Messaging
API that allows message sending and retrieval.
WAC 2.0 – The Messaging module
- Appspresso provides project.xml that can describe platform neutral meta information, instead of config.xml, in order to develop Android and iOS application as well as WAC widget. When the application developed by Appspresso is released as WAC widget, Appspresso SDK automatically generates config.xml file on the basis of project.xml file and includes it in WAC widget.
- Appspresso present version 1.0 RC supports only TYPE_SMS.
- In Appspresso present version 1.0 RC, only SMS messages can be generated and sent.
In iOS’s case, because it is not allowed that individual application sends SMS directly, iOS runtime calls sendMessage function, executes iOS’s built-in message application and fills in automatically the content of message object which was delivered as a parameter. It is a final user’s option afterward to check if the message was actually sent out.
In Android runtime’s case, you send SMS directly but the sent message is not stored. Therefore the sent message cannot be searched later. This is because each Android terminal has a different characteristic. Because you don’t know what characteristics can be found in future Android terminals, it is suggested not to use them if possible.
