Show compose SMS view in Android

I want to send a sms with Android.

What is the intent for SMS sending?

I want to show the compose sms view with my pre-define text passing over in message field.

Solution

  • You can use the following code:

    startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("sms:"
                        + phoneNumber)));

    Make sure you set phoneNumber to the phone number that you want to send the message to

    You can add a message to the SMS with (from comments):

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("sms:" + phoneNumber));     
intent.putExtra("sms_body", message); 
startActivity(intent);
