Android -- intent chooser for whatsapp and sms only

Question

I want to create an IntentChooser who offer to share text only via SMS or WhatsApp.

Here is my code to share via WhatsApp:

Intent localIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
localIntent.setType("text/plain");
localIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
if (localIntent != null) {
    localIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hi there! I'm using this app");
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(localIntent, "Hi there! I'm using this app"); 
}

I need to add to this also sharing with SMS. How can I do it?

You better make your own chooser with an alert dialog. Not much work. — greenapps, Aug 16 '16 at 09:56

use this for Whatsapp.

            try {
                startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND).setType("text/plain").setPackage("com.whatsapp").putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Message));
            } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
                Toast.makeText(this, "Whatsapp have not been installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

and this for SMS .

         String number = "12346556";  // The number on which you want to send SMS  
         startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.fromParts("sms", number, null)));

Perhaps I did not explain myself well. I want the same `Intent` offer both of these options. – offset Aug 16 '16 at 05:27
Just declare intent globally and use for both instead of `new Intent()`. Have got it ?? – sushildlh Aug 16 '16 at 05:29
