Android SDK MMS

Question

Does anyone know how to programmatically send a MMS via the Android SDK? Any version of the SDK will do, just need to know where to get started. I know how to send / receive SMS, I now need to add a picture to the message before sending.

Answer 1

For Sending an MMS is Android is as simple just like we send an SMS.
Here is the Code Snippet.

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.putExtra("address","7404357000");
i.putExtra("sms_body","hello..");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,Uri);
i.setType("image/png");
startActivity(i);
Here Uri is:

Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://media/external/images/media/1");
or
Uri uri = Uri.parse("file://mnt/sdcard/test.jpg");
or
Uri uri = Uri.parse("file://"+Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/test.jpg");

Make sure that "test.jpg" is present or available in the SD Card.
You also need to give the permission in the Manifest file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_MMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />

Here is the final Output on Emulator.
This code also work fine on Device

Answer 2

This worked for me.

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); 
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "some text"); 
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(url));
sendIntent.setType("image/png"); 

The url being passed to the Uri.parse method should be of the form used to access the media store such as content://media/external/images/media/23.
