I tried the smsto:uri method. It works fine, but does not allow me to
attach the picture that I am passing with the intent.
"it.setType("image/jpeg");" causes my application to crash, and without
this line of code, it would not attach an image file with the intent.My client has now agreed to let a chooser be there. But I now want the chooser to show choices that can send mms only, and omit other applications. I think, correct me if wrong, getting list of all packages for the intent, and making a custom dialog box to pick one of the package would get me through right? I was wondering if there was a shorter way :( On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 6:02 AM, Justin Anderson <magouyaw...@gmail.com>wrote: > How to go about these? >> > > http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#queryIntentActivities%28android.content.Intent,%20int%29 > > But seriously... you need to tell your client that they shouldn't lock the > user into trying to use one app. I don't use the default mms app, and if > an app EVER forced me to use the default one it would get uninstalled in > half a second. > > > Thanks, > Justin Anderson > MagouyaWare Developer > http://sites.google.com/site/magouyaware > > > On Sun, Mar 25, 2012 at 6:50 PM, Farhan Tariq <farhan....@gmail.com>wrote: > >> >> you can always check if the intent will succeed >> >> by checking to see if there's anyone registered to receive it. >> >> How to go about these? >> >> On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 5:32 AM, Kristopher Micinski < >> krismicin...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> If that's the case, then you've written the intent wrong. >>> >>> However.
