How can I send vcard/contacts/?vcf var SMS or MMS in Android?

Question

I want to modify the Android source code that can send (contacts/vcard/.vcf file) by MMS or SMS, the Android default way is through Bluetooth. I find a lot of ways, but it all doesn't work. I know the vcf format is like this:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
N:;lybeen;;;
FN:lybeen
TEL;CELL;
PREF:1-123-234-1234
TEL;CELL:000-111-1111
END:VCARD

I send this string by SMS as a plain message. Some Android phone can recognize this as a contact, however, most of the Android phone can not recognize, but I don't know how to send the contacts by MMS.

To send Vcard through mms, you just need to attach the .vcf file with the system's intent.

            Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            sendIntent.setType("text/x-vcard");
            sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
                    Uri.fromFile(outputFile));
            startActivity(sendIntent);
