send a jpg image throug MMS using HTC

Question

I am trying to send a jpg image through MMS using an HTC device (2.3.5, HTC Desire HD-Sense), I am using the following snippet

File sendfilepath = new File("file://" + sendfile);
Uri urimms = Uri.fromFile(sendfilepath);

Intent sendIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.SEND_MSG");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, urimms);
sendIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
startActivity(sendIntent);

It opens the Messaging app but it does not attach the image. I do not know why? It shows a toast "Cannot load message"

Does logcat show any reason for why it is failing? – Squonk Jul 23 '12 at 22:42 — Squonk, Jul 23 '12 at 22:42

Something like this should work:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("mmsto:<number>");
intent.putExtra("address", <number>);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, urimms);
intent.setType("image/jpeg");
startActivity(intent);

Otherwise these links look to be a little outdated but you should be able to translate everything pretty well:

What you have written does not work with HTC sense. It works with other Android devices. – yasserbn Jul 23 '12 at 22:40
What version of Android are you using? The author of this post says it works on 2.2: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10490329/android-mms-intent-with-with-image-and-body-text – starscream_disco_party Jul 23 '12 at 22:44
IT is 2.3.5 , HTC Desire HD(Sense) – yasserbn Jul 23 '12 at 22:49
Okay, I would try the above link then. There shouldn't have been too big of changes between 2.2 and 2.3.5 in regards to this – starscream_disco_party Jul 23 '12 at 22:51
