Android Question Whatsapp and Whatsapp Business on same Phone

[adriano.freitas]

I've seen apps that send text via whatsapp but if the user has the normal whatsapp and whatsapp business on the same phone, it allows you to choose which one or if you have one of them just send it directly no matter what. Is there any practical way for this or do I have to manually check the installed whatsapp packages, collect User choice and then send?

Do you found an answer to this?
I want to use the same approach to select Facebook app or Facebook Lite in the same phone, but I get only the Facebook app.

This is the default behavior if there are multiple applications that can handle the intent.

You can ignore the default app, if one was set, using Intent.WrapAsIntentChooser.

thanks

do you mean they provide the API or do we have something "here" with b4a ?

 

[DonManfred]

Whatsapp Business provides a Restapi which you can use using okhttputils2.
There is nothing ready for b4a yet (at least i did not saw any). Write one and publish it for everyone.
