Answer 1

this is a Solution :

private void openWhatsApp(String id) {

Cursor c = getSherlockActivity().getContentResolver()
            .query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
                  new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts.Data._ID },  
                  ContactsContract.Data.DATA1 + "=?",
                  new String[] { id }, 
                  null);

c.moveToFirst();
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
              Uri.parse(
                   "content://com.android.contacts/data/" +           
                    c.getString(0)));

startActivity(i);
c.close();
}

Where id is what's app uri like 966123456789@s.whatsapp.net
