Learn how you can send & receive SMS through Android

This example shows how you can send/receive SMS through your application.

Algorithm:

1.) Create a new project by File-> New -> Android Project name it SMSSenderExample.

2.) Write following into main.xml:

[sourcecode language=”xml”]

<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="6dip">
<CheckBox
android:id="@+id/sms_enable_receiver"
android:text="@string/sms_enable_receiver"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TableLayout
android:padding="6dip"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:stretchColumns="1">
<TableRow android:layout_width="match_parent">
<TextView android:text="@string/sms_recipient_label" />
<EditText android:id="@+id/sms_recipient" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<TextView android:text="@string/sms_content_label" />
<EditText android:id="@+id/sms_content" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<Button
android:id="@+id/sms_send_message"
android:text="@string/sms_send_message"
android:layout_column="1" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/sms_status"
android:layout_column="1" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
[/sourcecode]

3.) Create and write following into src/SmsMessageReceiver.java:
[sourcecode language=”java”]
package com.example.smssenderexample;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.ContactsContract;
import android.telephony.SmsMessage;

public class SmsMessageReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String TAG = "SmsMessageReceiver";

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if (extras == null)
return;

Object[] pdus = (Object[]) extras.get("pdus");

for (int i = 0; i < pdus.length; i++) {
SmsMessage message = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdus[i]);
String fromAddress = message.getOriginatingAddress();
String fromDisplayName = fromAddress;

Uri uri;
String[] projection;

uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(
ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,
Uri.encode(fromAddress));
projection = new String[] { ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME };

// Query the filter URI
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
if (cursor != null) {
if (cursor.moveToFirst())
fromDisplayName = cursor.getString(0);

cursor.close();
}

Intent di = new Intent();
di.setClass(context, SmsReceivedDialog.class);
di.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
di.putExtra(SmsReceivedDialog.SMS_FROM_ADDRESS_EXTRA, fromAddress);
di.putExtra(SmsReceivedDialog.SMS_FROM_DISPLAY_NAME_EXTRA, fromDisplayName);
di.putExtra(SmsReceivedDialog.SMS_MESSAGE_EXTRA, message.getMessageBody().toString());
context.startActivity(di);
break;
}
}
}
[/sourcecode]

4.) Create and write following into src/SmsReceivedDialog.java:
[sourcecode language=”java”]
package com.example.smssenderexample;

import java.util.Locale;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech;
import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech.OnInitListener;
import android.util.Log;

public class SmsReceivedDialog extends Activity implements OnInitListener {
private static final String TAG = "SmsReceivedDialog";

private static final int DIALOG_SHOW_MESSAGE = 1;

public static final String SMS_FROM_ADDRESS_EXTRA = "com.example.android.apis.os.SMS_FROM_ADDRESS";
public static final String SMS_FROM_DISPLAY_NAME_EXTRA = "com.example.android.apis.os.SMS_FROM_DISPLAY_NAME";
public static final String SMS_MESSAGE_EXTRA = "com.example.android.apis.os.SMS_MESSAGE";

private TextToSpeech mTts;

private String mFromDisplayName;
private String mFromAddress;
private String mMessage;
private String mFullBodyString;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

mFromAddress = getIntent().getExtras().getString(SMS_FROM_ADDRESS_EXTRA);
mFromDisplayName = getIntent().getExtras().getString(SMS_FROM_DISPLAY_NAME_EXTRA);
mMessage = getIntent().getExtras().getString(SMS_MESSAGE_EXTRA);

mFullBodyString = String.format(
getResources().getString(R.string.sms_speak_string_format),
mFromDisplayName,
mMessage);

showDialog(DIALOG_SHOW_MESSAGE);
mTts = new TextToSpeech(this, this);
}

public void onInit(int status) {
if (status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {
int result = mTts.setLanguage(Locale.US);
if (result == TextToSpeech.LANG_MISSING_DATA
|| result == TextToSpeech.LANG_NOT_SUPPORTED) {
Log.e(TAG, "TTS language is not available.");
} else {
mTts.speak(mFullBodyString, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD, null);
}
} else {
// Initialization failed.
Log.e(TAG, "Could not initialize TTS.");
}
}

@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
switch (id) {
case DIALOG_SHOW_MESSAGE:
return new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_email)
.setTitle("Message Received")
.setMessage(mFullBodyString)
.setPositiveButton(R.string.reply, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
// Begin creating the reply with the SmsMessagingDemo activity
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClass(SmsReceivedDialog.this, SMSSenderExample.class);
i.putExtra(SMSSenderExample.SMS_RECIPIENT_EXTRA, mFromAddress);
startActivity(i);

dialog.dismiss();
finish();
}
})
.setNegativeButton(R.string.dismiss, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
dialog.dismiss();
finish();
}
})
.setOnCancelListener(new DialogInterface.OnCancelListener() {
public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) {
finish();
}
}).create();
}
return null;
}
}
[/sourcecode]

5.) Write following into res/values/strings.xml:
[sourcecode language=”xml”]
<resources>

<string name="app_name">SMSSenderExample</string>
<string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>
<string name="menu_settings">Settings</string>
<string name="title_activity_smssender_example">SMSSenderExample</string>
<string name="sms_enable_receiver">Enable SMS broadcast receiver</string>
<string name="sms_recipient_label">Recipient #</string>
<string name="sms_content_label">Message Body</string>
<string name="sms_send_message">Send</string>
<string name="sms_speak_string_format">Message from "%1$s": %2$s</string>
<string name="reply">Reply</string>
<string name="dismiss">Dismiss</string>

<string name="share">Share</string>

</resources>
[/sourcecode]

6.) Add following 2 permissions into your manifest file:
[sourcecode language=”java”]
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
[/sourcecode]

7.) Run for output.

final PackageManager pm = this.getPackageManager();
final ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName("com.example.android.apis",
"com.example.android.apis.os.SmsMessageReceiver");

enableCheckBox.setChecked(pm.getComponentEnabledSetting(componentName) ==
PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED);

enableCheckBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
Log.d(TAG, (isChecked ? "Enabling" : "Disabling") + " SMS receiver");

pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(componentName,
isChecked ? PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED

final TextView statusView = (TextView) SMSSenderExample.this.findViewById(R.id.sms_status);

// Watch for send button clicks and send text messages.
Button sendButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.sms_send_message);
sendButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(recipientTextEdit.getText())) {
Toast.makeText(SMSSenderExample.this, "Please enter a message recipient.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
}

if (TextUtils.isEmpty(contentTextEdit.getText())) {
Toast.makeText(SMSSenderExample.this, "Please enter a message body.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
}

recipientTextEdit.setEnabled(false);
contentTextEdit.setEnabled(false);

SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();

List<String> messages = sms.divideMessage(contentTextEdit.getText().toString());

String recipient = recipientTextEdit.getText().toString();
for (String message : messages) {
sms.sendTextMessage(recipient, null, message, PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
SMSSenderExample.this, 0, new Intent(ACTION_SMS_SENT), 0), null);
}
}
});

// Register broadcast receivers for SMS sent and delivered intents
registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String message = null;
boolean error = true;
switch (getResultCode()) {
case Activity.RESULT_OK:
message = "Message sent!";
error = false;
break;
case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_GENERIC_FAILURE:
message = "Error.";

message = "Error: Null PDU.";
break;
case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_RADIO_OFF:
message = "Error: Radio off.";
break;
