launch sms application with an intent

To start launch the sms activity all you need is this:

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);         
sendIntent.setData(Uri.parse("sms:"));

You can add extras to populate your own message and such like this

sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", x); 

then just startActivity with the intent.

startActivity(sendIntent);
