Android Question Sms.send2 : SMS not always sent

[lemonisdead]

Hello,

I have a problem. I don't know if it is a bug. I updated the Phone library to the new v2.20. Since I updated, I have some SMS not sent immediately and even not sent. Like if the SMS were stored in the queue.

I have checked my code and tried with the simplest :

Sub Process_Globals
Dim Sms As PhoneSms
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
Dim x As Int
For x=1 To 5
Sms.Send2("THE PHONE NUMBER","TEST "&x,false,false)
Next
Activity.Finish
End Sub

Have you got this trouble before ? Any idea to fix it ?
Thanks a lot

Do you get different results if you use Sms.Send?

Try to add a short delay between the messages.

Both Send and Send2 call the native SmsManager API. The problem is most probably in a lower layer.

Hi Erel
I updated version 3.0. Could you write simple code for PhoneSms.Send2 - send sms without notifications. I tried but I didnt

Hello Erel,

Thanks for your reply. Here is my report:

• using the old Sms.Send sends the messages like an automatic gun (immediately and chained)
• using the new Sms.Send2 with true, true sends the messages exactly like Sms.Send
• but using Sms.Send2 with false, false needs to introduce a small delay (I made tests with 4 seconds between each message)

That's surely not a bug but a behaviour of my Acer V370 (Jelly Bean).

Thanks for your help (I turned around many hours)

Could you write simple code for PhoneSms.Send2 - send sms without notifications

Dim ps As PhoneSms
ps.Send2("123456", "message", false, false)

Hi, I am confused as to why ps.Send2(), per code listed below and per Erel's suggested code listed above, will not compile fas if the Send2 method is not available to me for some reason yet ps.Send() works fine; can some explain to me why this is the case and what I am missing?. BTW, my phone library is v2.10. Thanks, Gregg.

Dim ps AsPhoneSms
ps.Send2("123456", "message", false, false) 'does not compile
ps.Send("123456","message") 'works fine

Which version of B4A are you using? This method was added in one of the last few updates.

I am running B4A V2.71 ... I will update to the latest version later today and try to running ps.Send2() again. Thanks, Gregg

Erel,

After upgrading from B4A 2.71 to B4A V3.20 which also upgraded phone library from V2.1 to V2.2, ps.Send2() compiled just fine.

Thanks,
Gregg
