Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,

Phone.NUMBER

};

String[] ARGS={String.valueOf(Phone.TYPE_MOBILE)};

final Cursor c=managedQuery(Phone.CONTENT_URI,

PROJECTION, Phone.TYPE+"=?",

ARGS, Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME);

DialogInterface.OnClickListener onSMSClicked=

new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int position) {

c.moveToPosition(position);

noReallySendSMS(c.getString( 2 ));

}

};

new AlertDialog.Builder(this)

.setTitle("Pick a Person")

.setCursor(c, onSMSClicked, Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)

.show();

}

The onSMSClicked listener will find out the phone number for the selected

person (given the clicked-upon cursor position), then call noReallySendSMS()

to create and deliver the SMS message.

Then, add noReallySendSMS() to DetailForm as follows:

private void noReallySendSMS(String phone) {

StringBuilder buf=new StringBuilder("We are going to ");

buf.append(name.getText());

buf.append(" at ");

buf.append(address.getText());

buf.append(" for lunch!");

SmsManager

.getDefault()

.sendTextMessage(phone, null, buf.toString(), null, null);

}

Here, we build up a message, incorporating the name and address from the

EditText widgets. Then, we use SmsManager to send the message to its

desired target.

You will need to add the SEND_SMS permission to your manifest and add

imports for:
