[SOLVED] Flutter open sms with pretext and without phonenumber

Flutter open sms with pretext and without phonenumber

I have a working function to launch sms using url_launcher

launchsms(BuildContext context, String phoneNumber) async {
    try {
      if (Platform.isAndroid) {
        String smsuri = 'sms:$phoneNumber?body=${Uri.encodeComponent("Hello there")}';
        String calluri = 'tel://$phoneNumber';
        await launchUrl(Uri.parse(calluri));
      } else if (Platform.isIOS) {
        String smsuri = 'sms:$phoneNumber&body=${Uri.encodeComponent("Hello there")}';
        await launchUrl(Uri.parse(smsuri));
      }
    } catch (e) {
      ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
        const SnackBar(
          content: Text('Some error occurred. Please try again!'),
        ),
      );
    }
}

I want to launch pretext sms without phone number, so that user has to select a contact or enter phone number. Is it possible?

Solution

For Android:

final String smsUri = 'sms:?body=${Uri.encodeComponent("Hello there")}';

For iOS:

final String smsUri = 'sms:?&body=${Uri.encodeComponent("Hello there")}';

//For iOS, please check this in real device. I have tried this in simulator and user can select phone numbers also, but the selected phone numbers are not showing on message screen only loading.
