How to send an SMS with text and image

[thx1138]

I'm trying to add a photo and text to an SMS but can't add anything in the body of the SMS. What do I need to do?

I don't think it is possible in AIR. AIR uses the sms: URI to open the SMS app and unfortunately the Android OS ignores everything except the phone number.

Hi Joe,

Yeah, that's been the method I've been testing with. Is there a way for AIR to access the Intent API? 


Android code:

final Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.putExtra("sms_body", msgText);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
i.setType("*/*");
startActivity(i);

Thanks

Unfortunately, there are no AIR APIs that expose the underlying Android Intent API.
