Use of Intent to Mail, SMS, MMS and Call

In Sketchware, the uses of Intent activity are limited as it contains only three setAction options: ACTION_VIEW, ACTION_DIAL, and ACTION_CALL.

Here I mention the logic/codes for a few uses of Intent.

1. Open a Url in mobile browser.
  • Intent (name) setAction ACTION_VIEW
  • Intent (name) setData http://xyz.com
  • StartActivity (name)
2. Open mobile contacts.
  • Intent (name) setAction ACTION_VIEW
  • Intent (name) setData content://contacts/people/
  • StartActivity (name)
3. Open mobile dialer.
  • Intent (name) setAction ACTION_DIAL
  • Intent (name) setData tel:894......
  • StartActivity (name)
Also,
  • Intent (name) setAction ACTION_VIEW
  • Intent (name) setData tel:894......
  • StartActivity (name)
4. Call a number.
  • Intent (name) setAction ACTION_CALL
  • Intent (name) setData tel:894......
  • StartActivity (name)
5. Send Email.
  • Intent (name) setAction ACTION_VIEW
  • Intent (name) setData mailto:myname@gmail.com
  • Intent (name) putExtra key subject value write your subject
  • Intent (name) putExtra key body value write your message which is to be mailed
  • StartActivity (name)
6. Send SMS.
  • Intent (name) setAction ACTION_VIEW
  • Intent (name) setData smsto:894......
  • Intent (name) putExtra key sms_body value write your message which is to be sent as sms
  • StartActivity (name)
7. Send MMS.
  • Intent (name) setAction ACTION_VIEW
  • Intent (name) setData mmsto:894......
  • Intent (name) putExtra key subject value write subject of your mms message
  • Intent (name) putExtra key EXTRA_STREAM value /sdcard/Coolpad/Screenshots/Screenshot_2017-07-20-19-03-53.png

There are several other uses of Intent action.
