Simulating SMS on Android Devices when developing

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to send an SMS from te DDMS in Eclipse to my Android phone. The emulator control is disabled when I'm running my physical phone. I can only sent a SMS to the emulator.

Answer 1

Indeed, this is quite easy with Android emulator to simulate sms and there are loads of tutorials for that : http://www.anddev.org/video-tut_-_simulating_incoming_phone_calls_-_sms_via_cmd-t135.html

But i'm not sure that you can do that with a phone. Command line is only for emulator use only I think. Though you could try to find the port on which your phone is connected and use the procedure with telnet to test it.
