android-smsmms Failed to send MMS under some Android device

How are you?

I tried to send MMS on 2 type of Android devices.

Succeed to send MMS under first Android device(Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Android 4.3, Possible to get phone number, SIM with China Mobile).

Failed to send MMS under secondary Android device(Nexus 5, Android 4.4, Impossible to get phone number, SIM with China Unicom).

Here are the log against the failed message sent to mms.

Hi

I am getting the same exception on nexus 5. Did you get any workaround for this?

Thanks, Anshul

Is your app the default messaging app for android 4.4 ?

Mar 12 '14 09:03 fatruc

Yes, its the default messaging app i.e google+.

Mar 12 '14 09:03 alchemistgo87

Well, i d'ont think that google+ on nexus 5 do use this library.

Mar 12 '14 09:03 fatruc

Then how should i send mms using this library in my app?

Mar 12 '14 09:03 alchemistgo87

Is your app working with android < 4.4

To insert/update/delete data from messaging content provider on android 4.4, you're app must be the default messaging application:

take a lok at this: http://android-developers.blogspot.fr/2013/10/getting-your-sms-apps-ready-for-kitkat.html

Mar 12 '14 09:03 fatruc

Have not tested with <4.4 yet. Will check it out. Actually i just need to add the functionality of sending an mms, nothing else. So I guess there is no use making it a default app for sms.

Mar 12 '14 10:03 alchemistgo87

I think that this library is made to build messaging application. Maybe you can use intents just to send sms via default application ? I never tried.

Take a look at this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20079047/android-kitkat-4-4-hangouts-cannot-handle-sending-sms-intent

Set this app to be default SMS App to solve my problem. (How to set default SMS app: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/manage-default-sms-app-on-android-4-4-kitkat/)

so sorry to bring this back to life, but i'm curious if there is a way to send MMS in the background but NOT be the default app? The library works, as noted above, when set to be the default app, but i'm looking to get a true background experience that can hand this library MMS criteria, and move onward
