SMS does not send in Marshmallow

Question

I am trying to open System default Messaging activity when clicking on a button. Here is my code:

smsUri = Uri.parse("tel:" + teacherPhone2);
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, smsUri);
        intent.putExtra("address", teacherPhone);
        intent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
        startActivity(intent);

It works fine below MarshMallow. But in MarshMallow the app crashes when clicking that button. I have set the user-permission and also requested send sms permission. Can anyone tell me why this happens?

Your app doesn't need a permission to send SMS like that. Look in your logcat for the stack trace from the crash: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23353173. I would guess that you're getting an `ActivityNotFoundException`. — Mike M., May 04 '17 at 23:43

Check runtime permission before sending sms:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
            int checkCallPhonePermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(RegistrationActivity.this,Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS);
            if(checkCallPhonePermission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
                ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(RegistrationActivity.this,new String[]{Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS},SEND_SMS);
                return;
            }else{
                sendSms(mobile);
            }
        } else {
            sendSms(mobile);
        }

String[] PERMISSIONS = {Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.READ_SMS, Manifest.permission.CAMERA};

   if(!hasPermissions(this, PERMISSIONS)){
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, PERMISSIONS, PERMISSION_ALL);
    }



public static boolean hasPermissions(Context context, String... permissions) {
    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M && context != null && permissions != null) {
        for (String permission : permissions) {
            if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, permission) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
}

try this code

1. Add SEND_SMS permission in manifest

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

2. Request permission if not granted, send sms otherwise

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
    int checkCallPhonePermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(RegistrationActivity.this,Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS);
    if(checkCallPhonePermission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(RegistrationActivity.this,new String[]{Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS},SEND_SMS);
        return;
    } else{
            sendSms(mobile);
    }
} else {
    sendSms(mobile);
}

3. Override onActivityResult in order to send sms after permission is granted

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

    int checkCallPhonePermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(RegistrationActivity.this,Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS);
    if(checkCallPhonePermission == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
        sendSms(mobile);
    }
}

The reason may be in MarshMallow we can turn off and on permissions for particular app. So check for permissions turned on or off before sending SMS.
