[Pramod P Deore]

Hello everybody, In my application I want to send sms, but the application must have to run in the background. It send the sms but it is not run in the background. I have following code.

//Background.java

  
package com.micro;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class Background extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        
        startService(new Intent(this, MyService.class));
    }
}
 

My Service class look like this

//MyService.java

  
package com.micro;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentFilter;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.telephony.gsm.SmsManager;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MyService extends Service
{
		@Override
		public IBinder onBind(Intent intent)
		{
			return null;
		}
		
		@Override
		public void onCreate()
		{
			sendSMS("9960510915","Pramod Deore");
		
		}
	  
		@Override
		public void onDestroy()
		{
		
		}
		
		@Override
		public void onStart(Intent intent, int startid)
		{
		
		}
		
		 public  void sendSMS(String phoneNumber, String message)
		    {        
		        String SENT = "SMS_SENT";
		        String DELIVERED = "SMS_DELIVERED";
		 
		        PendingIntent sentPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,new Intent(SENT), 0);
		 
		        PendingIntent deliveredPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,new Intent(DELIVERED), 0);
		 
		        //---when the SMS has been sent---
		        registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver(){
		           
		            public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1)
		            {
		                switch (getResultCode())
		                {
		                    case Activity.RESULT_OK:
		                        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS sent", 
		                                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
		                        break;
		                    case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_GENERIC_FAILURE:
		                        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Generic failure", 
		                                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
		                        break;
		                    case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_NO_SERVICE:
		                        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "No service", 
		                                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
		                        break;
		                    case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_NULL_PDU:
		                        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Null PDU",

		                    case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_RADIO_OFF:
		                        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Radio off", 
		                                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
		                        break;
		                }
		            }
		        }, new IntentFilter(SENT)); 
		 
		        //---when the SMS has been delivered---
		        registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver()
		        {
		                public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1)

		                	switch (getResultCode())
		                	{
		                    	case Activity.RESULT_OK:
		                        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS delivered",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
		                        break;
		                    	case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
		                        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS not delivered",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
		                        break;                        
		                	}
		                }
		        },new IntentFilter(DELIVERED));        
		 
		        SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
		        sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, message, sentPI, deliveredPI);        
		    }
		  
		    	
	}

</manifest> 

But when I run it It is not running in the background.

Thanks

Hello anybody is there?

Hi Pramod,
Why don't you write broadcast receiver class as inner-class rather than anonymous class?
I feel code wise ok may be just some debugging needed like check in adb whether the events are recieved or not.
