@paul How can it depend on country/lang/encoding? You misunderstood my ques as I previously said?
I am not asking how the SMS is sending text . I just want to know about the limitation of sending text to SMS application through Intent.ACTION_SEND. [Say as you are invoking the SMS application and sending some text. SO I want to know that limitation not what you are talking about] Thanks, AJ On Mar 23, 3:58 pm, Tobias Eisentraeger <[email protected]> wrote: > AJ, i feel your pain :o) > Just let it go. > > On Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 2:44 PM, paul zazzarino < > > [email protected]> wrote: > > There is *no set answer* on this !
