Call vs. SMS

[boten]

Dim c As PhoneCalls
Dim s As PhoneSms
StartActivity(c.Call("0123456789"))
s.Send("0123456789","hello there")

the phone call is shown later on the phone's call log, but there's no sign of the SMS sent in "messaging" application, why?

I think that the Sms messages are not tracked by Android like the phone calls. The log you see is private for the messaging application.

thx. Except for the event (SmsSentStatus) and the monthly charge from the cellphone company it seems that SMS sent this way vanish into thin air.

Hi Erel, are you sure this is the case? I use both "Messaging" and "Handcent SMS" apps. Anything that I sent via Handcent is appearing in Messaging and anything that I sent via Messaging is appearing in Handcent.

I am building an SMS app, if the app send an outgoing SMS and it is not logged in Messaging or any other messaging program, i think it will create users confusion.

Any workaround to "broadcast" the delivered sms within android phone?

Not that I'm familiar with. As far as I know their is no official API for that.

Is there a way in b4a to write sms text to "content://sms/out", so that hopefully other SMS apps can pick it up?

Not without creating a custom library.
