Sending and receiving sms on J2me

jimmack are u there?...
i reposted... please aid
thanks a lot

Hi.  Yes I'm here.  Sorry for the delay ;-)  I'm looking into it now :-)

Can you post the code that sends the SMS (in particular the code containing the "sms://").

How are you executing this code (ie. ktoolbar emulator or in a real device)?

Hi jimmack, thanks 4 replying... really needed help as boss rushin.. ;+)

i cnt send in wtk2.0 using nokia7210 device, error says protocol does not exist.

i tried loading it to a real nokia7210 device, & it says application not supported. not even opening the application.

Note: serverPort = getAppProperty ("serverPort");

-------------------------Codings-----------------------

if (command == send1Command) {
try {
      String addr = "sms://+" + dest.getString();
                              
       MessageConnection conn =    (MessageConnection) Connector.open(addr);
       
       TextMessage msg =
(TextMessage) conn.newMessage(MessageConnection.TEXT_MESSAGE);
msg.setPayloadText( textMesg.getString() );
       
        conn.send(msg);
        conn.close();
        displayBlankForm ();
}
  catch (Exception e)
  {  
        System.out.println("Error in sending  
        command 1");
        e.printStackTrace ();
    }
}

The answer is now easy, but unfortunately not the one you want to hear :-(

The Nokia 7210 is not MIDP-2.0 compliant, it is only MIDP-1.0 compliant.  This means that the SMS protocol is not supported by the device (in fact, the only protocol that is supported is HTTP).

There are a few MIDP-2.0 devices around at the moment, but only the latest handsets.

Icic then izit i can implement sms in 7210 using midp 1.0.?

Hw does it goes?

How do i find out that which devices are supported?

Thanks a lot for ur reply ;p

And if sms protocol is not supported in midp 1.0, then midp 1.0 is for ???

Please advice.. .. thank u

okiokio

 :+)

Thanx ;-)

Hi jimmack,

gt another problem here... ...
i develop my application on
midp2.0, wtk2.0, sdk 6600.

I gt an error as below when i send through mobile 91234567:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Port format

and also Host format

What is the content of the string in the Connector.open() method call?

Does this work on the emulator?

This is the start of opening application on emulator
------------------------------------------------------------
Connected to WTK2.0 WMA bridge.
Using phone number: +5550000
Server Port: null
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Port format



The content of the string is "sms://+6598300120"

Is that a string literal from your code or do you build up the string before passing it to the open method.  The "Port format" problem would seem to be because you have an extra ":" somewhere in the string.

Can you display the string just before you call the open() method with it.

Hi Jimmack i managed to send...

However, my mobile did not receive the sms that i'm trying to send from my emulator?

PLease Advice.... .....

Izit becoz of the server port???    

My server port value is defined as below
serverPort = getAppProperty("serverPort");

-------------------------------------------------------
I system printed my statement b4 attempting to send... ... Below is the printed statements

Server Port: null
sms://+6598211090
-------------------------------------------------------

Where is this code running?  If it's in the emulator then the SMS has nowhere to go except the SMSC simulator in the PC.

If you want to get the SMS sent live "over the air", then you'll need to run it on the 6600 (the actual device, not the emulator).

Thanks Jimmack....

i gt it... ;p

Hi Chistina Jolie,
Hope I can help you.
- If you want to send SMS on Nokia, you can use Nokia SMS API. Go to www.forum.nokia.com, it is compatible with MIDP 1.0. You can find useful documents there.
- You can test SMS Sending and Receiving on J2ME Wirless Toolkit. This document can help you: http://java.sun.com/j2me/docs/wtk2.0/SMSDemo.html
Regards,

Hi step2java,

thanks for ur aid :)
i read the doc....but the MIDP being referred is MIDP 2.0 not 1.0....
please check

Nokia sms api is only supported in nokia 3140 mobile .....  :)

or u gt a way ???

Sorry for my hurrying.
- SMS Demo is only for MIDP 2.0
- The Nokia SMS API is available in the Nokia 3410 device. In future MIDP Java phones, when a wireless messaging API is included WMA will be supported instead of the Nokia SMS API. You should use WMA in your MIDlets in devices where it is available.

I think MIDP 2.0 will be supported in all phones soon. We hope that :-)

PS: I've just changed my account name from step2java to step2ME ;-)

haha okie ... i've developed for the midp 2.0...
thanks a lot 4 ur info :)

Hi,

I have written a similar app for sending SMS in J2ME but the SMS is never received on the device. I had loaded the app on another device and ran the app from there, but didn't receive the SMS.

Code -
      messageConnection = (MessageConnection) Connector.open("sms://18585314064");
      TextMessage textMessage = (TextMessage) messageConnection.newMessage(MessageConnection.TEXT_MESSAGE);
      textMessage.setAddress("sms://18585314064");
      textMessage.setPayloadText("This is a sample message");
      messageConnection.send(textMessage);

Can somebody tell me what could be the problem here? I don't think I am getting any exceptions here coz I ran the app on the emulator and it did not generate any exceptions.
I also have the MIDlet permissions set in the jad file for SMS and SMS.send.

Thanks in advance.
