Simulating SMS on Android Devices when developing

Question

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 emu

Answer 1

Indeed, it is quite easy with Android emulator to simulate an incoming sms,there are loads of tutorials for that for example: 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. Using the Command line is only for emulator purposes. Though you could try to find the port on which your phone is connected and use the procedure with telnet to test it.
