Send image with mms

[KimHJ 4]

I'm trying to send a mms and what I found was that I had to use ActionList, I selected Media Library and ShowShareSheetAction.

Then I added this:

procedure TSMSForm.ShowShareSheetAction1BeforeExecute(Sender: TObject);
begin
     ShowShareSheetAction1.TextMessage := MessageMemo.Text;
     ShowShareSheetAction1.Bitmap.Assign(MainForm.Image1.Bitmap)
end;

 

I assume it would ask me how I want to send the message by giving me choices on the device. I still have to find out how to include the phone number.

 

When I execute the ShowShareSheetAction1 I get this error.

java.lang.illegalargumentexception couldn't find meta-data for provider with authority 

 

The app have all the permissions.

Intenet, Access media lcation, Read media images and Send sms.

 

Thanks for any help.

For this issue, it's likely you need to enable Secure File Sharing in the Entitlement List of the Project Options.

 

As for targeting apps that can send MMS specifically, I don't see anything in the Delphi "built-in" code that supports this. I could extend the ShareItems feature in Kastri to cater for this, though.

Thanks.

That was a suggestion I found online.

I was excpecting a window would open and the user could select which app to send the message, just like when I select a picture in gallery and click share.

I will try to use Intent.ACTION_SEND and see if that would open a selection.

I found the problem.

To make it work you have to check "Secure File Sharing" under "Options/application/Entitlement List'

When executing.

ShowShareSheetAction1.Execute

 

An Android popup shows with all the programs you can share with.

 

One thing did happen on my phone, where I have googles Text messaging set as default, it only gave me the option to use Samsung Text messaging and if I did chose it it asked me to make it the default app for text.

Funny thing - I had already answered this:
