hi all...

I have two questions here..

1) How to send sms from emulator???

2) How to set speed dial number in emulator?? (as we do in mobile phone)

anybody please reply..

Means You want to send sms between two emulator instance.

For this one sample application is there , I am attaching with this post.

Hi jagtap, thanks for your file , but I don't understand why the receiver.java gives 2 errors (for the Telephony and intents class).
Can you help me please?
Thanks

Hi polimi
This is because classes are changed in new sdk , you have to use updated changed classes.

Our goal is to just send sms between two emulator instances , this we can do in eclipse DDMS perspective also.
So even if you delete receiver class and <receiver> tag from manifist file , the application will work fine ;the built in android messaging appl will receive sms(The receiver activity will handled by built in appl ).

Thanks for sharing SMS sending code....

Hi Jagtap,

Firstly, thank you for posting a simple SMS working code. I was easily able to cross-check my code with it. Although everything seems almost the same, sending messages between emulators is not working currently..

In my project, i am trying to send SMS on click of a UI button. The second class (receiver) implements BroadcastReceiver to receive and reply to the sender. To test this, i am starting two emulator instances (5554 & 5556) of the same project from eclipse IDE manually.

Code snippet:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
sendBtn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnInvite);
sendBtn.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() { public void onClick (View v){ Log.i("Click", "SendingReply"); sendInvite(); }});
}

public void sendInvite()
{

String sendData = "Invitation";
SmsManager mng = SmsManager.getDefault();
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(), 0);
String addr = "5556";

if(addr == null)
{
Log.i("SmsIntent", "Unable to get Address from Sent Message");
}
try{
mng.sendTextMessage(addr, null, sendData, pi, pi);
}catch(Exception e){ Log.e("SmsIntent","SendException", e ); }
}

One observation:

When i launch a second instance of the emulator, the emulator displays the following errors on its UI:

Application Messaging(in process com.android.mms) is not responding
Application Alarm clock is not responding

When i force close them, it shows the UI with the single button (as in the main layout). Could this be a cause of the problem?
Is there any other better way of testing with two emulators? I also tested receiving message from a plain sms receiver which is an instance of some other project. Still no luck..

Kindly let me know..

Thanks in advance.
