Till now I believe that you are familiar with android view like TextView,EditText,Buttons etc. Now we will develop some application that will do sometthing useful.
In this tutotial we learn how to send SMS from one device to another.
In android we use SMS Manager class to send a SMS and to perform all activities related to SMS.
In android we need permission to send SMS , we use "android.permission.SEND_SMS" permission to send SMS so do not forget to include this permission in manifest file
Note: all the permisssion are declared in manifest file.
Now create a new Project and start.
Editing .xml file
Edit your .xml file , add two Edittext and one Button
First Edittext to enter the PhoneNumber to whom we have to send the SMS
Second EditText to enter the SMS Body.
And A Button to Send SMS.

DO Not forget to add the permission in manifest file, Manifest file should look like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="net.learn2develop.SMSMessaging"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0.0">
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".SMS"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS">
</uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS">
</uses-permission>
</manifest>
Activity File:
public class SMS extends Activity { Button btnSendSMS; EditText txtPhoneNo; EditText txtMessage; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); btnSendSMS = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSendSMS); txtPhoneNo = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtPhoneNo); txtMessage = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtMessage); btnSendSMS.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { String phoneNo = txtPhoneNo.getText().toString(); String message = txtMessage.getText().toString(); if (phoneNo.length()>0 && message.length()>0) sendSMS(phoneNo, message); else Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Please enter both phone number and message.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } }); }
To send an SMS message, you use theSmsManager
class. Unlike other classes, you do not directly instantiate this class; instead you will call thegetDefault()
static method to obtain anSmsManager
object. ThesendTextMessage()
method sends the SMS message with aPendingIntent
. ThePendingIntent
object is used to identify a target to invoke at a later time. For example, after sending the message, you can use aPendingIntent
object to display another activity. In this case, thePendingIntent
object (pi) is simply pointing to the same activity (SMS.java
), so when the SMS is sent, nothing will happen.
If you need to monitor the status of the SMS message sending process, you can actually use twoPendingIntent
objects together with twoBroadcastReceiver
objects, like this:
private void sendSMS(String phoneNumber, String message) { String SENT = "SMS_SENT"; String DELIVERED = "SMS_DELIVERED"; PendingIntent sentPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(SENT), 0); PendingIntent deliveredPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(DELIVERED), 0); //---when the SMS has been sent--- registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver(){ @Override public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) { switch (getResultCode()) { case Activity.RESULT_OK: Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS sent", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); break; case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_GENERIC_FAILURE: Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Generic failure", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); break; case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_NO_SERVICE: Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "No service", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); break; case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_NULL_PDU: Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Null PDU", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); break; case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_RADIO_OFF: Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Radio off", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); break; } } }, new IntentFilter(SENT)); //---when the SMS has been delivered--- registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver(){ @Override public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) { switch (getResultCode()) { case Activity.RESULT_OK: Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS delivered", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); break; case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED: Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS not delivered", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); break; } } }, new IntentFilter(DELIVERED)); SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault(); sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, message, sentPI, deliveredPI); }
The above code uses aPendingIntent
object (sentPI) to monitor the sending process. When an SMS message is sent, the firstBroadcastReceiver
'sonReceive
event will fire. This is where you check the status of the sending process. The secondPendingIntent
object (deliveredPI) monitors the delivery process. The secondBroadcastReceiver
'sonReceive
event will fire when an SMS is successfully delivered.
Hope You Enjoyed it . Comments and Questions are welcome.
