Hi
Is there a way to intercept Whatapp messages such we can do with SMS?

 

[Erel]

No. These messages are sent directly to Whatsapp application.

 

[Shay]

No workaround way to at least get the message?

They use their custom protocol to push their messages, I dont think you can intercept them.
Most apps that read their messages try to read them from the Whatsapp SQLite db.
Its more of a hack than proper programming, they have no external API.

thanks

So, is it possible to OPEN whatapp application, from the b4a app?

 

[Erel]

Yes. You can start any app you like by sending an intent. You will need to first find the app package name. You can use PackageManager for that.

An example, please?

 

[Erel]

Call PackageManager.GetInstalledPackages. Find whatsapp package name and then call PackageManager.GetApplicationIntent.

Thanks Erel. Is it also possible to set the recipient of the whatapp message?
