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 am creating an home replacement app for android(Launcher) and I want to place the sms , call, contacts ,gallery and browser apps in the home screen. How can I know the package name for them.
If the user is using a custom contact app as the default one , I need to get the package name of that one and not the android contact app.
How can I achieve this?Thanks.
You can use this code to get Intent to those thing. The problomatic one is the SMS one.
For sms:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
String defaultSmsPackageName = Telephony.Sms.getDefaultSmsPackage(ctx);
Intent lunchIntent;
if (defaultSmsPackageName != null) {
launchIntent = pm.getLaunchIntentForPackage(defaultSmsPackageName);
} else {
String SMS_MIME_TYPE = "vnd.android-dir/mms-sms";
launchIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
launchIntent.setType(SMS_MIME_TYPE);
}
} else {
String SMS_MIME_TYPE = "vnd.android-dir/mms-sms";
launchIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
launchIntent.setType(SMS_MIME_TYPE);
}
For call:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);
For browser:
Intent intent;
Intent queryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"));
ActivityInfo af = queryIntent.resolveActivityInfo(pm, 0);
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.setClassName(af.packageName, af.name);
For photos:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("content://media/internal/images/media"));
try {
context.startActivity(intent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException eee){
try {
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setType(android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.CONTENT_TYPE);
} catch (Exception err){
Toast.makeText(context, "This app not supported in your device", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
You could try getting the default launch activity for a specific Intent, for example for SMS you do an Intent with an sms:-URI, and from there check the 'default'-Activity its launching, on the way getting its package name and other details.
Get Preferred/Default app on Android
I'm using the following code to open an intent.
The problem is that the sms_body is no shown in the intent
String defaultSmsPackageName = Telephony.Sms.getDefaultSmsPackage(context);
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("smsto:" + Uri.encode(numbers.toString())));
intent.putExtra("sms_body", text);
if (defaultSmsPackageName != null)
{
intent.setPackage(defaultSmsPackageName);
}
Any idea on how I can transfer the sms_body in lollipop.
Use this code:
String yournumber="123456";
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent.setData(Uri.parse("sms:"+yournumber));
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "My first sms");
startActivity(sendIntent);
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 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.
Check com.android.mms.ui.SearchActivity for more information
You can also check this answer
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)
}
