Problem in Sending a SMS

[Romin Irani]

I have created a simple Thrutu Button which launches an Activity in
Android when it is selected.

From this activity, I want to send across a SMS to the recipient or
caller - just like how the Map (Where I am) button does.

I have ensured that for this activity, the following entry is present
in the AndroidManifest.xml file:
<meta-data android:name="one way capable" android:value="true" />

Now in the activity on the click of a button, I want to send the SMS.
So I tried launching the SMS as mentioned in the Reference guide as
follows:

In the OnClick of a button, I try to send the SMS as follows:

Intent iSendSMS = new Intent(ThrutuServiceInterface.ACTION_SEND_SMS);
iSendSMS.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "My SMS Text goes here");

iSendSMS.putExtra(ThrutuServiceInterface.EXTRA_CORRELATOR,getIntent().getExtras().getString(ThrutuServiceInterface.EXTRA_CORRELATOR));

iSendSMS.putExtra(ThrutuServiceInterface.EXTRA_CONNECTION_MODE,getIntent().getExtras().getString(ThrutuServiceInterface.EXTRA_CONNECTION_MODE));
startActivity(iSendSMS);

But this results in the following exception which I reproduce from
LogCat:

Question : What entries need to go in the AndroidManifest.xml to
handle this ?

Kindly revert back at the earliest to help me complete my submission.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Romin,

Can you confirm where in your manifest file you are putting the "one
way capable" meta-data? It should go inside the <service> or
<activity> tag that defines your button.

Cheers,
Charlie

Hi Charlie,

Thanks for the email. Actually I ended up with my own activity to send out the SMS. 

But to answer your question, I did put the "one way capable" meta-data inside the <activity> tag.

Thanks

Romin
