I am using the below code to send SMS to an Android mobile. But if I send the SMS to any number it's not being sent. What could be the issue?

    Button btnSendSMS;

    EditText txtMessage;

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        btnSendSMS = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSendSMS);
        txtPhoneNo = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtPhoneNo);
        txtMessage = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtMessage);

        btnSendSMS.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()

            public void onClick(View v)
            {
                String phoneNo = txtPhoneNo.getText().toString();
                String message = txtMessage.getText().toString();
                if (phoneNo.length()>0 && message.length()>0)
                    sendSMS(phoneNo, message);

I really don't get why would you nest the sendSMS method anyway - the code works for me. Try checking if you got the

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"></uses-permission>

permission set in your file and try this code instead:

package SMSApp.com;

import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentFilter;

import android.telephony.SmsManager;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class SMS extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */

    Button btnSendSMS;
    EditText txtPhoneNo;
    EditText txtMessage;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        btnSendSMS = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSendSMS);
        txtPhoneNo = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtPhoneNo);
        txtMessage = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtMessage);

        btnSendSMS.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
        {
            public void onClick(View v)
            {
                String phoneNo = txtPhoneNo.getText().toString();
                String message = txtMessage.getText().toString();

If everything is fine (code, permissions in the manifest file), open two emulator windows (they will be something like 5554:TestDevice1 and 5556:TestDevice1).

Now, if you are installing your application to 5554, send a message to 5556 and check in another emulator.
