Sending message through WhatsApp

Question

Since I found some older posts, that tell that whatsapp doesn\'t support this, I was wondering if something had changed and if there is a way to open a whatsapp \'chat\' wit

Answer 1

get the contact number whom you want to send the message and create uri for whatsapp, here c is a Cursor returning the selected contact.

Uri.parse("content://com.android.contacts/data/" + c.getString(0)));
i.setType("text/plain");
i.setPackage("com.whatsapp");           // so that only Whatsapp reacts and not the chooser
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "I'm the body.");
startActivity(i);
