Send an MMS using B4A - question

Hi
How to you link the code
Sub SendPhotoMessage(PhoneNumber AsString, Message AsString, Dir AsString, Filename AsString)Dim iIntent AsIntent
iIntent.Initialize("android.intent.action.SEND_MSG", "")
iIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms")
iIntent.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.STREAM", CreateUri("file://" & File.Combine(Dir, Filename)))
iIntent.PutExtra("sms_body", Message)
iIntent.PutExtra("address", PhoneNumber)
iIntent.SetType("image/png")StartActivity(iIntent)End SubSub CreateUri(uri AsString) AsObjectDim r AsReflectorReturn r.RunStaticMethod("android.net.Uri", "parse", ArrayAsObject(uri), ArrayAsString("java.lang.String")) End Sub

To a Button on the application ?

Thanks a lot

Hi guys, I followed this, tried both examples, went with the first one and I get a end of program with no error. No intent dialog. I confirm the file 1.png is there as you can see, and it is. What am I doing wrong?

Hi
I have tried the following code to have a picture taken by camera and sent by MMS and its ok, sending picture, though the android own MMS UI shows up every time.




I am looking for a solution to just press a button and have the picture sent programatically by MMS and/or email, in the background, without user intervention.
Is there a solution for this (paid library or such) ?

Thanks

As far as I know it is not possible to send MMS programmatically (without the intent).

As for email, you can send emails without the user intervention with SMTP from the Net library. However you will not be able to use the user mail server.

I just tried using the method used in this thread to include body text along with the media file using:


But sometimes the text will appear in the message and other times it won't - even when using the same device!

So I found this thread:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11283085/sending-mms-does-include-the-sms-body

That suggests that adding the below might make the text appear all the time:


But it seems the Intent object of B4A doesn't support the ".EXTRA_TEXT"

Hey Erel,

Thanks!

But after adding that line, it unfortunately is still not inserting the text reliably. Sometimes yes, sometimes no - very strange issue.

One thing that I noticed is that if I am sending a message to someone where there is *already* a thread in the sms/mms messaging app to that person, then it seems to always insert the text for subsequent messages. But if I am creating a new message thread to a particular person, then it will sometimes work and other times wont insert the text.
