Cross-platform plugin for Cordova / PhoneGap to to easily send SMS. Available for Android, iOS, Windows Phone 8 and Windows 10 Universal.
Using the Cordova CLI and NPM, run:
$ cordova plugin add cordova-sms-pluginIt is also possible to install via repo url directly (unstable), run :
cordova plugin add https://github.com/cordova-sms/cordova-sms-plugin.gitHTML
<input id="numberTxt" placeholder="Enter mobile number" value="" type="tel" />
<textarea id="messageTxt" placeholder="Enter message"></textarea>
<input type="button" onclick="app.sendSms()" value="Send SMS" />Javascript
var app = {
sendSms: function() {
var number = document.getElementById('numberTxt').value.toString(); /* iOS: ensure number is actually a string */
var message = document.getElementById('messageTxt').value;
console.log("number=" + number + ", message= " + message);
//CONFIGURATION
var options = {
replaceLineBreaks: false, // true to replace \n by a new line, false by default
android: {
intent: 'INTENT' // send SMS with the native android SMS messaging
//intent: '' // send SMS without opening any other app, require : android.permission.SEND_SMS and android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
}
};
var success = function () { alert('Message sent successfully'); };
var error = function (e) { alert('Message Failed:' + e); };
sms.send(number, message, options, success, error);
}
};On Android, two extra functions are exposed to know whether or not an app has permission and to request permission to send SMS (Android Marshmallow +).
var app = {
checkSMSPermission: function() {
var success = function (hasPermission) {
if (hasPermission) {
sms.send(...);
}
else {
// show a helpful message to explain why you need to require the permission to send a SMS
// read http://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html#explain for more best practices
}
};
var error = function (e) { alert('Something went wrong:' + e); };
sms.hasPermission(success, error);
},
requestSMSPermission: function() {
var success = function (hasPermission) {
if (!hasPermission) {
sms.requestPermission(function() {
console.log('[OK] Permission accepted')
}, function(error) {
console.info('[WARN] Permission not accepted')
// Handle permission not accepted
})
}
};
var error = function (e) { alert('Something went wrong:' + e); };
sms.hasPermission(success, error);
}
};Please go through all the closed issues about this subject. The issue is mostly coming from the way you installed the plugin, please double check everything before opening another issue.
If sending a SMS is a core feature of your application and you would like to send a SMS with options = { android: { intent: '' } }, you need to fill this form. If it is not a core feature of your application, you have to use options = { android: { intent: 'INTENT' } }. Please, read this page to learn more.
When building my project for android I get the following error: cannot find symbol: cordova.hasPermission(string)
You need to update cordova-android to the latest version (recommended), or at least to the version 5.1.1.
cordova platform update android or cordova platform update [email protected]

Make sure the number argument passed is converted to string first using either String(number) or number.toString(). Notice that toString() won't work if the number argument is null or undefined.

The problem is that you need to make sure that you set the target to android-19 or later in your ./platforms/android/project.properties file like this:
# Project target.
target=android-19
How can I send an sms in my iOS app without passing control to the native app like it can be done on Android?
This isn't possible on iOS. It requires that you show the user the native sms composer, to be able to send an sms.
If your app is successful or if you are working for a company, please consider donating some beer money 🍺:
Keep in mind that I am maintaining this repository on my free time so thank you for considering a donation. 👍
I believe that everything is working, feel free to put in an issue or to fork and make pull requests if you want to add a new feature.
Things you can fix:
- Allow for null number to be passed in Right now, it breaks when a null value is passed in for a number, but it works if it's a blank string, and allows the user to pick the number It should automatically convert a null value to an empty string
