SMSSend (Function)

In french: SMSEnvoie

Sends an SMS. The characteristics of this SMS have been specified in the SMS structure.

New in version 25

To send SMS messages with an attachment, use SMSRunApp.

Example

// Initialize the SMS structure for a standard number
SMS.Number = "0610203040"
SMS.Message = "I am sending SMSs with WINDEV Mobile!"

// Send the SMS
ResSend is boolean = SMSSend()

// Error occurred?
IF ResSend = False THEN
Error(ErrorInfo(errMessage))
END

// Initialize the SMS structure for a short number
SMS.Number = "3040"
SMS.Message = "I am sending SMSs with WINDEV Mobile!"
SMS.NumberType = smsNationalNumber

// Send the SMS
ResSend is boolean = SMSSend()

// Error occurred?
IF ResSend = False THEN
Error(ErrorInfo(errMessage))
END

Syntax

<Result> = SMSSend()

<Result>: Boolean

True if the SMS was sent,
False otherwise. To find out the error details, use ErrorInfo associated with the errMessage constant.
If SMSSend is run in the main application thread, an hourglass (infinite progress bar) will be displayed when the message is sent. To specify the message that will be displayed in the hourglass, use NextTitle just before the call to SMSSend.

Remarks

Managing errors

SMSSend generates an error in the following cases:

the recipient number is invalid,
the message to send is too long,
the SMS center is overloaded.
...

Differences between GO mode and run time

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

The differences between GO mode (simulator) and real use are presented in Differences between GO mode and real use.

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

Required permissions

The call to this function modifies the permissions required by the application.
Required permission: SEND_SMS

Folder of SMSs sent

The sms/sent folder that can be found on some Android devices is not automatically filled when an SMS is sent.

SMS sent by the user

If the SMS must be actually sent by the user from the native application of the device (Android or iPhone/iPad), use SMSRunApp.
