Ability to send and receive sms

Post by Basseman01 » Sun Jun 28, 2015 6:25 pm

Hi
I have a question about texting (sms) in live code
I found out that it's possible to do with th:mobileComposeTextMessage command but doesn't do the trick for me.
I wan't to be able to send directly a predefined message to a predefined number without having the user to interact with the application as they have to with the above command.
And are there also a way to "catch" incoming messages and from which number ?

I hope you understand what i mean

Cheers

Hi Basseman01,
I read your posting ages ago but the only answer I have is "No", which I was hoping someone would pop-up and say "Yes" (probably the answer you were hoping for).
But auto sending of SMS would be weird as for me it would cost me a nickel for each one, if I were not alerted to it I'd dump the app.

I'd also like to do this and i was hoping 'widgets' would enable it. I know that Apple do not allow the auto sending of sms messages but i have other Android apps that do do this "Wheres my droid" for example..

I dont even mind if it pops up a message on the mobile device informing the user that an SMS has been sent but i need my app to be able to send one if certain conditions are met with no user input... Any thoughts?

Cheers Gary
