[ Text not passing to Whatsapp application using Intent ]
I am trying to launch whatsapp app from my app and passing some text to a particular number. Whatsapp App is launching and but text is not able to pass.
String smsNumber = "98*******3";
Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:" + smsNumber);
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, textWithClickableLink);
i.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
mContext.startActivity(i);
Is there anything missing in my code? Please help me on this.
Thanks in advance!
Answer 1
Try this one:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:" + mobileno);
Intent whatsappIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
whatsappIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
String str = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.activity&hl=en";
whatsappIntent.putExtra("sms_body", str);
try {
activity.startActivity(whatsappIntent);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
// Whatsapp have not been installed
}

you can try this method, it should work. I have tested
private void shareWhatsApp() {
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "text to share");
//if you have any images to share sue this, uri is the uri of image
//shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
//shareIntent.setType("image/*"); for image sharing
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
startActivity(shareIntent);
}
This will launch WhatsApp application and you have to manually select the contacts and send. since they dont provide any SDK we cant send automatically.

I tried this code. It makes my app to open list of all app by which I can send messages. After selecting any app now I am able to send the message that I am attaching with intent.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "From Stockal App");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
mContext.startActivity(intent);
Thank you all for your response.
