How do I send Call Log history via sms in Android?

Question

I'm trying to send CallLog history via sms. Well the CallLog history is displaying in TextView but SMS is not working.

Code:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_call_log);
tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.call);

    getCallDetails();
}


private void getCallDetails() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    Cursor managedCursor = managedQuery( CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI,null, null,null, null);
    int number = managedCursor.getColumnIndex( CallLog.Calls.NUMBER ); 
    int type = managedCursor.getColumnIndex( CallLog.Calls.TYPE );
    int date = managedCursor.getColumnIndex( CallLog.Calls.DATE);
    int duration = managedCursor.getColumnIndex( CallLog.Calls.DURATION);
    sb.append( "Call Details :");
    while ( managedCursor.moveToNext() ) {
    String phNumber = managedCursor.getString( number );
    String callType = managedCursor.getString( type );
    String callDate = managedCursor.getString( date );
    Date callDayTime = new Date(Long.valueOf(callDate));
    String callDuration = managedCursor.getString( duration );
    String dir = null;
    int dircode = Integer.parseInt( callType );
    switch( dircode ) {
    case CallLog.Calls.OUTGOING_TYPE:
    dir = "OUTGOING";
    break;

    case CallLog.Calls.INCOMING_TYPE:
    dir = "INCOMING";
    break;

    case CallLog.Calls.MISSED_TYPE:
    dir = "MISSED";
    break;
    }
    sb.append( "\nPhone Number:--- "+phNumber +" \nCall Type:--- "+dir+" \nCall Date:--- "+callDayTime+" \nCall duration in sec :--- "+callDuration );
    sb.append("\n----------------------------------");
    }
    managedCursor.close();


    String str = sb.toString();
    SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
    sms.sendTextMessage("5554", null, str, null, null);
    }

Do you need to send sms in background only or is it okay if sms compose screen will come into picture? — Pratik Sharma, Dec 15 '12 at 09:54

Because it possible your message string length is more then one message length so use smsManager. divideMessage (String text) for sending message if string exceed SMS size limit as:

SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault(); 

if(str.length()>160){
    ArrayList<String> smses = smsManager.divideMessage(str);  

        smsManager.sendMultipartTextMessage("5554", null,
                    smses, null, null);
 }
else{
      sms.sendTextMessage("5554", null, smses, null, null);
 }

and make sure you have added following permission in AndroidManifest.xml :

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />

Thanks! but Can't we able to send in a Single message? – DroidLearner Dec 15 '12 at 10:08
@Learner678 : just check if condition because i'm not confirm about message length that's why i have used 160 you can search for default message length and check if then it will work in both cases. try after changing `if(str.length()>130)` instead of `if(str.length()>160)` – ρяσѕρєя K Dec 15 '12 at 10:12
Alright! I have changed to some other digits, but still the message is breaking into more than one. – DroidLearner Dec 15 '12 at 10:19
@Learner678 : this is another issue dear just check it on real device or make an new question about this issue thanks do much – ρяσѕρєя K Dec 15 '12 at 10:50
I removed sms coding and displayed in `TextView`. Its working on Emulator. I tried running on real device, its showing error **12-15 16:54:36.660: E/AndroidRuntime(4278): Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: reading com.android.providers.contacts.CallLogProvider uri content://call_log/calls from pid=4278, uid=10094 requires android.permission.READ_CONTACTS** Already I included permission in Manifest. – DroidLearner Dec 15 '12 at 11:26
@Learner678 : ok post your Manifest – ρяσѕρєя K Dec 15 '12 at 11:27

Now I Included `android.permission.READ_CONTACTS` in Manifest and its working on real device. In emulator its working without adding `android.permission.READ_CONTACTS` – DroidLearner Dec 15 '12 at 11:31

Your Code is working well.

SmsManager sm=SmsManager.getDefault();

String phoneNumber="xxxxxxxxxx";
String message="test text message";

sm.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, message, null, null);

I think you need to add this permission.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/>

I tried it and it charged me too for 1 sent sms. :)

Hope it helps you.

THanks.
