I am trying to send messages using smslib api and to be honest i have very little info about it so i download a sample project and put the libs in respective places as told . My class to send messages is :
public class SendMessage{
public void doIt() throws Exception
{
OutboundNotification outboundNotification = new OutboundNotification();
System.out.println("Example: Send message from a serial gsm modem.");
System.out.println(Library.getLibraryDescription());
System.out.println("Version: " + Library.getLibraryVersion());
SerialModemGateway gateway = new SerialModemGateway("modem.com4", "COM4", 9600, "", "");
gateway.setInbound(true);
gateway.setOutbound(true);
Service.getInstance().setOutboundMessageNotification(outboundNotification);
Service.getInstance().addGateway(gateway);
Service.getInstance().startService();
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Modem Information:");
System.out.println(" Manufacturer: " + gateway.getManufacturer());
System.out.println(" Model: " + gateway.getModel());
System.out.println(" Serial No: " + gateway.getSerialNo());
System.out.println(" SIM IMSI: " + gateway.getImsi());
System.out.println(" Signal Level: " + gateway.getSignalLevel() + " dBm");
System.out.println(" Battery Level: " + gateway.getBatteryLevel() + "%");
System.out.println();
OutboundMessage msg = new OutboundMessage("contact_num", "Hello from SMSLib!");
Service.getInstance().sendMessage(msg);
System.out.println(msg);
System.out.println("Now Sleeping - Hit <enter> to terminate.");
System.in.read();
Service.getInstance().stopService();
}
public class OutboundNotification implements IOutboundMessageNotification
{
public void process(AGateway gateway, OutboundMessage msg)
{
System.out.println("Outbound handler called from Gateway: " + gateway.getGatewayId());
System.out.println(msg);
}
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
SendMessage app = new SendMessage();
try
{
app.doIt();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
on executing the line
Service.getInstance().startService();
I get an exception :
org.smslib.GatewayException: Comm library exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: javax.comm.NoSuchPortException at org.smslib.modem.SerialModemDriver.connectPort(SerialModemDriver.java:102) at org.smslib.modem.AModemDriver.connect(AModemDriver.java:114) at org.smslib.modem.ModemGateway.startGateway(ModemGateway.java:189) at org.smslib.Service$1Starter.run(Service.java:277)
Well this had to occur because i don't have a GSM Modem so i have a few questions.
Can i turn my android phone into gsm modem.
What does modem.com4 in SerialModemGateway("modem.com4", "COM4", 9600, "", ""); mean .
I searched a lot on how to turn my phone into a gsm modem but no luck.
for Question#1 : Yes, I think you can do it.
for Question#2 (To get the COM port): Which OS you are using ? for Windows -
If you can not see your cellphones name as a modem in "Phone and Modem", it mean that you can not use your cellphone as a GSM modem.
