Android Question [solved]Open Whatsapp with a especific number

[nedium]

Hi

Could you share an example of a complete project because it gives me an error with

#QueriesSchemes : whatsapp (Unsupported attribute: queriesschemes)

and with

Dim app As Application
(Undeclared variable 'app' is used before any value has been assigned to it.)


I wanted to know if I should add any other configuration


in reference

is there any way to open whatsapp with especific number?

Is it possible to open Whatsapp with a especific number, I don't want to send or share anything. I just want to click on a button on my app and open Whatsapp ready to send a message or click on call I am achieving this in B4A with Dim i As Intent...

As what I have guessed. The code you posted above is for B4i.
In B4A, you can use Intent.

Sub SendToWhatsapp(TextToSend As String)
    Dim Intent1 As Intent
    Intent1.Initialize(Intent1.ACTION_SEND ,"")
    Intent1.SetType("text/plain")
    Intent1.SetComponent("com.whatsapp/.ContactPicker")
    Intent1.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT", TextToSend )
    StartActivity(Intent1)
End Sub

thanks guys now the question is this.

what will happen if one user is on ios and send the url to user that is on android?
is it possible to create a universal url that will work on both platform?

EDIT: so i will explain what i mean.
the link should be shared using whatsapp and clicking on it should open the app and read the string that is shared with the url (like a id).
