'Intent' in Corona Apps

Hey Corona Community,

I’m designing an app which send a text. I can create code which automatically generate the body of a text so too open up the native SMS messenger app seems like an unnecessary hurdle. I can use SMS intent in Android to stop this action from happening and to send a text. How would I implement this in Corona ? Do i simply put the intent in the build file setting? I’m aware that in iOS you cannot bypass the SMS app is this true?
