You can just in your xml file add

android:onClick = "onClick" 

and in activity:

//main buttons listener
public void onClick(View view)
{
    switch (view.getId())
    {
            case R.id.sms:
            Intent intentsms = new Intent( Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse( "sms:" + "" ) );
            intentsms.putExtra( "sms_body", "Test text..." );
            startActivity( intentsms );
            break;
    }
}

Try this:

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("text/plain");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL  , new String[] { "[email protected]" });
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject of email");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT   , "body of email");
try {
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Send mail..."));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
    Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

I guess this should work:

i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
i.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
