Open SMS but do not send

Post by autozoid » 01 Mar 2013 13:42

Hello.
I can use the "Send SMS" action to automatically send an SMS, but I'd like to have a shortcut that opens the built-in SMS app,
- with a new SMS addressed to a particular number
- input some standard text
- then wait for me to complete the text message and manually press send.

Samsung GSII, Android 4.0.4

Any suggestions?

Hi,
How about starting the Flow by opening the sms-messenger and use steering UI to fill with your variables ?

You can also use an action Start Activity with following settings (only tested on the stock messaging app):
Action: andoird.intent.action.VIEW
Data URI: sms:123456
Extras: putString("sms_body", "the sms text")
