I am trying to send multiple images with com.android.mms via intents, but it crashes.
The mms works correctly when I send a single image using ACTION_SEND.
Does any one have some insights as to why this is the case? ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE should be a valid action for mms because the mms app is displayed in the chooser dialog (Messages icons in the image below).
I use the following codes to open a chooser dialog.
public static void openDialog(Context context,
String title,
String snippet,
Set<String> fileUrls) {
if (fileUrls != null && !fileUrls.isEmpty()) {
String shareText =
prepareShareText(context, snippet);
ArrayList<Uri> files = new ArrayList<Uri>();
for (String path : fileUrls) {
File file = new File(path);
Uri uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context,
context.getString(R.string.file_provider_authority),
file);
files.add(uri);
}
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, title);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareText);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, files);
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share media"));
}
}
When I select "Messages" (com.android.mms), the mms app tries to open but crashes with the following errors

Edit:
Do note that the error log is from the com.android.mms app itself (not from my app). I selected "no filters" on the logcat to see them.
the permission denial error also appears when I send a single image, but it does not cause a "FATAL EXCEPTION: addAttachment" crash.
