Is there already functionality similar to the push registry or
wireless messaging API in J2ME implemented in Android? Or at least
plans to do so? I have been looking at this issue for a while, because
in a corporate environment it is essential to be able to push
information out, or trigger actions via SMS or other connections.
I have successfully sent an SMS between emulator instances, and
successfully received an SMS by using a BroadcastReceiver on another
emulator instance. I have also been able to use
SmsManager.sendDataMessage() to send a data message to a port on
another emulator instance, but in this case the BroadcastReceiver is
never triggered. This seems to be the closest the API's get to what
I'm looking for, but I can't get it to work. Any info would be greatly
appreciated.
I attempted to receive a data message by adding these lines to the
manifest:
<receiver android:name=".DataSMSReceiver"
android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.intent.action.DATA_SMS_RECEIVED" />
<data android:scheme="sms"/>
<data android:host="localhost"/>
<data android:port="3492"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
And the onReceive method in the DataSMSReceiver is never called. It
*is* called if I get an SMS. I have tried these permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_WAP_PUSH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_MMS" />
I sent the data message from another activity using this code (5554
happened to be the port the destination emulator was running on):
SmsManager mgr = SmsManager.getDefault();
short port = 3492;
String mesg = "Test data message";
mgr.sendDataMessage("5554",null,port,mesg.getBytes(),null,null);
This was received by the other emulator, it just didn't trigger the
broadcast receiver. Is there something else that needs to be done to
achieve this?
Thanks very much.
