Android Question SMS sending problem

ciginfo · Oct 8, 2020

Hi,
The code below to send SMS works very well on most smartphones but on some numbers such as Honor 10 from Huawei it crashes the application.
Should I use another code or modify this one?
Thank you

B4X:

Sub ImgSms_Click
    MessageURI= "Ceci est un exemple "
    Dim i As Intent
    i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW,"")
    i.SetType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms")
    i.PutExtra("address", ""))
    i.PutExtra("sms_body", MessageURI)
    StartActivity(i)
End Sub

StartActivity will throw an exception if there is no installed app that can handle the intent. You can catch this error with Try / Catch.

This is not a standard intent. You should use instead: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/send-sms-from-b4a-code.117898/#content

I went to the page https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/send-sms-from-b4a-code.117898/#content but I still don't see how to fix the problem?

Use this intent to send SMS:

B4X:

Dim In As Intent
    In.Initialize(In.ACTION_VIEW, "sms:" & number) 'better to URLEncode the number with StringUtils,
    In.PutExtra("sms_body", "this is the body")
    StartActivity(In)
