Is it possible with concatinated data-SMS in Android?

pasta_paul

Is the functionality for fragmentation and reassembling concatenated SMS messages built in for the sendsendDataMessage() and the sendTextMessage() ? In other words; If I put a arraybyte over 200 bytes as input to the sendDataMessage, will it be fragmented and reassembled automatically, so the getUserData() will give the same 200 bytes?

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

No, it couldn't. The maximum SMS message size is 140 bytes, even if when you use SmsManager.sendDataMessage() . So you need to set a loop to handle your multipart sms. Maybe you also need SmsManager.divideMessage(String text) to do several fragments. Please refer to this problem: http://www.anddev.org/networking-database-problems-f29/npe-from-smsmanager-senddatamessage-t49916.html BTW, so I think just for this reason, Google choose to open this API: SmsManager.sendMultipartTextMessage()
