Android Question WhatsApp Intent

[MarcoRome]

Hi all.

If you send message with intent / WhatsApp write this code:

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

and all work. But if i want send to specific contact i found this code:

Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:" + smsNumber);
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
i.putExtra("sms_body", smsText);
i.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
startActivity(i);

this is website: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19081654/send-text-to-specific-contact-whatsapp

i Try in this mode but dont work, this is code:

    Dim i As Intent
    Dim smsNumber As String = "+393889XXXXXX"
    Dim numero As Uri
numero.Parse("smsto:" & smsNumber)
i.Initialize(i.ACTION_SEND, numero)
i.SetType("text/plain")
i.SetComponent("com.whatsapp")
i.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT","HELLO")
StartActivity(i)

i try also this:

.....
numero.Parse("smsto:" & smsNumber)
i.Initialize(i.ACTION_SEND, numero)
i.SetType("text/plain")
Dim jo As JavaObject = i
jo.RunMethod("setPackage", Array As Object("com.whatsapp"))
i.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT","HELLO")
StartActivity(i)

Any idea ??
Thank you in advance

See the last sentence in the answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19081654/send-text-to-specific-contact-whatsapp

Seems like it is not working.

Look at this one:

You can use JavaObject to call setPackage:

Dim jo As JavaObject = intent1
jo.RunMethod("setPackage", Array("com.whatsapp"))

Could you send the message to a specific contact?

I can send a message but you have to choose the contact

Intent1.Initialize(Intent1.ACTION_VIEW ,"")
   
    Intent1.SetType("text/plain")
   
    Intent1.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT", "Message to send" )

    Intent1.SetComponent("com.whatsapp/.ContactPicker") 
    StartActivity(Intent1)

When I use the Erel tip doesn´t work, the ais a message bellow

android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.SEND dat=(StringUri) smsto:+5513997568917 typ=text/plain flg=0x20001 pkg=com.whatsapp (has clip) (has extras) }

Hi Carlos
I could not send a message to a specific contact, the user has to choose one.

WhatsApp: Send Message to specific phone number

WhatsApp a few years ago had published APIs that allowed to send messages to a specific number. For some time, those methods no longer work and new methods appear on the official website. (see: https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/android/28000012) You can now open a conversation with a phone number but...

How to send automatically like this

That video is using Whatsapp. Just say to your device 'okay google send a whatsapp message', google will respond with 'who do you want to message', you say a name, google will ask you 'whats the message', you say the message. If your device must be already be unlocked for this to work.

If you use Android Auto, then all this can be done without unlocking your phone as it's already unlocked, google will also read any response messages out to you...

Thank you, Mr. Peter Simpson, can we make such an application that sends messages automatically via WhatsApp, without having to press the send button ?

 

[DonManfred]

without having to press the send button ?

No. Whatsapp does not Provide an Api for this.

MAYBE possible with the Whatsapp for Business (don´t know)

You don't need the press sent after saying the message. A few seconds after you stop speaking, Google asks you the following question. "Do you wish to sent it or change it", just say sent it and it will send the message via what's app. I use that fuction all the some when I'm coding on my laptop and especially when I'm driving my car as I don't need to touch any screens, I just say okay Google send a WhatsApp message and it just does it. Give it a go, especially if you have the okay Google or hey Google keywords already active on your phone
