If you want to send the SMS programmatically then follow the following steps.

Take a button on activity_main.xml file as follows.

<Button android:id="@+id/btnSendSMS" 
             android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
             android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
             android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" 
             android:layout_centerVertical="true" 
             android:onClick=”sendmySMS” 
             android:text="sendSMS" />

According to above code when user clicks the button sendmySMS method will be

called. sendmySMS is user defined method.

In the AndroidManifest.xml file, add the following statements

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

Now we write the final step. Write the given below method in MainActivity,java file

publicvoidsendmySMS(View v)
{
SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault(); 
sms.sendTextMessage("5556", null, "Hello from MindStick", null, null);
}

In this example we have used two emulator. On the first Android emulator (5544),

click the Send SMSbutton to send an SMS message to the second emulator(5546).
