      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      textView = findViewById(R.id.text);
      textView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

         } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
               Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "WhatsApp not Installed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
               .show();
            }
         }
