Android Question Intent to send a text (sms) to messenger's tel number

[peacemaker]

HI, All

Sharing code via "smsto" is known. But is there any solution to pre-setup the phone number contact ?
Googling cannot help, and very old postings...
For Viber, at least.

Or is it now impossible for sure ? to send to the selected phone number.

Have you had a look at the Phone Library?

Specifically, the PhoneSms.Send methods?

No, you did not understand correctly. Subject is about apps-messengers, Viber, Skype.... to open it with the pre-installed contact.
Many samples of code that worked in 2014, 2015, but not now, 2017.

Seems, no possibility to make it now, cannot find...
