Weekly Report 7

This week I worked on sending MMS feature of our product. Actually, sending MMS is easy to implement.

Uri mmsUri = Uri.parse("file://"+"/sdcard" + IMAGE_FOLDER + this.pictureName + EXTENTION);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra("sms_body", "Hi how are you");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, mmsUri);
intent.setType("image/png");
startActivity(intent);

We will add the picture we want to send as MMS and for that we need the content URI of the file. After that we will add a text to the MMS. However, Android emulator does not support sending MMS option. Normally, we were to type the port number of another emulator inside the “to” part of our emulator and the message would be sent immediately to the other emulator. I tested it and saw that it really doesn't work. However I was able to send SMS message to the other emulator when I deleted the image from the MMS message. This proved that the code I implemented is correct.
