Android Question Whatsapp Intent

[Chandrashekhar]

Please Help.

Following code doesn't work with whatsapp.

I can pickup contact from whatsapp but after that is says "sharing failed. please try again"




Code:

Sub button1_click
Dim u As Uri
u.Parse("file://" & File.Combine(File.DirDefaultExternal,"writeon.png"))
Dim i As Intent
i.Initialize(i.ACTION_SEND,"")
i.SetType("image/png")
i.SetComponent("com.whatsapp/.ContactPicker")
i.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.STREAM",u)
StartActivity(i)
End Sub

It works for plain tax like this

Sub button1_click
Dim i AsIntent
i.Initialize(i.ACTION_SEND,"")
i.SetType("text/plain")
i.SetComponent("com.whatsapp/.ContactPicker")
i.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT","HELLO")
StartActivity(i)
End Sub

Please help..... Thanks in advance

Can you post a link to Whatsapp API documentation?

Unfortunately whatsapp api documentation not available as per my knowledge.
but I found this if it helps

Try to convert the string to Uri with ContentResolver library.

Check the unfiltered logs. There might be more information there.

The code above works perfectly for sending images to whatsapp as well. It was my mistake for writing file name.

Thanks a LOT EREL.

hi
did anybody find a solution to send a text message directly to a specific whatsapp contact, without using the contact picker.??
Thanks for help

Anyone knows if is there a porting of whatsapi library (or phpwhatsapi) for b4a ?
thanks

if is there a porting of whatsapi library

A port can be written when an official SDK is released. Whatsapp does not provide any official SDK. so there are no ports possible for it.
