iOS message composer view inside titanium application

Question

Currently I'm using the following code to display the message composer, but it opens the native iOS message app and my application goes to background.

Titanium.Platform.openURL('sms:'+e.rowData.value);

But I want to show the message composer inside my application.

Is there any way to display the message composing window of iOS in my titanium application ?

I searched a lot but didn't get any solution. And there is nothing in the appcelerator documentation regarding the message composer.

Thanks in advance

I tried with the Post share by Rahul. Ti.Platform.openURL('sms://' +123456789 + '&body=' + encodeURIComponent("Test Message")); Worked for me too. — Darshana Patil, Jun 06 '17 at 14:33
@DarshanaPatil: Are you sure that the solution provided will open the message window inside our own app ? Or just it open up the message app of iOS system ? — Midhun MP, Jun 06 '17 at 18:37

I have better solution without using module

Ti.Platform.openURL('sms://' +Your_phone_number + '&body=' + encodeURIComponent(MESSAGE_IN_STRING));

It worked for me.

Try this,

var SMS = require('ti.sms');
var sms = SMS.createSMSDialog({
    animated: true
});
sms.barColor = 'black';
sms.toRecipients = [
    '5678309' // who should receive the text? put their numbers here!
];
sms.messageBody = 'This is a text message.';
sms.addEventListener('complete', function(evt) {
    if (evt.success) {
        alert('SMS sent!');
    }
    else {
        switch (evt.result) {
            case SMS.CANCELLED:
                alert('User cancelled SMS!');
                break;
            case SMS.FAILED:
            default:
                alert(evt.error);
                break;
        }
    }
});
sms.open();

This won't work, because you are using any other module other than titanium for displaying the message window (That's why you are using require('ti.sms')) – Midhun MP Dec 26 '12 at 11:01
Is it possible to select a contact from your list rather than prepopulate a phone nr? – CyberJunkie Apr 14 '14 at 01:40

Currently(January 1st 2013) no built-in modules available in Titanium SDK to integrate native iOS SMS view to Titanium application. There are a lot of third party modules for doing this.

Also I developed a module for doing this, You can find it here MMP_SMS.
