Send Audio data with SMS in android

Question

Hello,

I am trying to send an audio file converted to a byte array with SMS using SMSManager.sendDataMessage.

But, I am unable to send it to other phone. Can any suggest how can I do it?

Answer 1

SMS is for text based messages 160 character limit, but you could use MMS to send the Audio file itself as an attachment that is downloadable.

Try something like this

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); 
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "some text");     
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(url)); // url would point to mp3 file
sendIntent.setType("audio/mp3");
