Show compose SMS view in Android

Question

I want to send sms.

What is the intent for SMS sending...or any other code? I want to show compose sms view with my pre-define text passing over in message field.

Is there any help for that?

Answer 1

This allows to send text message through existing app. phoneNumber - is String. If you do not wish to specify phone number, use empty string "".

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts("smsto", phoneNumber, null));
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "text message");
startActivity(sendIntent);

Answer 2

Only thing which worked for me is:

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse("smsto:"+phone_number));
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", message);
startActivity(sendIntent);

Hope this code helps you out :)

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    private int mMessageSentParts;
    private int mMessageSentTotalParts;
    private int mMessageSentCount;
     String SENT = "SMS_SENT";
     String DELIVERED = "SMS_DELIVERED";
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Button button=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                String phoneNumber = "0000000000";
                String message = "Hello World!";
                sendSMS(phoneNumber,message);


            }
        });



    }


    public void sendSMS(String phoneNumber,String message) {
        SmsManager smsManager = SmsManager.getDefault();


         String SENT = "SMS_SENT";
            String DELIVERED = "SMS_DELIVERED";

            SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
            ArrayList<String> parts = sms.divideMessage(message);
            int messageCount = parts.size();

            Log.i("Message Count", "Message Count: " + messageCount);

            ArrayList<PendingIntent> deliveryIntents = new ArrayList<PendingIntent>();
            ArrayList<PendingIntent> sentIntents = new ArrayList<PendingIntent>();

            PendingIntent sentPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(SENT), 0);
            PendingIntent deliveredPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(DELIVERED), 0);

            for (int j = 0; j < messageCount; j++) {
                sentIntents.add(sentPI);
                deliveryIntents.add(deliveredPI);
            }

            // ---when the SMS has been sent---
            registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {
                @Override
                public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {

                        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() {

Answer 4

You can use this to send sms to any number.
Use this in XML

<Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="New Button"
        android:onClick="sendsms"
        android:id="@+id/button2"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

Use this in Activity Class

 public void sendsms(View view) {
        String phoneNumber = "+880xxxxxxxxxx";
        String message = "Welcome to sms";
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("sms:" + phoneNumber));
        intent.putExtra("sms_body", message);
        startActivity(intent);
    }

Need SEND_SMS permission.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />

Answer 5

In Android , we have the class SmsManager which manages SMS operations such as sending data, text, and pdu SMS messages. Get this object by calling the static method SmsManager.getDefault().

SmsManager Javadoc

Check the following link to get the sample code for sending SMS:

Answer 6

This worked for me.

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    Button btnSendSMS = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSendSMS);
    btnSendSMS.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            sendSMS("5556", "Hi You got a message!");
           /*here i can send message to emulator 5556. In Real device 
            *you can change number*/
        }
    });
}

//Sends an SMS message to another device

private void sendSMS(String phoneNumber, String message) {
    SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
    sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, message, null, null);
}

You can add this line in AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/>
