I have previously written about how to send SMSs with Android intents and while sending MMS via intents goes to the same application, the intent that needs to be constructed is quite different. The intent requires the following items to be set:
- the action set to be ACTION_SEND
- the mime type set to image/*
- a Uri extra inserted with the key Intent.EXTRA_STREAM
- optionally some text body with the key sms_body
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. The previous article of views and images returns a url String that can directly be used by this MMS intent.

This works for me, except that the image is automatically converted to a jpeg, and fairly badly compressed at that. What's going on? I want an uncompressed png.
Thanks.
Thanks for the blog entry. I'm trying to do the same thing as you have shown, but with an audio file (.amr). However, when I use MIME type "audio/amr" or "audio/*", the Gmail client comes up. When I use "*/*", I get the MMS Compose Message window, but it gives an error message: "Unsupported picture format. Please select a different picture.":
final Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.putExtra("sms_body", msgText);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, audioUri);
i.setType("*/*"); // audio/amr or audio/* goes to Gmail
startActivity(i);
Any ideas? How can I direct the system to create an MMS message with a .amr attachment?
Does this just pass the data to the Mms app' and open up the messaging activity, does the user then have to manually send the Mms message?
If so, do you know how it's possible to it programatically
It opens up the messaging app with image attached ready for the user to select the receipient and send.
You could send it programatically but you would probably need to look deep within the messaging application code.
Start here -

good luck!
