Example of sending sms in android

activity_main.xml

Drag the 2 edittexts, 2 textviews and 1 button from the pallete, now the activity_main.xml file will like this:
File: activity_main.xml
  1. <RelativeLayout xmlns:androclass="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
  2.     xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"  
  3.     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
  4.     android:layout_height="match_parent"  
  5.     tools:context=".MainActivity" >  
  6.   
  7.     <EditText  
  8.         android:id="@+id/editText1"  
  9.         android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
  10.         android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
  11.         android:layout_alignParentRight="true"  
  12.         android:layout_alignParentTop="true"  
  13.         android:layout_marginRight="20dp"  
  14.         android:ems="10" />  
  15.   
  16.     <EditText  
  17.         android:id="@+id/editText2"  
  18.         android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
  19.         android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
  20.         android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/editText1"  
  21.         android:layout_below="@+id/editText1"  
  22.         android:layout_marginTop="26dp"  
  23.         android:ems="10"  
  24.         android:inputType="textMultiLine" />  
  25.   
  26.     <TextView  
  27.         android:id="@+id/textView1"  
  28.         android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
  29.         android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
  30.         android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/editText1"  
  31.         android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/editText1"  
  32.         android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/editText1"  
  33.         android:text="Mobile No:" />  
  34.   
  35.     <TextView  
  36.         android:id="@+id/textView2"  
  37.         android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
  38.         android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
  39.         android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/editText2"  
  40.         android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/editText2"  
  41.         android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView1"  
  42.         android:text="Message:" />  
  43.   
  44.     <Button  
  45.         android:id="@+id/button1"  
  46.         android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
  47.         android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
  48.         android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/editText2"  
  49.         android:layout_below="@+id/editText2"  
  50.         android:layout_marginLeft="34dp"  
  51.         android:layout_marginTop="48dp"  
  52.         android:text="Send SMS" />  
  53.   
  54. </RelativeLayout>  

Write the permission code in Android-Manifest.xml file

You need to write SEND_SMS permission as given below:
  1. <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/>  
  2.    
File: Android-Manifest.xml
  1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
  2. <manifest   
  3. xmlns:androclass="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
  4.     package="com.example.sendsms"  
  5.     android:versionCode="1"  
  6.     android:versionName="1.0" >  
  7.   
  8.     <uses-sdk  
  9.         android:minSdkVersion="8"  
  10.         android:targetSdkVersion="16" />  
  11.   
  12.     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/>  
  13.     
  14.     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"/>  
  15.   
  16.     <application  
  17.         android:allowBackup="true"  
  18.         android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"  
  19.         android:label="@string/app_name"  
  20.         android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >  
  21.         <activity  
  22.             android:name="com.example.sendsms.MainActivity"  
  23.             android:label="@string/app_name" >  
  24.             <intent-filter>  
  25.                 <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />  
  26.   
  27.                 <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />  
  28.             </intent-filter>  
  29.         </activity>  
  30.     </application>  
  31.   
  32. </manifest>  

Activity class

Let's write the code to make the phone call via intent.
File: MainActivity.java
  1. package com.example.sendsms;  
  2.   
  3. import android.os.Bundle;  
  4. import android.app.Activity;  
  5. import android.app.PendingIntent;  
  6. import android.content.Intent;  
  7. import android.telephony.SmsManager;  
  8. import android.view.Menu;  
  9. import android.view.View;  
  10. import android.view.View.OnClickListener;  
  11. import android.widget.Button;  
  12. import android.widget.EditText;  
  13. import android.widget.Toast;  
  14.   
  15. public class MainActivity extends Activity {  
  16.   
  17.     EditText mobileno,message;  
  18.     Button sendsms;  
  19.     @Override  
  20.     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
  21.         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
  22.         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
  23.           
  24.         mobileno=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);  
  25.         message=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText2);  
  26.         sendsms=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);  
  27.           
  28.     //Performing action on button click  
  29.         sendsms.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {  
  30.               
  31.             @Override  
  32.             public void onClick(View arg0) {  
  33.                 String no=mobileno.getText().toString();  
  34.                 String msg=message.getText().toString();  
  35.                   
  36.                 //Getting intent and PendingIntent instance  
  37.                 Intent intent=new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MainActivity.class);  
  38.                 PendingIntent pi=PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent,0);  
  39.                   
  40.                 //Get the SmsManager instance and call the sendTextMessage method to send message  
  41.                 SmsManager sms=SmsManager.getDefault();  
  42.                 sms.sendTextMessage(no, null, msg, pi,null);  
  43.                   
  44.                 Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Message Sent successfully!",  
  45.                     Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();  
  46.             }  
  47.         });  
  48.     }  
  49.   
  50.     @Override  
  51.     public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {  
  52.         // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.  
  53.         getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);  
  54.         return true;  
  55.     }  
  56.       
  57. }

Inverted Linear Quadtree: Efficient Top K Spatial Keyword Search

Inverted Linear Quadtree: Efficient Top K Spatial Keyword Search ABSTRACT: In this paper, With advances in geo-positioning technologies and geo-location services, there are a rapidly growing amount of spatiotextual objects collected in many applications such as location based services and social networks, in which an object is described by its spatial location and a set of keywords (terms). Consequently, the study of spatial keyword search which explores both location and textual description of the objects has attracted great attention from the commercial organizations and research communities. In the paper, we study two fundamental problems in the spatial keyword queries: top k spatial keyword search (TOPK-SK), and batch top k spatial keyword search (BTOPK-SK). Given a set of spatio-textual objects, a query location and a set of query keywords, the TOPK-SK retrieves the closest k objects each of which contains all keywords in the query. BTOPK-SK is the batch processing of sets...
