Hi Andu, I am very new to android, and face the same problem. Reading your post I am very happy to follow but I really don't know to use that class for sending. Could you please give me some tips?

How are you I would like to thank you for your support. I get some code that enables me to send unicode character. I get it for the following site http://since2006.com/blog/android-send-unicode-message/# It may help others. Thank you again Andu On Jan 25, 10:58 pm, Frank Weiss wrote: > Howdy.

[android-developers] Re: Problem while sending unicode character via SMS
Hi How are you
As you have suggested me I have installed the Ethiopian font in my
device. And I think the font is installed properly. But still the SMS
doesn't work. I don't know which part I can check. The message still
replaces unicode characters by space characters in the receiving side.
can you suggest me some more points that I should check or correct?
Thank you again.
Andu.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Problem while sending unicode character via SMS
If the received character is U+0020 instead of U+1200, then chances are that
the message is being restricted to 7-bit somewhere along the line. This is
somewhat alluded to in the SDK Reference
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/SmsMessage.html#calculateLength(java.lang.CharSequence,%20boolean
)
Another problem may be the font. Have you installed the Ethiopian fonts in
your device or emulator? I just tried adding ቁ into an Android
application's string.xml res file. On both the emulator and the Droid, the
character is displayed as a small rectangle.
It may help in debugging to try some Latin-1/ISO-8859-1 characters, such as
U+00E3. This would test the 7-bit issue without having to install Ethiopian
fonts on the emulator or device.

[android-developers] Re: Problem while sending unicode character via SMS
Hello How are you
I have tried to send the sms with unicode character to the android
phone itself and accept the message by my application (using
BroadcastReceiver ...) to view its content. but still the unicode
character is displayed as space. And I tried to see its code using
codePointAt( ) and it displays number 32.
What do you suggest?
Should I change the encoding for my code, JVM, ...? How can I change
the encoding of my program? I am developing my application by Eclipse
and Android ADT.
Thank you for response.
and also I waiting your response

Re: [android-developers] Re: Problem while sending unicode character via SMS
The code looks good AFAICT.
Please give the actual before/after characters that are coming out wrong.
For example, try the Ethiopian syllable qu, U+1241. If it's coming across as
a box followed by an "A", then the receiver has gotten two characters,
U+0012 and U+0041. I really need to see the hexadecimal data in your sent
and received SMS messages to figure out what's going wrong.
I would also suggest that using the debugger or android.util.Log, instead of
Toast, would be a better way to debug.

[android-developers] Re: Problem while sending unicode character via SMS
To send the message I have used the following function:
public boolean sendSMSMessage(String compiledContent, String
DistinationAddress)
{
String receiverPhoneNumber = DistinationAddress;
String messageCenterPhoneNumber = "";
SmsManager smsMgr = SmsManager.getDefault();
smsMgr.sendTextMessage(receiverPhoneNumber, null,
compiledContent,
null, null);
return isSent;
}
To receive the message I have used the following function:
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
if(bundle != null)
{
Object messages[] = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
SmsMessage smsMessage[] = new SmsMessage[messages.length];
for (int n = 0; n < messages.length; n++)
{
smsMessage[n] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) messages
[n]);
}
// show first message
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, " Brhp Received SMS: "
+ smsMessage[0].getMessageBody()+ "from " + smsMessage
[0].getOriginatingAddress(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
String messageBody = smsMessage[0].getMessageBody();
String messageSource = smsMessage[0].getOriginatingAddress();
}
}
