Send sms permission doesn't work

Question

I want to send a simple message and i have <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/> in my manifest, but I always get: java.lang.SecurityException: Sending SMS message: uid 10064 does not have android.permission.SEND_SMS.

I checked this answer, but it still doesn't work.

this is my manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.roa.sendsms" >


<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/>

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

and this is my code:

package com.roa.sendsms;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton;
import android.support.design.widget.Snackbar;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
import android.telephony.SmsManager;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.Button;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    Button sendButton =  (Button)findViewById(R.id.sendButton);
    sendButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            sendSms(phoneNumber, "you get message from roish app!!");
        }
    });
}

private void sendSms(String phoneNumber, String message){
    SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
    sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, message, null, null);
}

}

thank to all.

Answer 1

All you need to do is,

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.roa.sendsms"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/>

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="19"/>

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

        <activity
            android:name="com.example.homesafe.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name">

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />    
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

Try to run into the mobile instead checking it to the emulator. Just because emulator does not have the sim card as our mobiles have, so.

Try to use something like this. Not tested, but should work fine. Drop a note when you see some problem here.

This is just to show how permission granting in Android M works. Please extend it by functionalities mentioned on Android tutorial site about permissions.

You will need add ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale check to match best practices. I can extend this answer but I think it's not necessary. Just make sure you are granting permissions in runtime (or use targetSdkVersion lower then 23 - this is however not recommended)

private static final int PERMISSION_SEND_SMS = 123;

private void requestSmsPermission() {

    // check permission is given
    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        // request permission (see result in onRequestPermissionsResult() method)
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(thisActivity,
            new String[]{Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS},
            PERMISSION_SEND_SMS);
    } else {
        // permission already granted run sms send
        sendSms(phone, message);
    }
}

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS: {

            if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                // permission was granted
                sendSms(phone, message);
            } else {
                // permission denied
            }
            return;
        }
    }
}

private void sendSms(String phoneNumber, String message){
    SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
    sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, message, null, null);
}

Answer 3

You may try this way:

private void sendSms(String phoneNumber, String message) {
   Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse( "sms:" + phoneNumber ) ); 
   intent.putExtra( "sms_body", message ); 
   startActivity(intent);
}

Answer 4

That should work

PackageManager pm = this.getPackageManager();

 if (pm.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_TELEPHONY)) {
     System.out.println("Supported");
 } else {
     System.out.println("nope");
 }

Answer 5

i had same problem you need to get runtime permission on setting>app>"your app" >enable sms permission

Answer 6

I tried this in Huawei Android 8, besides adding permission READ_PHONE_STATE in manifest, the phone needs to allow to "access phone ID" to the app. Then it works.
