This post is about using SMS API to send SMS text to mobile from an Oracle ADF application
there are various SMS Gateway to send SMS using java and all java API's can be used with Oracle ADF
here i am using sms horizon (a bulk sms provider in india) see this SMS API integration with Java and Oracle ADF, follow the steps
First create an account with SMS Horizon -
http://www.smshorizon.in/ or
User Login- SMS Horizon
you can purchase a trial package to test your code, they provide 200 sms for Rs 25 only. So After purchasing trial pack you will get and API Key and username
Login to your account and see your dashboard-
you will see your API key in this type of box-
Now first step is complete and second and last step is implement code in your managed bean
you can find Sample API files (code to use API in Java, C#, PHP etc) from there
So for this i have a created a Fusion Web Application and a page in it
created a managed bean and actionListener for this
Send button
this url is used to send sms and it returns msgId of sent message
http://smshorizon.co.in/api/sendsms.php?user=******&apikey=*****8&mobile=xxyy&message=xxyy&senderid=xxyy&type=txt
See the ActionListener code -
/**Method to send SMS using SMS Horizon API
* @param actionEvent
*/
public void sendSMSAction(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
// get mobile number value using component binding
if (mobNoBind.getValue() != null) {
// Replace with your username
String user = "userId";
// Replace with your API KEY (We have sent API KEY on activation email, also available on panel)
String apikey = "your_api_key";
// Replace with the destination mobile Number to which you want to send sms
String mobile = mobNoBind.getValue().toString();
// Replace if you have your own Sender ID, else donot change
String senderid = "WEBSMS";
// Replace with your Message content
String message = "SMS API -Oracle ADF";
// For Plain Text, use "txt" ; for Unicode symbols or regional Languages like hindi/tamil/kannada use "uni"
String type = "txt";
//Prepare Url
URLConnection myURLConnection = null;
URL myURL = null;
BufferedReader reader = null;
//encoding message
String encoded_message = URLEncoder.encode(message);
//Send SMS API
String mainUrl = "http://smshorizon.co.in/api/sendsms.php?";
//Prepare parameter string
StringBuilder sbPostData = new StringBuilder(mainUrl);
sbPostData.append("user=" + user);
sbPostData.append("&apikey=" + apikey);
sbPostData.append("&message=" + encoded_message);
sbPostData.append("&mobile=" + mobile);
sbPostData.append("&senderid=" + senderid);
sbPostData.append("&type=" + type);
//final string
mainUrl = sbPostData.toString();
System.out.println("URL to Send SMS-" + mainUrl);
try {
//prepare connection
myURL = new URL(mainUrl);
myURLConnection = myURL.openConnection();
myURLConnection.connect();
reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(myURLConnection.getInputStream()));
//reading response
String response;
while ((response = reader.readLine()) != null) {
//print response
System.out.println(response);
}
System.out.println(response);
//finally close connection
reader.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
public void setMobNoBind(RichInputText mobNoBind) {
this.mobNoBind = mobNoBind;
}
public RichInputText getMobNoBind() {
return mobNoBind;
}
you can check status of each SMS in your account that it is delivered of not, other than this you can also check status of msg in your code also using this url
http://smshorizon.co.in/api/status.php?user=*****&apikey=*********&msgid=xxyy
pass msgId returned from previous url and it will return you status of message as- PENDING , DELIVERED etc
see imports used in code-
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
import java.net.URLEncoder;
import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.input.RichInputText;
