When I send SMS, sometimes result code = 0. What does that code mean?

plumb_pete

smsManager.sendMultipartTextMessage( mDests[i], mServiceCenter, messages, sentIntents, deliveryIntents); In my SmsReceiver (sentIntents) sometimes I receive getResultCode() = 0 . According to the documentation: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/SmsManager.html It means STATUS_ON_ICC_FREE . But I can't understand what it is. When it is returned - SMS are not sent. What does this mean and how to fix it? What is the reason...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

You're just comparing result code to the wrong constant. SmsManager.sendMultipartTextMessage Javadoc clearly states about the possible values returned by the getResultCode() in the sentIntents broadcast: The result code will be Activity.RESULT_OK for success, or one of these errors: RESULT_ERROR_GENERIC_FAILURE RESULT_ERROR_RADIO_OFF RESULT_ERROR_NULL_PDU In my opinion STATUS_ON_ICC_xxx constants were added to the public API by mistake since they are used only by hidden methods of the SmsManager class: copyMessageToIcc , deleteMessageFromIcc etc. UPDATE However this doesn't explain why do you receive 0 from getResultCode() . As neither of these constant is equal to zero (...
