Unable to send sms using SMSManager in Android

Shruti picture Shruti · Jan 25, 2012 · Viewed 20.7k times · Source

In my application I do not want to use the default message sender. For doing that I followed the following link In Android is it possible to send sms message to more than one recipient in code?

  • And that code worked too. But the messages I am sending from this code are not saved on the phones outbox and inbox.
  • I am using sms manager like this in my code

    SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault(); sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, message, null, null);

But it is not sending sms.please help me with how can i send sms in android - i have tried following too PendingIntent sentPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent( SENT), 0);

PendingIntent deliveredPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,
new Intent(DELIVERED), 0);
SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, message, sentPI, deliveredPI);

It's also not working.
SMSAPPActivity.java

EDIT :

btnSendSMS.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                String message = txtMessage.getText().toString();
                String[] PhnNoArray = new String[2];
                PhnNoArray[0] = "9999999999";
                PhnNoArray[1] = "8888888888";
                // StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(phoneNo, ",");
                smsManager = SmsManager.getDefault();
                for (int i = 0; i < PhnNoArray.length; i++) {
                    smsManager = SmsManager.getDefault();
                        // this is the function that does all the magic
//                      sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, msg, pi, null);
                    smsManager.sendTextMessage(PhnNoArray[i], null, message, null,
                            null);
                    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS sent : " + i,
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
}
        });

I used following code to send sms to multiple numbers and sent sms gets saved in messages

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:
                    ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
                    for (int i = 0; i < MobNumber.size() - 1; i++) {
                        values.put("address", MobNumber.get(i).toString());// txtPhoneNo.getText().toString());
                        values.put("body", MessageText.getText().toString());
                    }
                    getContentResolver().insert(
                            Uri.parse("content://sms/sent"), values);
                    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);
    }

to send message to multiple numbers i used above function as :

if (MobNumber != null) {

                for (int i = 0; i < MobNumber.size(); i++) {
                    String message = MessageText.getText().toString();
                    String tempMobileNumber = MobNumber.get(i).toString();
                    sendSMS(tempMobileNumber, message);
                }
