When I normally compose an SMS through the default SMS app, there is camera icon which can be used to add attachments.
But when using native.showPopup(“sms”), that attachment icon is not present.
Is this a bug?
I filed a bug report anyway : Case 15103 [import]uid: 64174 topic_id: 27762 reply_id: 327762[/import]
Our SMS feature does not support attachments yet.
If it did, then it would technically be MMS. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 27762 reply_id: 112583[/import]
Oh all right! I can make do with the default SMS app for now.
[lua]system.openURL(“Sms://”)[/lua]
Thanks! [import]uid: 64174 topic_id: 27762 reply_id: 112623[/import]
Oh wait… I see. You don’t want to attach a file from your application to the SMS message. You just want that attachment button to appear… and it’s missing for some reason. Is that right?
If so, I can write that up as a to-do item. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 27762 reply_id: 112680[/import]
Yeah! Thats it.
I just need the attachment button to appear in the SMS popup! [import]uid: 64174 topic_id: 27762 reply_id: 112698[/import]
Any updates on this Joshua? [import]uid: 64174 topic_id: 27762 reply_id: 115495[/import]
It’s written up, but not on the schedule. Sorry.
This is one of those issues that would require a lot of investigation on our end to figure out how to resolve it. This is because there is no documentation for using the standard SMS app via Intents… only documentation for building SMS support directly into your app yourself, which is not what you want because you would have to manage SMS messaging yourself and require all of the needed SMS permissions. Google did not make this easy. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 27762 reply_id: 115684[/import]
Ok. I guess I should have been clearer.
This problem is in iOS.
I have not tried this in Android. [import]uid: 64174 topic_id: 27762 reply_id: 115700[/import]
Oh, thanks. I’ve found the bug report that you’ve submitted and noticed that you’ve listed this as an iOS issue. I highlighted the “iOS” part in our system to make it super clear on what platform this issue occurs in. Sorry about that. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 27762 reply_id: 115713[/import]
