Android Question Post text to Viber, Telegram, Skype, WhatsApp.... any messenger

[peacemaker]

Is any messnger posting way (lib) available for B4A ? Not by intent, fully software posting including authorization and so on...
i see that it looks like spammer's question, but for communication bridge via other messanging systems.

Why don't you want to use an intent? This is the standard way to share text using third party apps.

Customer needs to collect info and pass into an operator messenger account, any.
I offered to use email, so problem is over jumped, but... does the topic question have no answer ? Do all messengers not allow software posting due to spam? I mean some "messenger client API".

The answer is that the general solution to share information using other apps is with intents.
