send a jpg image throug MMS using HTC

I am trying to send a jpg image through MMS using an HTC device (2.3.5, HTC Desire HD-Sense), I am using the following snippet
File sendfilepath = new File("file://" + sendfile);
Uri urimms = Uri.fromFile(sendfilepath);
Intent sendIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.SEND_MSG");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, urimms);
sendIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
startActivity(sendIntent);
It opens the Messaging app but it does not attach the image. I do not know why? It shows a toast "Cannot load message"

Something like this should work:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("mmsto:<number>");
intent.putExtra("address", <number>);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, urimms);
intent.setType("image/jpeg");
startActivity(intent);
Otherwise these links look to be a little outdated but you should be able to translate everything pretty well:
Android MMS Intent with with Image and body text
http://androidforums.com/application-development/25988-send-image-action_send.html

try this
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setClassName("com.android.mms", "com.android.mms.ui.ComposeMessageActivity");
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "some text");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/image_4.png"));
sendIntent.setType("image/png");
startActivity(sendIntent);;

Sending MMS does include the "sms_body"

I am trying to send an image via an MMS using the following code
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "Hi there");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(url));
sendIntent.setType("image/png");
It opens the Messaging apps and attach the message but it did not write the "sms_body" which is in my case "Hi there". Why?

try this:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setClassName("com.android.mms", "com.android.mms.ui.ComposeMessageActivity");
intent.putExtra("subject", "subject");
intent.putExtra("sms_body", "Hi there");
intent.putExtra("address", "Phonenumber");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(url));
intent.setType("image/png");
startActivity(intent);

What seems to be working well is I just added EXTRA_TEXT (a solution which #yasserbn provided in a comment):
intent.putExtra(intent.EXTRA_TEXT, default_message);
in addition to:
intent.putExtra("sms_body", default_message);
And it seems to work whether it gets converted to multimedia message or sent as regular SMS.

send sms with a preset phone number

I want to send an sms message and this code snippet works:
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "Check out this Punchit app!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.punchit");
sendIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
startActivity(sendIntent);
Now I want to preset the phone number and tried both of the following:
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:9999999999" ));
and
sendIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER, "9999999999");
Neither of these two statements work, so what is the correct syntax for presetting a phone number?

test as follows:
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "Hello1");
sendIntent.putExtra("address", "12345");
sendIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms")

How to attach a xml file to a SMS/MMS message using the Android API

I have a custom file type (MIME_TYPE), basically xml, that I'd like to enable users to send to each other. Implementing the email send feature with the xml file as an attachment was straight forward but I'm kinda stuck on the SMS/MMS send feature. Anyone have any guidance?
final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND, Uri.parse("mms://"));
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra("address", "2125551212");
String url = "content://myFile.txt";
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(url));
intent.putExtra("sms_body", "some text goes here");
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "mms-sms:"), SENT_TEXT);
the intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM... doesn't seem to work, I get an error message:
"UNABLE TO ATTACH. FILE NOT SUPPORTED"

try this its worked with me for Send Photo.
use
Uri.fromFile
instead of
Uri.parse
File f=new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/DCIM/Camera/"+img_name);
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra("", "");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(f));
sendIntent.setType("image/png");
startActivity(sendIntent);

Android - Sending audio-file with MMS

Im using the following code to send audio-files through email, dropbox +++..
This is not giving me the option to send the same file through MMS..
Anyone know how to attach it to a MMS and let the user send if he/she wants?
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("audio/3gpp");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://" + aFile));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Send file"));

you can used this code..
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setClassName("com.android.mms", "com.android.mms.ui.ComposeMessageActivity");
sendIntent.putExtra("address", "9999999999");
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "if you are sending text");
final File file1 = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath(),"Downloadtest.3gp");
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file1);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
sendIntent.setType("video/3gp");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Send file"));
you have to used your appropriate set type .if audio then audio/*,image then image/png
