Forum | Appery.io

Hello Hamed.

sending and receiving message is not very special for an android app

Yes, for native app is not very special, but challenging for hybrid app, because InAppBrowser, which Appery.io platform based on, doesn't provide any functionality to work with sms, thus plugin integration is the only way.

Alena told me that its debugging and it's out of our scope

According to current support's policy http://devcenter.appery.io/support-po... , it is something outside of the scope, but even if we could help you, one developer needs at least several hours to integrate plugin into Appery.io project for one OS(iOS, Android, etc.).
Imagine how many people would like to integrate plugins for their projects.

I am not sure is it possible or not in appery
If you found a phonegap plugin that helps reading sms, then this is possible,but you need to use it as it is, or find another one, we can't guaranty plugin's serviceability.

hi Egor,
thanks for your answer ...
in appery pre-installed plugin, there is plugins for contacts,for battery status, for camera and other important things... i try to say a plugin for sms services has equally importance like other things...even for appery services and hybrid app.

but you are right and i accept this....

two more question....

1)some of plugins like this :
http://plugins.cordova.io/#/package/c...

needs cordova CLI for installation... is it possible to install these plugins in appery?there is no .java and .js files!!

2)if i can't install plugin and get errors...it's my wrong ? or appery have problem or plugin have?
how can i be sure where is the problem?

i try to say a plugin for sms services has equally importance like other things

Unfortunately, management decides when to integrate another plugin, but you can influence by simply saying it.

needs cordova CLI for installation
This is just command for cordova.
To install plugin correctly you need to merge all plugin's files content in Appery.io project, sometimes plugins has simplest structure, comparing to how it will look in Appery.io project, and sometimes different.

if i can't install plugin and get errors
In most cases if you have next messages in weinre:
"Deviceready has not fired after 5 seconds"
this means you haven't integrated plugin right.
If you can't build your app(error message), then:
1) plugin needs library that is not supported by Appery.io package, linker, etc.
2) you have made a mistake in the code.

NOTE: Don't forget that changing any files on source tab will leave your project without support(see support-policy in prev. reply)

it means that if i get error when i try to build app, all scenarios are possible!
ok thanks Egor...

the last question:
is it possible to send sms (without showing message dialoge) and receive it, then reed the message and show words in the message separately -- with twillio ?

Hello Hamed,

Most likely Twillio hasn't such functionality. You should send this request to Twillio support or search for another phonegap plugin.

hello Evgene and thank u!
