SMS body is not changing its text in intent

Question

I am working on app, i am using intent to launch sms activity. I set the sms_body of the intent, after a while i changed the text of sms_body and recepients too but now when i launch the sms activity it show old text and old recepients.

I even clean the project. I debug as well, the values are setting correctly, but on activity launch it shows old text and recepients.

EDIT:

when i do the following code:

                    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); 
                    String primaryandsecondaryNumbers=PrimaryNumber+";"+SecondaryNumber;

                    String messageBody="MY MESSAGE";
                   intent.putExtra("address", primaryandsecondaryNumbers);
                  intent.putExtra("sms_body", messageBody);
                  intent.setData(Uri.parse("smsto:" + primaryandsecondaryNumbers));
                  intent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
                  startActivity(intent);

My messageBody is not updated but recepient numbers are set.

and when i comment:

         intent.putExtra("address", primaryandsecondaryNumbers);

my message is updated, but my numbers are not visible

This happens because of the draft saved for the recepient. If you change recepient and draft is not exist for him then it set new message. If you delete a draft that will work.

I had this issue with the HTC Sensation. The only way to construct the intent and get everything updated correctly is by using this:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.putExtra("address", "123456");
intent.putExtra("sms_body", "Message Body");
intent.setData(Uri.parse("smsto:123456")); //yes, you need the number twice
activity.startActivity(intent);
