New Text Message Shortcut in Android

Here’s how to create a shortcut on your desktop to quickly get to the New Message screen of the Android messaging application. Normally you would have to enter the app and press “New Message”, or create a shortcut to directly message a certain contact.

  1. Download the Any Cut application from the market
  2. Press and hold the Home screen
  3. Shortcuts->Any Cut->Make your own
  4. Enter the following:

    Action: android.intent.action.SENDTO
    Data: sms:

    Leave the the Type field blank. Press OK.

  5. Enter a name for your new shortcut. Press OK.

You’re done. You should now have a shortcut on your desktop (or home screen or whatever it’s called) that allows for one-press access to the New Message screen.
