[LAMW] is it possible sending key to another android app

[Mongkey]

Any idea?

You may need to be a bit more verbose in what you are requesting, and what you are already experiencing when you try to accomplish it.

I just want to send / inject whatsapp activity with enter key, after opening whatsapp intent, so the message automatically sent without touching send button.

I want to integrate whatsapp, as appointment reminder by sending whatsapp message automatically without doing 1 by 1 . Thank you for your reply ABSzone.

This screenshots are what i did so far with awesome LAMW.

Hi, Mongkey...

Look for some pure java/android example and you will learn what intent parameters you need....

[Mongkey]

all i did just learning from LAMW samples, pure java just like an alien for me  , opening WA intent -> put some text -> start intent -> pressing OK, i just need set auto pressing for OK/ENTER button, (hi hi hi, this just like what appium do)

Thanks for your reply JMPessoa,
 
I found many intent parameters here:
https://github.com/aosp-mirror/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/core/res/AndroidManifest.xml#L2515

I think i need more coffee to accomplish this, for pull stuck type programmer like me, thank you.

Hi, Mongkey, i think that you need an special android 8.0> function that interact with touch screen, this require special permission and is not recomended for securoty reason, try to find the correct Intent params to do that like @jmpessoa say, this is an java example from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19081654/send-text-to-specific-contact-programmatically-whatsapp

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
2.     Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
3.  
4.     try {
5.         String url = "https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone="+ phone +"&text=" + URLEncoder.encode(message, "UTF-8");
6.         i.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
7.         i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
8.         if (i.resolveActivity(packageManager) != null) {
9.             context.startActivity(i);
10.         }
11.     } catch (Exception e){
12.         e.printStackTrace();
13.     }
14.  

and you can adapt to the pascal lamw way like this (not tested):

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. procedure TAndroidModule1.jButton1Click(Sender: TObject);
2. var
3.   phone,message:string;
4. begin
5.   phone:='12345678';
6.   message:='I am the body.';
7.   jIntentManager1.SetAction(iaSENDTO);
8.   jIntentManager1.SetDataUri(self.ParseUri('https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone='+ phone +'&text=' + self.UriEncode(message)));
9.   jIntentManager1.SetDataAndType(self.ParseUri('https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone='+ phone +'&text=' + self.UriEncode(message)),'text/plain');
10.   jIntentManager1.SetPackage('com.whatsapp');
11.   jIntentManager1.StartActivity()
12. end;
13.

thanks, segator,

IaSENDTO not working on my android 10 handset, only IaVIEW does the job, am i missing something?

IaSEND working code:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. var
2.   phone,message:string;
3. begin
4.   phone:='62123456';
5.   message:='I am the body.';
6.   if jIntentManager1.IsPackageInstalled('com.whatsapp') then
7.   begin
8.       jIntentManager1.SetPackage('com.whatsapp');
9.       jIntentManager1.SetAction(IaSEND);
10.       jIntentManager1.SetMimeType('text/plain');
11.       jIntentManager1.SetFlag(ifActivityNewTask);
12.       jIntentManager1.PutExtraText(message);
13.       //jIntentManager1.SetDataUri(self.ParseUri('https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone='+ phone +'&text=' + self.UriEncode(message)));
14.       //jIntentManager1.PutExtraString('Jid', phone +'@s.whatsapp.net');
15.  
16.       jIntentManager1.StartActivity()
17.   end
