Sending MMS programmatically on Android

Question

I am having an issue with a task I'm supposed to do, I'm supposed to send MMS using our own interface on android 2.1 so as you can guess calling the default Activity is out of the question. So my question, is there a way to programatically send MMS using the android SDK without calling their intent, I tried importing the MMS app in eclipse but most of the classes are com.google.android which means they are not open sourced, so I have no idea how to get them if possible, or, how to mimic them. I was even thinking of using reflection to load them from Dalvik, but I think that this is a final effort and may not bring results.

any ideas?

btw, I found

Sending MMS into different Android devices

but they do not work.. (with out the proprietary classes)

Answer 1

Although this question was left unanswered for a while, I kinda found a way back then, just forgot to post. however I got the original MMS app and crippled the binary classes and added corresponding requirements to finish since most of them were private to the build system. The ONLY way do make an mms sender in android (that I know of) is to build the app with the source tree. In that manner you will have access to the restricted MMS functions and it is generally very easy since there is a MMSManager in the source it's self, although this is not public in the sdk. I know my answer is a bit vague, but for those of you going down this path.. prepare for some bumps on the road.. :)
