Remarks

Reading and deleting the SMS messages on a Smartphone

To read and/or delete SMS messages on a Smartphone (functions SMSNbMessage, SMSFirst, SMSNext or SMSDelete), the executable of the WINDEV Mobile application and its framework (WINDEV Mobile libraries) must be electronically signed.. A certificate is required to perform this operation.

Remark: If the executable is not signed, only the SMS of SIM card can be read.

Differences between GO mode and run time

In GO mode (simulation on the development computer), a WLanguage error is generated during the call to SMSNext.

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
