indexOf("sms:") > -1){
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse(url)));
return true;
}
Best regards.
I think you should use the following code:
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
//use to fill the sms body
StringBuilder uri = new StringBuilder("sms:" + mobilenumber);
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "");
sendIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
sendIntent.setData("");
startActivity(sendIntent);
I think this may help you.
On my side, the intent without uri parameter work for all devices,
except for Pixel Phone where I need to use it, so I check the 2 ways:
Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
smsIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
final Context context = activity.getApplicationContext();
final String phoneNumber = "1234567890";
final String msg = "Hello!";
smsIntent.putExtra("address", phoneNumber);
smsIntent.putExtra("sms_body", msg);
smsIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP |
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
final PackageManager manager = context.getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> infos = manager.queryIntentActivities(smsIntent, 0);
if (infos.size() <1) {
//No Application can handle your intent
//try in a another way ...
Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:"+phoneNumber);
smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
smsIntent.putExtra("sms_body", msg);
infos = manager.queryIntentActivities(smsIntent, 0);
}
if (infos.size() <1) {
//No Application can handle your intent
Log.e("SendMessage","No Application can handle your SMS intent");
}
In kotlin following code works with number and custom message
val defaultSmsPackageName = Telephony.Sms.getDefaultSmsPackage(activity)
val sendIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND)
sendIntent.type = "text/plain"
sendIntent.putExtra("address", "sms:"+contactNumber)
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, getString(R.string.share_msg_body))
Timber.e("defaultSmsPackageName: "+defaultSmsPackageName)
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)
activity!!.startActivity(sendIntent)
}
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)
}
