Search on community this is asked and solved several times.

Data uri is wrong!

Datauri - api.whatsapp.com/[countrycode][phone number]

i dont wanna send any message just open whatsapp

do you know what the correct data uri is?

Try this…enter number with country code without + sign

Just start Activity on button click. WhatsApp chat will open with entered number.

but i dont want to open chat with a number i just want the home screen of wa to open

Try by changing

  1. Activity action to VIEW in place of SEND
  2. Class to com.whatsapp.main
  3. Data uri empty
