I am trying to create two separate buttons and separate intents to send a message through Hangouts and through Yahoo Messenger. Is there a way to open the chat window for a certain user if I know the user's id and email? I did this for Facebook Messenger using 

Uri fbUri = Uri.parse("fb://messaging/" + userid);
    Intent fbIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, fbUri);

Thank you!

  • Hangout is not possible to open directly. Check link for more information: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16579228/start-google-hangout-from-intent-in-new-hangouts-android-app – Karn Shah Apr 14 '15 at 12:37
  • Yes I found out somewhere that it will not be possible to do this for Hangouts. But I would really like to make Yahoo Messenger work. I found this: Uri yahooUri = Uri.parse("ymsgr:sendim?" + username); But it is not working, it is crashing the app with a message: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=ymsgr:sendim?someusername} – grayFox16 Apr 14 '15 at 13:28
