Describe the SmsManager class in android.

Answer

SmsManager class is responsible for sending SMS from one emulator to another or device.

You cannot directly instantiate this class; instead, you call the getDefault() static method to obtain an SmsManager object. You then send the SMS message using the sendTextMessage() method:

SmsManagersms = SmsManager.getDefault();

sms.sendTextMessage("5556", null, "Hello from careerRide", null, null);

sendTextMessage() method takes five argument.

• destinationAddress — Phone number of the recipient.
• scAddress — Service center address; you can use null also.
• text — Content of the SMS message that you want to send.
• sentIntent — Pending intent to invoke when the message is sent.
• deliveryIntent — Pending intent to invoke when the message has been delivered.
