Background SMS Send s60 3rd Ed

[jamespoh]

Hi, anybody knows how i can send SMS in the background without the editor?
Passing the TBool aLaunchEditorEmbedded as ETrue/False into CSendUi::CreateAndSendMessageL() dosent seem to make a difference

Thanks!

You should be able to send SMS in the background with SendAs API that is provided by RSendAs and RSendAsMessage classes.

Sending a message is done using e.g. RSendAsMessage::SendMessageAndCloseL(). The caller must hold sufficient capabilities to perform this action.

ic, thanks for the help! :)

hmm..i've looked at the RSendAsMessage class but not quite sure how to begin. I know i've got to first start a RSendAs session first..but from then onwards??? Couldnt find any examples or thread on any forum either besides this one either. Anybody got any ideas/clues/hints/code(:)) to share?

Thanks!

Hello,

Hope this helps. I just wrote it and seems to work.

RSendAs sendAs;
User::LeaveIfError(sendAs.Connect());
CleanupClosePushL(sendAs);

RSendAsMessage sendAsMessage;
sendAsMessage.CreateL(sendAs, KUidMsgTypeSMS);
CleanupClosePushL(sendAsMessage);

// prepare the message
sendAsMessage.AddRecipientL(aRecipient, RSendAsMessage::ESendAsRecipientTo);
sendAsMessage.SetBodyTextL(aMessageBody);

// send the message
sendAsMessage.SendMessageAndCloseL();

// sendAsMessage (already closed)
CleanupStack::Pop();

// sendAs
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy();

Hello,

Does anybody have some code for getting notified when an incomming SMS comes?

Thank you!

Does anybody have some code for getting notified when an incomming SMS comes?

Yes. You can create a CMsvSession, and the supplied observer will get notifications (EMsvEntriesCreated and EMsvEntriesChanged events occuring in the Inbox with messages of SmsMtm usually mean that an SMS has just arrived). Check other SMS-related threads for further information and examples.

I made in that way that I have a strange problem: I do not get the notification always.
I do not understand why.

[mantonenco]

I found the problem. Thanks wizard_hu_. The problem was that I was expecting only the EMsvEntriesCreated event on Inbox. Note for other people that run into the same problem: also EMsvEntriesChanged events occuring on Inbox may mean that an SMS has just arrived.

hi,

the code works fine to send sms..but the issue i face is that it asks the user for confirmation b4 sendin the sms...i believe that there is some security issue...can somone please clarify on that..

basically i want to send sms/email through my code without asking the user for anything...everything should happen in te background...

for email i change the mtm uid to the smtp type..but it crashes at that line....wonder why though

cheers
mayank

Yes, this is a security issue. If your code has the platform security capabilities for sending the SMS, the user is not asked for confirmation.
