Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra("address","5554);
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "some text");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(url));
sendIntent.setType("image/png");
I have already given the receiver number programatically. Now I wanted only the "Send MMS" button event here. So can I handle it in code itself? My aim is disabling UI in this context. Is this achievable?
Is there anyway for attaching image without using intent??
Plz help.
Using "Intent.ACTION_SEND" will launch SMS/MMS applications. I think that is not what you want.
MMS is a http post request. You have to implement in another way.
you will need to create member of type Activity which should injected in this class as constructor method or setter and within that context if you try your function it might solve.i have successfully send sms by this way.

I have created Intent chooser for my application. I want to send email and sms by this. My code is here http://pastie.org/8966227 . But I can get the result properly. The control always comes into second loop only. Any body can help me? thanks in advance.
You can't check which intent has user selected.
Unless you create your own implementation of the dialog for the activity selection.
To create such dialog you need to use PackageManager and its queryIntentActivities() function. The function returns List.
More information is available here and here.
I m creating an app which opens another app in the background and my first app will be sending some string as a data to another app, so can I send Intents to another app's like we usually send intents to other classes containing data?
If we can then how can I send it?
Yes , you can send the intent to any app you like but its upto the receiving application to handle it.
Few apps may crash receiving it.
The way
Make an intent
Intent i=new Intent(yourContext,Activity_to_which_you_to_send.class);
Put some data-if you want to
i.putExtraString("key","value");
or put using a bundle
Bundle b=new Bundle();
b.putString(key,boolean_value);
b.putBoolean(key,boolean_value)
Starting the activity
startActivity(i);
Set the package of the app
i.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
Example
if you want to find out the main Activity of an app
go to command line
type adb shell pm -lf
pick any one and try it by passing as a second argument to the intent constructor defined above and then call startActivity method.
hope it helps you.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(name,yourString);
try{
startActivity(intent);
} catch (Exception ActivityNotFoundException){
ActivityNotFoundException.printStackTrace();
}
Use this code to send an intent to another app and specify the name value and string in putExtra function.
Yes you can send Intent to another app like we send to other classes with passing data as a string so you can see it HERE
Yes. "App" is not so well defined on Android, it's a loose term. Intents are used to start an Activity, among other things.
I am using this code to share link in android app.
Intent i=new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("text/plain");
i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"Subject test");
i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "extra text that you want to put");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i,"Share via"));
But i want to add cutom intent option in dialoag box.
If i have twitter and facebook app in my phone, then above code give me share option
1) Twitter
2) Facebook
3) Bluetooth(if phn supported)
Also with this I want to add
4) Commnets (on comments click user will go my Comment activity)
I want to make share like this.
Can anyone help. Thanks in advance.
You are creating a chooser. It contains all intents that reply to ACTION_SEND text/plain.
To have your comment activity in that list, you need make an intent-filter in your manifest matching that actions for your comment Activity.
Alternatively (and moreeasily, too), if you don't want your Comment activity to respond to external ACTION_SEND text/plain, you can use the response given to this question : Custom filtering of intent chooser based on installed Android package name : Add a Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS extra to the intent.
I need to allow user to draw/sketch/paint something. There are already many apps(like Skitch, I will use this as an example) that accomplish this task. So I don't want to re-invent the wheel.
In Android, theoretically, we can launch other activity by intent. This is sort of like "pipe" in Unix.
The problem is, I don't know how to get the information for launching Skitch.
To integrate Skitch in my app, I need to know the Action it supports, the returning intent (if any) when it finishes.
I installed Skitch, photoshop, and lots of other touch drawing apps in my device, but this code doesn't work :
Uri data = Uri.fromFile(file);
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_EDIT);
i.setData(data);
i.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(i, ACTIVITY_DRAW);
I can launch Skitch from my app in the following way: but obviously I can't get any returned result this way(code from here).
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
PackageManager manager = getPackageManager();
i = manager.getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.evernote.skitch");
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
startActivity(i);
My question: Is there a standard way to find information for launching a third party app?
Is this site the only way to share/get such information?
Or if you have any suggestions for my problem, please help me.
Thank you!
As you might already know how to call another application Activity from your app ..this way Mentioned Here.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_RUN);
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("<packet name>", "<class name>"));
List list = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent, packageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DEFAULT);
if(list.size() > 0)
{
Log.i("Log", "Have application" + list.size());
startActivity(intent);
}
else
{
Log.i("Log", "None application");
}
All your require is Mainly Two Things to call any Activity
1) Package Name of that Activity
2) Activity Class Name
These two informations only can be available if they are opensource or made free to use .. like Zxing,Google Maps Application.
There is another way to start an application activity like,
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + numberField.getText())); // set the Uri
startActivity(intent);
For this way to use need to know the correct Action for the Activity you want to call and the Correct parameter to pass with.
And again,These information only can be available if they are opensource or made free to use .. like Facebook and Gmail apps to share and post messages.
So If you are searching for anything like which can tell you what you will need to pass to call any specific comercial apps in your device, you wont find it directly.
It's an old question but perhaps it could help somebody to know that Sony's AppXplore application (free) shows the package and name of the activities of every app installed on your device, so you can eventually use them to do explicit Intents.
friend's,
I there any possibility to bind the result of Intent class in xml layout,
i'm doing it so for sending mail,i'm using below code for sending mail in
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
new String[] { "info#blacksheep.com" });
sendIntent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.dir/email");
when i use the above code it opens a new page,but i need it to be in the layout alone.
How can i get it.
Thanks in advance.

You cannot do that, sorry. You are opening an activity from another application (whatever the user chooses to handle your ACTION_SEND request) -- it controls the presentation, not you.
