Xamarin.Android: Check SMS Status - android

In my Xamarin.Android app I send SMS using the following code :
send.Click += (s, e) =>
{
SmsManager.Default.SendTextMessage(number.Text, null, message.Text, null, null);
}
And in another button, I want to check which messages are delivered and which are not, to send undelivered message again.
How can I :
Find messages? Is there an ID (a unique one for each sms) or I should find messages by Number and Text?
Check the status of each message?

Please try the parameters sentIntent and deliveryIntent. Both are PendingIntents that will be broadcasted upon successful sending and delivery to the recipient. Upon building your intent you can add some id from your app that helps you identify which sms was sent/not sent.
To see how to query the SMSProvider, take a look at
this StackOverflow anwer.
The answer above uses Telephony.Sms.Inbox. I suggest trying to access Telephony.Sms.Conversations, which according to the doc contains all sent text-based SMS messages. As the class extends android.provider.Telephony.TextBasedSmsColumns, you should be able to query several error codes and status.

How to send sms to multiple people you have a history with using URL launcher flutter

I am using following code:
//Sms phone number
String num1='123';
String num2='456';
String msg='Hello world';
final sms = Uri.parse('sms:${num1},${num2}?body=${msg}');
if (await canLaunchUrl(sms)) {
await launchUrl(sms);
} else {
throw 'Could not launch $sms';
}
This will send a msg to the numbers 123 & 456.
However if one of these numbers is already in my contacts or I've previously texted them this will open up my chat with them and only send the msg to this number and therefore cancel out sending the msg to the other recipient.
So basically I cannot send to multiple recipients if I already have a history with one of them.
How can I go through with the sms instead of it opening my history with one of those contacts?
You could use one or booth of those packages.
I would fetch all the previous send messages and iterate though so see if there is one message with an equal phone number as of my current one.
SMS - To get the previous send Messages
Contacs Service - To get all your Contacts

Send automatic message via android app

I'm just wondering is it possible to send a Message from the app without using actionView or actionSend ( meaning no asking for chooser to send via google or hotmail etc.. ) from the Intent ?
what I want to make is like a TextView and a Button
the user will enter a text in the textview and then click the Button to send the message, then the message will be automiatlly sent to the developer ( me )
I hope what I'm thinking of is possible.
I'm not sure what kind of message you are trying to send, but you can use the SMS feature of the phone to send not only a SMS, but an email, too.
SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
sms.sendTextMessage("1"+yourPhoneNumber, userPhoneNumber, message, null, null);
You can replace phone numbers with emails and it will work without user interaction (unlike sending an email through an email client which cannot be done automatically). You can try it out by texting your own email. For your specific situation, you could set up a developer email that handles all of these messages that you are trying to send. The only issue with this is that you may not know who you are receiving messages from. For example, if you send a SMS -> email, it might show up as from something#vz.com or something. However, you can mitigate this by including addition info in the message payload itself.
Yes, it is possible. You can use the internet connection to have the message saved to some cloud storage or something. Personally, I prefer using Parse.com because they have an amazing API that saves you a lot of hassle.
Just add the message from the EditText to a ParseObject and call the saveEventually() method. As soon as the internet is back on, the message will be sent to your cloud storage.

How to get sms/mms delivery report while sending through intent?

I am trying to send sms from my android app using intent, i have checked out other links too to get the delivery report, but all of them are using SMS-Manager, but here I'm using intent and i am calling the device default sms app.
the code is like this:
Intent inten = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
inten.setType("text/*"); //for text
inten.putExtra("sms_body", body);
inten.putExtra("sms_body", body);
But if suppose the user doesn't have the sms balance, or the minimum balance required to send the sms, then obviously the sms won't be send, then how to
1> get the notification,
2> notify the user that his sms is not sent, and
3> the reason because of which it is not sent. (may be insufficient balance, or incorrect phone number, or any other possibilities)
basically i need to get the delivery report, is it possible to get that
and if I am sending the sms to multiple person then out of that list who got that sms, and who didn't
Thanks

Is that possible to send a message with Name of sender in android GCM.?

I have developed an android application which can send and receive push messages using Android GCM. Suppose if I am sending a push message to "xyz" device from "aaa" device I am getting a push messages succesfully, but what I need is that parallelly I wanted to display the name of the device which has sent a message with respect to the body of GCM message.
Ex:
xyz:
hi test
Please suggest me on this. Thanks in advance
Regards
Anand
You can send anything in the GCM message. If you want to send the name of the sender alongwith the message, you first need to get the name of the user and save it in a variable. Then add that name with the message in the GCM message. To differentiate the name and message part of the push notification, you can encode the GCM message in a JSON format and then send it to the other user. Then you can decode the message using JSON decoder.
