Sending and Receiving SMS and MMS in Android (pre Kit Kat Android 4.4)

Question

I have figured out how to send and receive SMS messages. To send SMS messages I had to call the sendTextMessage() and sendMultipartTextMessage() m

Answer 1

To send an mms for Android 4.0 api 14 or higher without permission to write apn settings, you can use this library: Retrieve mnc and mcc codes from android, then call

Carrier c = Carrier.getCarrier(mcc, mnc);
if (c != null) {
    APN a = c.getAPN();
    if (a != null) {
        String mmsc = a.mmsc;
        String mmsproxy = a.proxy; //"" if none
        int mmsport = a.port; //0 if none
    }
}

To use this, add Jsoup and droid prism jar to the build path, and import com.droidprism.*;
