Hi. What is the recommended way to launch the messaging app (for
sending an MMS message) via an intent?
The following code works on my HTC Magic ...
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra("address", "0215555555");
intent.putExtra("sms_body", "my message text");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri); // imageUri set
previously
intent.setType("image/jpeg");
startActivity(intent);
... but it first launches the Resolver activity,
(com.android.internal.app.ResolverActivity),
prompting the user to select the appropriate app (Email, Gmail,
Messaging, Picasa). The user has to
select Messaging before proceeding.
The only way I've found to bypass the resolver is to explicity set the
desired component
on the intent before starting the activity as follows:
intent.setClassName("com.android.mms",
"com.android.mms.ui.ComposeMessageActivity");
However, I'm guessing this approach will not work on devices that have
a customised UI, like
the HTC Hero. Can someone confirm/deny?
I'm also struggling to find official documentation for the "address"
and "sms_body" fields
that can be supplied as extra data as per the above example.
Is it expected that these will be supported by the default messaging
app in future SDK versions
and in customised UIs (like HTC's Sense UI)?
Thanks in advance ...
