Send message to specific number whatsapp android?

Question

How can I send message to specific number in whatsapp.

I searched and found this code

 Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:" + number);
    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
    i.putExtra("sms_body", "as sdj ajs");
    i.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
    startActivity(i);

It only opens that number's chat window but no message is displayed in the edit text.

Also tried this

 Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
            new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts.Data._ID }, ContactsContract.Data.DATA1 + "=?",
            new String[] { "number@s.whatsapp.net" }, null);
    c.moveToFirst();
    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("content://com.android.contacts/data/" + c.getString(0)));

    startActivity(i);
    c.close();

But it force closes the app

I know this is an old post, but I'm just curious. Did you try changing this line `i.putExtra("sms_body", "as sdj ajs");` to `i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "as sdj ajs");`? — Mark, Sep 15 '16 at 03:16

do this way

public void onClickWhatsApp(View view) {

    PackageManager pm=getPackageManager();
    try {

        Intent waIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        waIntent.setType("text/plain");
        String text = "YOUR TEXT HERE";

        PackageInfo info=pm.getPackageInfo("com.whatsapp", PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
        //Check if package exists or not. If not then code 
        //in catch block will be called
        waIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");

            waIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(waIntent, "Share with"));

   } catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "WhatsApp not Installed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                .show();
   }  

}
