I need to be able to send text to a whatsapp contact, stack overflow seems to unanimously agree that this works:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:" + "<number>");
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "YOOOH");
// sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
sendIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
startActivity(sendIntent);
If .setType("text/plain"); is commented out, it just opens whatsapp to the chat of the number I gave it, but if I don't comment it out, nothing happens at all, any help appreciated.
change and add the last line remove the comment of sendIntent.setType
Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:" + "<number>");
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "YOOOH");
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
// this line helps to open the chooser dialog
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, getResources().getString(R.string.share)));
Look at this code snippet that one also handled case if user not installed
whatsApp.
PackageManager pm=getPackageManager();
try {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
String text = "YOUR TEXT HERE";
PackageInfo info=pm.getPackageInfo("com.whatsapp", PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
//Check if package exists or not. If not then code
//in catch block will be called
intent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share with"));
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "WhatsApp not Installed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
I am sending mms via android intent. I am adding the code. Please review
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Test message");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File("/storage/emulated/0/testmessage.jpg")));
intent.setType("image/jpeg");
startActivity(intent);
My problem is, How we can add recipients? I am trying this in my code
intent.putExtra("address", "045263299");
When i add this line, the number will show but the image and text will be disappear. I want to add image, text and phone number and send mms through intent.
Thanks
Too late for you but could be useful to someone else.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION | Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mmsto:"+ phoneNumber));
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
intent.putExtra(intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
if (intent.resolveActivity(activity.getPackageManager()) != null)
{
activity.startActivity(intent);
}
I was wondering how I can create and start an intent using this:
"qsrtech.posprintdriver/.printservice"
I downloaded the POS Printer Driver (ESC) app (which is the app I am trying to access).
I tried this:
String PrintPage = "qsrtech.posprintdriver/.printservice";
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.setComponent(ComponentName.unflattenFromString(PrintPage));
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER );
startActivity(intent);
However, I get an error saying:
"No activity found to handle this intent"
I was wondering if there is anything I can do to access this intent? The thing is that I'm not sure if I'm accessing an activity or a background service (probably an intent service?) from a different app.
Here is the link that explains more about this intent.
http://www.qsrtechnologies.com/aboutposdriver.html
You can try with this :
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra("Data", "Test printer\n\n");
sendIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName("qsrtech.posprintdriver","qsrtech.posprintdriver.printservice"));
startService(sendIntent);
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra("Data", "Test printer\n\n");
sendIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName("qsrtech.posprintdriver","qsrtech.posprintdriver.printservice"));
startService(sendIntent);
Worked like a charm here.
Is it possible to attach more than one image in android? I use this code :
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File("/sdcard/file.gif")));
but I want to send two or three images.
I solved it.
before i have this code :
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
and now i have this :
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
and this
ArrayList<Uri> uris = new ArrayList<Uri>();
uris.add(Uri.fromFile(new File("/sdcard/file1.gif")));
uris.add(Uri.fromFile(new File("/sdcard/file1.gif")));
sendIntent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);
thank for all
I'm starting to learn how to develop apps for Android, and I'm having some issues with intents--it just doesn't seem like they're documented at all. All I want to do is send the user to the video recorder, where they record a video, and the video information is returned to my app. I know this is possible, as I've seen it in other apps, but it seems like the intent is undocumented (or I'm just not completely understanding how intents work).
Any thoughts?
Apart from above solutions, here are a list of common intents
//show web page intent:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.google.com");
Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,uri);
startActivity(it);

Intent it = new Intent(Intent.Action_VIEW,uri);
startActivity(it);
//show ways

startActivity(it);
//call dial program

Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, uri);
startActivity(it);

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_WEB_SEARCH);
intent.putExtra(SearchManager.QUERY,"searchString")
startActivity(intent);
In general, the Android developer docs are a good place to look for this kind of thing: there's a list of common intent actions in the Intent class reference. For recording video, check out the ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE intent action defined by the Media provider.
You might want to check out OpenIntents
This is relatively new from Google (they seem to have updated their old page which just showed Intents for standard Google apps).
Common Intents
It tells you exact Intent specification for performing a wide range of actions with apps for the following:
Alarm Clock
Camera
Calendar
Contacts / People
Email
File Storage
Maps
Music / Video
Phone Dialler
Settings
Text Messaging
Web browsing
It's important now that Google have provided a definitive list of the Intents that should be used for performing a given action, that we use them exactly as provided there. The reasoning behind Intents is all about a standard method of communication between apps (i.e. different developers), so it is important for the sake of your app's compatibility to talk in exactly the same language as the one everyone else will be using.
