Homework 11 & 13: Are We There Yet?

Your last assignment (aside from the Final Project) is to create an Android app that sends and receives SMS messages back and forth. The idea is to create a communication service between the app and the user.

There's a quick tutorial on how to send an SMS message using Kotlin.

A few things to be aware of are:

  • Remember how intents are constructed and passed

  • Be familiar with how the SMSManager class actually work

  • Ask yourself if you have set the appropriate permissions

Sometimes the SMS feature will not work if you're debugging your app inside of an Android Emulator using a virtual device rather than a physical one.

If this is the case, please reach out to me or Ted to help you resolve the issue.

I wish you all the best on this last assignment. I am also looking forward to the presentation for your final project.
