if piSend and piDelivered are Pending Intent then why are they only used when length < MAX_SMS_MESSAGE_LENGTH? – adi181188 Sep 19 '17 at 08:10

after reading the comments besides SMS_SENT there are no explanations for the other values(i dont understand SMS_SENT too why it needs to be my.app?). – adi181188 Sep 19 '17 at 08:13

1SMS_SENT and SMS_RECEIVED are constant for e.g.`final String SMS_SENT= "sms_sent"` – Sunny Sep 19 '17 at 08:30

1it does not need to be my.app you can put anything here – Sunny Sep 19 '17 at 08:35

ok and what about piSend and piDelivered why are they only used when the message length is smaller then the MAX_SMS_MESSAGE_LENGTH? – adi181188 Sep 19 '17 at 09:20

1MAX_SMS_MESSAGE_LENGTH = 160 piSend and piDelivered are already explained there. – Sunny Sep 19 '17 at 09:29

i understand piSend and piDelivered are used in a normal case but why not when we call manager.sendMultipartTextMessage(phonenumber, null, messagelist, null, null);? – adi181188 Sep 19 '17 at 12:15

Send it directly using SmsManager. This will require the SEND_SMS permission.
If you delegate the work to a third-party app (e.g., via ACTION_SEND or ACTION_SENDTO), then the user and the other app decide if and when to send the SMS, not you. You are merely suggesting an SMS to send.

SmsManager does not work for me and from what i understand it does not show the sms at the inbox of the end device – adi181188 Sep 18 '17 at 16:19
