Question

I have an app with widget. Three buttons on widget should sent predefined SMS messages to predefined numbers … this is my code:

package cro.perger.bonbon;

import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.appwidget.AppWidgetManager;
import android.appwidget.AppWidgetProvider;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.widget.RemoteViews;



        public class HelloWidget extends AppWidgetProvider {

                @Override
                public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
                        int[] appWidgetIds) {

                            String encodedHash = Uri.encode("#");

                            for (int appWidgetId : appWidgetIds) {

                                Intent callIntent1  = new Intent("android.intent.action.CALL",
                                         Uri.parse("tel:*100" + encodedHash));
                                Intent callIntent2  = new Intent("android.intent.action.CALL",
                                         Uri.parse("tel:*200*1" + encodedHash));

                                Intent sendIntent1 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                                sendIntent1.putExtra("sms_body", "Poruka 1");
                                sendIntent1.putExtra("address", "5556");
                                sendIntent1.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");

                                Intent sendIntent2 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                                sendIntent2.putExtra("sms_body", "Poruka 2");
                                sendIntent2.putExtra("address", "5556");
                                sendIntent2.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");

                                Intent sendIntent3 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                                sendIntent3.putExtra("sms_body", "Poruka 3");
                                sendIntent3.putExtra("address", "5556");
                                sendIntent3.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");

                                Intent openintent = new Intent(context, bonbon.class);

                                PendingIntent pendingIntent1 = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, callIntent1, 0);
                                PendingIntent pendingIntent2 = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, callIntent2, 0);
                                PendingIntent pendingIntent3 = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, sendIntent1, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
                                PendingIntent pendingIntent4 = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, sendIntent2, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
                                PendingIntent pendingIntent5 = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, sendIntent3, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
                                PendingIntent pendingIntent6 = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, openintent, 0);

                                RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
                                views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button1, pendingIntent1);
                                views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button2, pendingIntent2);
                                views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button3, pendingIntent3);
                                views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button4, pendingIntent4);
                                views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button5, pendingIntent5);
                                views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button6, pendingIntent6);

                                appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);

                            }

                }

        }

Problem is that button3, button4 and button5 (when I click on them) don’t send sms, but only open new sms screen, and I need to click on send SMS. What do I need to change, that SMS automaticly sends to recipient ??

Just ripped some of my old code from an app, this should work for sending SMS messages:

import android.telephony.PhoneStateListener;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.telephony.gsm.SmsManager;
import android.util.Log;

 send_text_message (Number, "This is a message"); 

private void send_text_message (String phoneNumber, String message) 
{
 if (phoneNumber.length() > 0 && message.length() > 0)
 {
  Log.i (TAG, "MyPhoneStateListener: onCallStateChanged(); test text sent to " + phoneNumber);    
  sendSMS(phoneNumber, message);      
 }
 else
 {
  Log.i (TAG, "MyPhoneStateListener: onCallStateChanged(); test text was NOT sent to " + phoneNumber);                   
 }
}   

private void sendSMS(String phoneNumber, String message)
{                     
 SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
 sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, message, null, null);        
}
