trying to send SMS message brings up "Complete action using" dialog, but messaging app isn't in the list?

I'm trying to send open up the messaging app to start a sms message from a widget but when I start the activity I get the "Complete action using" dialog with a long list of applications but I don't see the messaging application that I think should be the default for trying to send sms messages.

Here is my code:

public void 开发者_如何学运维onUpdate(Context context,
     AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {

   Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
   PendingIntent smsIntent1 = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, sendIntent, 0);
   sendIntent.putExtra("address", "8017777777");
   sendIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
   views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.sms_btn1, smsIntent1);

   appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetIds, views); 
  super.onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds); 

}

and my manifest has this in it:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/>

Any ideas? Thanks!

Most likely, the Messenger app has an <intent-filter> that does not cover your MIME type.

I am not completely certain why you have that MIME type in there. I am also unclear whether that whole Intent will work at all. I know this works, assuming 8017777777 is a phone number:

Intent sms=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("tel:8017777777"));

sms.putExtra("sms_body", msg.getText().toString());

startActivity(sms);

Note that you do not need the SEND_SMS permission in this case. You only need that if you are using SmsManager to send the SMS directly.

Here is a project that demonstrates the above Intent syntax, plus using SmsManager directly, as options for how to send a text message to a contact in your contacts list.

I tried what CommonsWare said, but it didn't work, but it put me on the right track (which was using the Intent.ACTION_SENDTO. I found what I needed here: http://snipt.net/Martin/android-intent-usage/

This is what it ended up looking like:

Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:0800000123");   
   Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);   
   it.putExtra("sms_body", "The SMS text");   
   PendingIntent smsIntent1 = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, it, 0);
   views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.sms_btn1, smsIntent1);
