Sending SMS in Android Application

Question

I'm trying to build a project that shows how you can send SMS via Android Application. I have built the project (in eclipse) using the SmsManager object, according to the code here: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/android/android_sending_sms.htm

the project is running good, but the SMS isn't sent to me. I guess that there is something else I need to add in order that the SMS actually be sent - so what am i missing? Or maybe I'm not inserting the number correctly? how should I write it? I tried a few ways...

Any help will be deeply appriciated! Thank you.

yes, I've added the permission to the manifest... and even though the project is running, and I've added log messages nothing is showing there... — Bramat, Jan 07 '15 at 14:18

Here is the code for selecting the contact from the contact list on button click:

Button x;
String phn_no, msg,c;

    x.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
                        ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
                startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT);
            }

        });


    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

        switch (requestCode) {
        case (1):
            if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
                Uri contactData = data.getData();
                Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(contactData, null, null,
                        null, null);
                if (c.moveToFirst()) {
                    String id = c
                            .getString(c
                                    .getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));

                    String hasPhone = c
                            .getString(c
                                    .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER));

                    if (hasPhone.equalsIgnoreCase("1")) {
                        Cursor phones = getContentResolver()
                                .query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
                                        null,
                                        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID
                                        + " = " + id, null, null);
                        phones.moveToFirst();
                        phn_no = phones.getString(phones
                                .getColumnIndex("data1"));

                        // Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), phn_no,
                        // Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        contact_num.setText(phn_no);

                        // String name =
                        // c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(StructuredPostal.DISPLAY_NAME));
                        // Toast.makeText(this, "contact info : "+
                        // phn_no+"\n"+name, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }

                }
            }
        }
    }

This is the code for sending SMS:

    void send_sms(final String phn_no, final String msg) {
        final SmsManager smsManager = SmsManager.getDefault();
        smsManager.sendTextMessage(phn_no, null, msg, null, null);
    }
