This module extends the Appcelerator Titanium Mobile framework, allowing to send text messages directly from your app, by simply providing the recipient's phone number and the message body.
This version of the module completely replaces the old one, which was not compatible with Titanium > 1.8.X. This version provides a new API and it has been built and used with Ti SDK 3.0.X
First, you must have your Android and Titanium Mobile SDKs in place, and have at least read the first few pages of the Android Module Developer Guide from Appcelerator.
Before building the module you must change the directory references you find in the build.properties file according to your filesystem layout.
The build process can be launched by simply running
# ant
from the module's code root directory.
As a result, the ti.android.sms-android-1.0.0.zip file will be generated in the dist/ directory.
You can either copy this file to $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Titanium and reference the module in your application (the Titanium SDK will automatically unzip the file in the right place), or manually launch the command:
unzip -u -o ti.android.sms-android-1.0.0.zip -d ~/Library/Application\ Support/Titanium/
For your convenience you'll find a pre-built module package in the dist/ directory.
Simply add the following lines to your tiapp.xml file:
<modules>
<module platform="android">ti.android.sms</module>
</modules>
In order to access the module from JavaScript, you should do the following:
var smsMod = require('ti.android.sms');
Ti.API.info("module is => " + smsMod);
smsMod.addEventListener('complete', function(e){
Ti.API.info('Result: ' + (e.success?'success':'failure') + ' msg: ' + e.resultMessage);
var result = 'unexpected result...';
switch (e.result) {
case smsMod.SENT:
result = 'SENT';
break;
case smsMod.DELIVERED:
result = 'DELIVERED';
break;
case smsMod.FAILED:
result = 'FAILED';
break;
case smsMod.CANCELLED:
result = 'CANCELLED';
break;
}
alert('Message sending result: ' + result);
} );
In version 1.0.1 a message can fire more than one "complete" event. If you rely on the this event in your code, please note this change. More information in the Change Log below.
Sending a message is as simple as:
var recipient = '+1 234 567 890';
var text = 'hello world';
smsMod.sendSMS(recipient, text);
The result of the operation can be tracked through the complete event previously registered.
1.0.1 Added support for messages with over 140 characters, in which case the message will be sent using multiple SMSs, depending on the length of the message. Those messages will appear as one SMS on modern phones (all smart phones) regardless. This applies also to some message of 140 characters and less which include characters in non-Latin script (e.g. Russian, Hebrew, Arabic), which, due to character encoding may actually contain more than 140 characters in the SMS itself. For example, a message using Latin script which consists of 150 characters will be sent using two SMSs. A message which consists of 140 characters, but which has one or more characters in non-Latin script will also be sent using two SMSs.
Due to this change, a message sent using this version will fire the complete event once for every SMS sent. Please take that into consideration if your application relies on this event to run a function, since this code may now run more than once.
