Android Question Using intent to send text to whatsapp, viber, skype, facebook, SMS default app?

The apps must have those intents available, as far as I know, the ones you listed don't have them.

I found this code on the internet but it's not for b4A. Can anyone translate it into B4A?

This code opens welcome screen for specified contact

String sphone ="12345678";Uri uri =Uri.parse("tel:"+Uri.encode(sphone));Intent intent =newIntent("android.intent.action.VIEW");
intent.setClassName("com.viber.voip","com.viber.voip.WelcomeActivity");
intent.setData(uri);
context.startActivity(intent);
but user should click button "free call" to start call.

Try this:
I don't have Viber, so, the code is untested.

Try this:

B4X:

Dim i As Intent

i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW, "tel:1231231234")
i.SetComponent("com.viber.voip/.WelcomeActivity")

StartActivity(i)

I don't have Viber, so, the code is untested.

Unfortunately, it crashes the program.
