gadget like smartphone, tablet, and even television. Android is open source to
developers who has an interest in developing mobile apps. It also provide an
adaptive framework that allow the developer to develop an apps in a simpler way. So

Getting Started:
First you will have to download & install the Android Development IDE (Android
Studio or Eclipse). Android Studio is an open source development feel free to
develop your things. Here's the link for the Android
Studio https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html.

called activity_main.xml, this is the default name when create a new activity. Then
write these codes inside your layout file.
1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
2. <RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
3. xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
4. xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
5. android:layout_width="match_parent"
6. android:layout_height="match_parent"
7. tools:context="com.razormist.sendsmsapp.MainActivity">
8.  
9. <EditText
10. android:id="@+id/et_contact"
11. android:layout_height="wrap_content"
12. android:layout_width="match_parent"
13. android:inputType="number"
14. android:hint="Contact Number"/>
15.  
16. <EditText
17. android:id="@+id/et_message"
18. android:layout_height="250dp"
19. android:layout_width="match_parent"
20. android:hint="Message"
21. android:inputType="textMultiLine"
22. android:gravity="left"
23. android:layout_below="@+id/et_contact"/>
24.  
25. <Button
26. android:id="@+id/btn_send"
27. android:layout_height="wrap_content"
28. android:layout_width="wrap_content"
29. android:layout_below="@+id/et_message"
30. android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
31. android:text="send"/>
32.  
33. </RelativeLayout>

Android Manifest File


The Android Manifest file provides essential information about your app to the
Android system in which the system must required before running the code. It
describe the overall information about the application. It contains some libraries that
needed to access the several method within the app.
1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
2. <manifest
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
3. package="com.razormist.sendsmsapp">
4.  
5. <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"
/>
6. <application
7. android:allowBackup="true"
8. android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
9. android:label="@string/app_name"
10. android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
11. android:supportsRtl="true"
12. android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
13. <activity android:name=".MainActivity"
14. android:configChanges="orientation"
15. android:screenOrientation="portrait">
16. <intent-filter>
17. <action
android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
18.  
19. <category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
20. </intent-filter>
21. </activity>
22. </application>
23. </manifest>

The Main Function


This code contains the main function of the application. This code will sent some
sms data to the number that input, this will only work when there is an available
network . To start with first locate your MainActivity java file and open it, then write
these variable inside the MainActivity class.
1. Button btn_send;
2. EditText et_contact, et_message;

Then write these method to make the code work correctly.


1. private void PermissionToConnect(){
2. if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this,
Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS) !=
PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
3.
if(ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(MainActiv
ity.this, Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS)){
4.
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new
String[]{Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS}, 1);
5. }else{
6.
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new
String[]{Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS}, 1);
7. }
8. }
9.  
10. }
11.  
12. @Override
13. public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
14. if(requestCode == 1) {
15. if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] ==
PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
16. if
(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this,
Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS) ==
PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
17. Toast.makeText(this, "Access",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
18. }
19. } else {
20. Toast.makeText(this, "Denied",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
21. }
22. }
23. }

Finally, initialize the require methods inside the onCreate method to run the


application.
1. btn_send = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btn_send);
2. et_contact = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.et_contact);
3. et_message = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.et_message);
4.  
5. PermissionToConnect();
6.  
7. btn_send.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
8. @Override
9. public void onClick(View v) {
10. String number = et_contact.getText().toString();
11. String message =
et_message.getText().toString();
12.  
13. try{
14. SmsManager smsManager =
SmsManager.getDefault();
15. smsManager.sendTextMessage(number, null,
message, null, null);
16. Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Sent",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
17. }catch (Exception e){
18. Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Sending
Failed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
19. }
20.  
21. }
22. });

Try to run the app and see if it worked. There you have it we have created a Simple
Sending SMS using Android. I hope that this tutorial help you to what you are looking
