How to send Google Maps location by SMS

Question

how do I assign a variable LocationManager in the text string of SMSManager? I want to send the sms with coordinates as text message.

private LocationManager lm; private LocationListener locationListener;

    lm = (LocationManager) 
            getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

        locationListener = new MyLocationListener();   

        lm.requestLocationUpdates(
                LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 
             0, 
             0, 
            locationListener);
        lm.requestLocationUpdates(

            LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 
            0, 
            0, 
            locationListener);


btnSendSMS = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSendSMS);
    btnSendSMS.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {


        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            sendSMS("55565", "coords" );

        }
    });



 private void sendSMS(String phoneNumber, String message) {

    SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
    sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, message, null, null);
    }

This Was my code to send current location through email and sms Hope it helps :) modify it according to your need

final LocationManager mlocManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

    final LocationListener mlocListener = new MyLocationListener();

    final Location location = mlocManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
    updateWithNewLocation(location);
    mlocManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, mlocListener);
    mc=mapview.getController();
    mc.setZoom(18);
    mlo=new MyLocationOverlay(this,mapview);
    mapview.getOverlays().add(mlo);
    mapview.invalidate();   
    }




    public class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener

    {

    public void onLocationChanged(final Location location)
    {
        updateWithNewLocation(location);
    }
    public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    }

    private void updateWithNewLocation(final Location location)
    {
    mapview=(MapView) findViewById(R.id.map);
    String latLongString;
    TextView myLocationText;
    myLocationText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text);
    String addressString = "No address found";

    if ( location != null )
    {
    final double lat = location.getLatitude();
    final double lng = location.getLongitude();

    latLongString = "Lat:" + lat + "\nLong:" + lng;
    final double latitude = location.getLatitude();
    final double longitude = location.getLongitude();
    final Geocoder gc = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());

    final GeoPoint myLocation = new GeoPoint((int)(lat * 1000000), (int)(lng * 1000000));
    mapview.getController().animateTo(myLocation);
    mapview.getController().setCenter(myLocation);


    try
    {
    final List<Address> addresses = gc.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 4);
    final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    if ( addresses.size() > 0 )
    {
        final Address address = addresses.get(0);
        for ( int i = 0; i < address.getMaxAddressLineIndex(); i++ )
        {
            sb.append(address.getAddressLine(i)).append("\n");
        }
        sb.append(address.getLocality()).append("\n");
        sb.append(address.getPostalCode()).append("\n");
        sb.append(address.getCountryName());
    }
    addressString = sb.toString();
    }
    catch ( final IOException e )
    {
    }
    }
    else
    {
    latLongString = "No location found";
    }
    myLocationText.setText("Your Current Position is:\n" +
    latLongString + "\n" + addressString);


    }
