I need to send a message from my app to phone contact.
By using the following code i can pick the phone contact,
but message can't be send.. any threads??
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://contacts");
Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI);
it.putExtra("sms_body", "The SMS text");
startActivity(it);
???
u want to send sms programmatically or send though message application?
You can send sms programmatically in onActivityResult after choosing contact by code
try {
SmsManager smsManager = SmsManager.getDefault();
smsManager.sendTextMessage(phone, null, content, null, null);
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(context, "error: "+e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
I need to send through message application..
put code below in onActivityResult
switch (requestCode) {
case (PICK_CONTACT):
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Uri uri = data.getData();
String[] projection = { ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER};
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if(cursor.moveToFirst()) {
int numberColumnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
String number = cursor.getString(numberColumnIndex);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("sms:" + number));
intent.putExtra("sms_body", "content");
startActivity(intent);
}
cursor.close();
}
break;
}

Perhaps you should set your MIME_Type, try it.setType("text/plain");
