Android Question WhatsApp directly

[AlpVir]

You can send whatsapp messages directly to a specific contact, without going through the app ?
Reading some posts seem to understand that this is not possible, but it is very old post and maybe now the situation has changed.
If we could send text messages with attached image would be the ideal situation !

It's still not possible since there's no official WhatsApp API.

 

[AlpVir]

I suspected as much, but the hope is always last to die.

Be careful. WhatsApp will probably bann you (=phone number) if you do that without permission.

 

[AlpVir]

@KMatle : Tank you for your warning.
However, if I use the traditional way (ie use the intent) should be no problem. Correct ?

 

[NJDude]

Using intents is fine since you are using the app.

 

[AlpVir]

Now the situation is more clear to me. Thank you !

Thank you !
The attached example works perfectly, with a minimum of interaction with WhatsAppp.
However, I have not been able to make the next step: send the same message to numerous phone numbers.
WhatsApp this function is called "broadcast".

WhatsApp this function is called "broadcast".

Find a api from Whatsapp and we will help you porting it to B4A

unfortunately the APIs that allowed all this have been eliminated.

On official websites have only documented some APIs, which allow you to send and own messages not to select who. Or select a person but do not set the message.

However APIs exist because browsers and Goggle + allow it to do so.
I've seen third-party APIs (paid) that let you do so.

Probably even the official ones will be paid, but I have not found any documentation.

Also WhatsApp discourages the use of unofficial APIs, use pays parental responsibility peg to use WhatsApp

are PHP APIs, to be used on web pages.

Already the code I used I use web pages. The documents that DonManfred meant were Java APIs for Android

See ufficial API: https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/android/28000012
These can also be switched to B4A without wrap, but use intent
