Send SMS do something with response

Getting Started Newbie Questions

Hello,

I want to build an app that requires the app to use the device default messaging app to send a SMS message to a specific number. The app needs to wait for a response and store the response in a string for parsing.

I’ve been looking at the Example Send SMS tutorial - I think I can do the send step but can’t find anything on working with the reponse.

Is this even possible? If so can you point me in the right direction or maybe I’m searching using the wrong term.

Thanks

Steve

Generally speaking the phone/device handles incoming text messages and they route to the device’s default messaging app. I know you cannot do this on iOS. It might be possible on Android, but not with Corona SDK. You would need native code to do it, so you would need Corona Enterprise.
