Reading and deleting the SMS messages on a Smartphone

To read and/or delete SMS messages on a Smartphone (SMSNbMessage, SMSFirst, SMSNext or SMSDelete), the executable of the WINDEV Mobile application as well as its framework (WINDEV Mobile libraries) must be digitally signed. A certificate is required to perform this operation. See Security and certificates in Windows CE for more details.
Remark: The use of SMSSend and SMSReset does not require any specific signature.
Versions 16 and later
To sign the executable, simply specify the certificate that will be used in the mobile executable creation wizard. See Creating an executable for more details.
New in version 16
To sign the executable, simply specify the certificate that will be used in the mobile executable creation wizard. See Creating an executable for more details.
To sign the executable, simply specify the certificate that will be used in the mobile executable creation wizard. See Creating an executable for more details.

Managing the different types of numbers

Two types of numbers can be used to send SMS messages:
  • Short numbers (also called "National" numbers). These numbers can be accessed from the country only.
  • Standard numbers (also called "International" numbers). These numbers can be accessed from anywhere.

Phone calls

WINDEV Mobile also allows you to easily manage the phone calls. See WINDEV and telephony for more details.
Differences between GO mode and runtime
In GO mode (simulation on the development computer), a WLanguage error is generated when calling an SMS function or when using one of the variables of the SMS structure.
The differences between GO mode (simulator) and runtime are presented in Differences between GO mode and runtime.
Specific features in Android
Android In Android:
  • Only SMS messages found in the phone memory can be handled by the SMS functions.
  • The SMS.Retry variable is ignored in Android.
  • The use of some SMS functions will modify the permissions required by the application (these permissions will be automatically added to the application). See the documentation about the SMS functions for more details.
  • The SMS functions can be used during a GO on the Android emulator. To simulate the sending of SMS messages to the emulator, see the documentation of the Android SDK : https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator#console
  • Versions 25 and later
    It is possible to send SMS messages with an attachment using SMSRunApp.
