Send a SMS via intent
Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:YOUR_SMS_NUMBER");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
intent.putExtra("sms_body", "The SMS text");
startActivity(intent);
I have developed this functionality from one Blog. There are 2 ways you can send SMS.
- Open native SMS composer
- write your message and send from your Android application
This is the code of 1st method.
Main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/relativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<Button
android:id="@+id/btnSendSMS"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="Send SMS"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:onClick="sendSMS">
</Button>
</RelativeLayout>
Activity
public class SendSMSActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
public void sendSMS(View v)
{
String number = "12346556"; // The number on which you want to send SMS
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.fromParts("sms", number, null)));
}
/* or
public void sendSMS(View v)
{
Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:12346556");
Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
it.putExtra("sms_body", "Here you can set the SMS text to be sent");
startActivity(it);
} */
}
NOTE:- In this method, you don’t require SEND_SMS permission inside the AndroidManifest.xml file.
For 2nd method refer to this BLOG. You will find a good explanation from here.
Hope this will help you...
