How I can send massage from my app to Special number in whatsapp , I know this code to share massage to group or contact on whatsapp

Intent waIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
waIntent.setType("text/plain");
String text = "Sorry For Interruption,I'm Just Trying Something";
waIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");

if (waIntent != null) {
    waIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);//
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(waIntent,"Share with"));

Solution

  • this is a Solution :

    private void openWhatsApp(String id) {
    
    Cursor c = getSherlockActivity().getContentResolver()
                .query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
                      new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts.Data._ID },  
                      ContactsContract.Data.DATA1 + "=?",
                      new String[] { id }, 
                      null);
    
    c.moveToFirst();
    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
                  Uri.parse(
                       "content://com.android.contacts/data/" +           
                        c.getString(0)));
    
    startActivity(i);
    c.close();
    }
    

    Where id is what's app uri like 966123456789@s.whatsapp.net
