Send sms - body not transmitted in Lollipop

The following lines should open the sms dialog in order to send a sms. On Api 19, the body is transmitted to the dialog, but on Lollipop, it remains blank.

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", bodySms); 
context.startActivity(sendIntent);

Any idea ?

With the Help of CommonsWare, this did the trick :

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, bodySms); 
context.startActivity(sendIntent);

Not necessarily. What you are actually asking Android to do is to find an activity that handles ACTION_VIEW on a MIME type of vnd.android-dir/mms-sms. You are not asking to send an SMS.

Moreover, if you read the documentation for ACTION_VIEW, you will not find a mention of an sms_body extra.

If you want to send an SMS, use ACTION_SEND with EXTRA_TEXT or perhaps sms_body.
