Send SMS to multiple recipients via Intent

I am trying to send SMS to multiple recipients viaINTENT. I tried the following to do it:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.putExtra("sms_body", etmessage.getText().toString());
intent.setData(Uri.parse("smsto:" + returnedItems));
intent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
mcontext.startActivity(intent);

Where returnedItems is of Contact Numbers

But the problem is that my recipients numbers are not setting on TO section on SMS INTENT where TEXT is displayed on TEXT section.

I have solved this by the following way.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
String numbers = "1234567890;9876543210;453678920"
intent.putExtra("address", numbers);
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, context.getString(R.string.share_image)));

The numbers are separated by semi-colon (;). I read in some mobile phones the numbers need to separated by comma (,).

Hope this will help.

Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,Uri.parse("smsto:" + pointsList));
smsIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "Hi Friends & Families, My Location is feeling unsafe in this location");
startActivity(smsIntent);

pointsList is something like ArrayList, for example [8777675673,8566463454,7776666664]. It is working fine.

Did you tried below ?

Intent mIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,Uri.parse("smsto:999999;888888"));

I also found out ";" is not working in Samsung device. You have to add "," instead of ";" for samsungs devices.

Intent mIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,Uri.parse("smsto:999999,888888"));

Make sure that the numbers are seperated by ; .

Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,Uri.parse("smsto:1234456;234567"));
smsIntent.putExtra("sms_body", etmessage.getText().toString());
startActivity(smsIntent);

always works for me!
