Dear LiveCoders,
I have been trying to get my app to trigger preparing a text message (SMS) on an android device. At first I tried with:
Code: Select all
put "This is a test text" into tMessage
put URLEncode(tMessage) into tMessage
launch url "sms:" & tMobile & "&body=" & tMessage
This starts the text messaging app on the android phone, selecting the name for the phone number in the tMobile variable, but it leaves the message empty. I have tried variations with the body parameter, to have a ';' instead of the '&' and other combinations. They didn't work. Then I came across the specific functions for this in the LiveCode Dictionary (mobileCanComposeTextMessage(), and mobileComposeTextMessage tMobile, tMessage). But these seem to fail too. With the following code I get the answer "Cannot send text messages" on my android phone when I press the button.
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
if mobileCanComposeTextMessage() then
answer "Text Messages can be sent"
else
answer "Cannot send text messages"
end if
end mouseUp
Are there some settings for the standalone or elsewhere that are needed to get this to work?
