Flutter SMS :
Flutter Sms is a short message service as you are all aware of it so let’s get into the tutorial, we will try to send a sms in this part of the tutorial.
Flutter provides the same code base for android & iOS so this tutorial makes you send sms in both android and iOS devices.
We provide a interface for sending sms where we provide recipients numbers and message.
Some times we need to send a sms on completing a certain task from app providing the status of the task as a part of security mostly regarding banking apps we can find these alerts.
Now a days while using UPI payments a sms will be sent to confirm the user bank account details by sending a sms from mobile phone.
Also when you are trying to make a online transaction banks will send a otp to customer device so that if it’s a legitimate transaction user can enter this otp and go ahead with transaction.
Can go through the below tutorial for detailed instructions on flutter sms implementation.
Flutter SMS Video Tutorial:
main.dart :
Initialize with void main()
void main(){
runApp(MyApp());
}
We have considered a default class MyApp extending a stateless widget return Home class.
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Home(),
);
}
}
We are providing a list of numbers using this list we can send sms to all these numbers at once.
List<String> recipents = ["9876543210", "8765432190"];
Inside a Scaffold declare a app bar and provide title with text widget for flutter sms.
Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: Text("Send sms to multiple"),),
),
Provide a button for user to tap on to open default messaging app and provide the message and recipient number’s
RaisedButton( color: Theme.of(context).accentColor, padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 16), ),
Provide text for the button for user to understand
child: Text("Send Sms",
style: Theme.of(context).accentTextTheme.button),
Create a method for accepting numbers and message and then create a async method and wait for the result providing await and listen to resilt.
void _sendSMS(String message, List<String> recipents) async {
String _result = await sendSMS(message: message, recipients: recipents)
.catchError((onError) {
print(onError);
});
print(_result);
}
On pressed the button pass the parameters to the sendSms method
onPressed: () {
_sendSMS("This is a test message!", recipents);
},
FullCode :
Providing the full code below for sending flutter sms through the app.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_sms/flutter_sms.dart';
void main(){
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Home(),
);
}
}
List<String> recipents = ["9876543210", "8765432190"];
class Home extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: Text("Send sms to multiple"),),
body: Container(
child: Center(
child: Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
child: RaisedButton(
color: Theme.of(context).accentColor,
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 16),
child: Text("Send Sms",
style: Theme.of(context).accentTextTheme.button),
onPressed: () {
_sendSMS("This is a test message!", recipents);
},
),
),
),
),
);
}
}
void _sendSMS(String message, List<String> recipents) async {
String _result = await sendSMS(message: message, recipients: recipents)
.catchError((onError) {
print(onError);
});
print(_result);
}
