Overview

This code snippet demonstrates how to send an SMS using RSendAs and RSendAsMessage.

MMP file

The following library is required:

LIBRARY  sendas2.lib

You may also want to add the following capability:

CAPABILITY  NetworkServices

The capability is not required but without it the application asks for permission to send the message.

Header file

private:  // New methods
    void SendSMSL();

Source file

#include <rsendas.h>
#include <rsendasmessage.h>
#include <smut.h>

void CAppUi::SendSMSL()
{
    RSendAs sendAs;
    TInt err = sendAs.Connect();
    if (err) {
        // TODO: Error handling
        return;
    }
    CleanupClosePushL(sendAs);
 
    RSendAsMessage sendAsMessage;
    sendAsMessage.CreateL(sendAs, KUidMsgTypeSMS);
    CleanupClosePushL(sendAsMessage);
 
    // Add the receiver
    _LIT(KReceiver, "+358123123123");
    sendAsMessage.AddRecipientL(KReceiver, RSendAsMessage::ESendAsRecipientTo);
 
    // Set the body text
    _LIT(KBodyText, "Hello!");
    sendAsMessage.SetBodyTextL(KBodyText);
 
    // Send the message
    sendAsMessage.SendMessageAndCloseL();
 
    CleanupStack::Pop(); // sendAsMessage (already closed)
    CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); // sendAs
 
    _LIT(KInfoText, "Message sent.");
    iAppView->LogPrintL(KInfoText);
}

Postconditions

The application sends an SMS to the number specified in the code.
