    @Mikeeeeee Take a look at https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qandroidjniobject.html

      Will this option work, or should we do it differently?

          QAndroidJniObject testSms;
          testSms.callMethod< jint > ("createAppSpecificSmsTokenWithPackageInfo(32133)");

            @Mikeeeeee

                QAndroidJniObject testSms;
                testSms.callMethod< jint > ("createAppSpecificSmsTokenWithPackageInfo(32133)");
            

            With the warning that I know absolutely nothing about this:

            You are using the overload https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qandroidjniobject.html#callMethod, callMethod(const char *methodName). It may well be that methodName has to be a method name, "createAppSpecificSmsTokenWithPackageInfo(32133)" is a full function call. You may have to use overload https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qandroidjniobject.html#callMethod-1, callMethod(const char *methodName, const char *sig, ...), and specify the function signature and pass 32133 as parameter, in order to call functions with parameters?

            Have you/can you test if you can call a method which does not take any parameters, does that work OK?

              The SmsManager class has a getcarrierconfigvalues() function without an argument.
              This code also generates an error:

                  QAndroidJniObject testSms;
                  testSms.callMethod< jint > ("getCarrierConfigValues()");

                    @Mikeeeeee Does it crash when

                    testSms.callMethod< jint > ("getCarrierConfigValues()");
                    

                    is executed?
                    Also consider that some APIs require your app to request access rights from the user.

                      @Mikeeeeee If you remove all the "SMS sending" stuff from your source code, does it compile and can you start it on your device (or emulator) ?

                        @Mikeeeeee When you have a working Qt Android App, adding SMS sending support is not that compilcated.

                        1. ensure Android Extras are enabled (in pro file, add android: QT += androidextras)
                        2. ensure you have add required permission in AndroidManifest.xml (android.permission.SEND_SMS )
                        3. Add following code to the class you want to use to send SMS, for example JniHandler:
                        #include <QtAndroid>
                        #include <QAndroidJniObject>
                        #include <QtAndroidExtras/QAndroidJniObject>
                        #include <QtAndroidExtras/QAndroidJniEnvironment>
                        #include <jni.h>
                        ...
                        
                        void JniHandler::sendSMS(const QString& phoneNumber, const QString& message)
                        {
                            QtAndroid::runOnAndroidThreadSync([phoneNumber, message]  {
                                // get the Qt android activity
                                QAndroidJniObject activity = QtAndroid::androidActivity();
                                if (activity.isValid()){
                                    // get the default SmsManager
                                    QAndroidJniObject mySmsManager = QAndroidJniObject::callStaticObjectMethod("android/telephony/SmsManager",
                                                                                                               "getDefault",
                                                                                                               "()Landroid/telephony/SmsManager;" );
                                    // get phone number & text from UI and convert to Java String
                                    QAndroidJniObject myPhoneNumber = QAndroidJniObject::fromString(phoneNumber);
                                    QAndroidJniObject myTextMessage = QAndroidJniObject::fromString(message);
                                    QAndroidJniObject scAddress = NULL;
                                    QAndroidJniObject sentIntent = NULL;
                                    QAndroidJniObject deliveryIntent = NULL;
                                
                                    // call the java function:
                                    // public void SmsManager.sendTextMessage(String destinationAddress,
                                    //                                        String scAddress, String text,
                                    //                                        PendingIntent sentIntent, PendingIntent deliveryIntent)
                                    // see: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/SmsManager.html
                                
                                    mySmsManager.callMethod<void>("sendTextMessage",
                                                                  "(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Landroid/app/PendingIntent;Landroid/app/PendingIntent;)V",
                                                                   myPhoneNumber.object<jstring>(),
                                                                   scAddress.object<jstring>(),
                                                                   myTextMessage.object<jstring>(), NULL, NULL );
                                
                                      }
                                else {
                                    qDebug() << "Something wrong with Qt activity...";
                                }
                            }
                        }
                        

                        This should do the job.

                            No, it must be added into the manifest (AndroidManifest.xml) ==> editing-manifest-files

                              Void MainWindow::sendSMS is missing ")". Added so and still not working. What's right?

                                Void MainWindow::sendSMS is missing ")". Added so and still not working. What's right?

                                void MainWindow::sendSMS(const QString& phoneNumber, const QString& message)
                                {

                                        if (activity.isValid()){

                                @Mikeeeeee What do you mean with "not working"? Do you have an error message? Is there an application crash?

                                Just say "not working" does not give any information to help you!

                                PS: Sorry for the missed parenthese

                                    That's also not helpful, we can not see what you are doing, if you want help, than you must explain what is the problem and what is your development environment/settings:

                                    • which Qt Kit are you using to build your project? (for example Android for armeabi-v7a (Clang Qt 5.7.1 for Android armv7)
                                    • which Qt Creator Version you are using
                                    • what is your target device? It is a smartphone, a tablet or an emulator?
                                    • what Android version are you targeting?
                                    • when does the application crash? When you starting the application or when you try to send a SMS?

                                    You give nothing to enable us to help you, this is all up to you.

                                    Last, but not least, is your device capable to send SMS?

                                        The SmsManager class has a getcarrierconfigvalues() function without an argument.
                                        This code also generates an error:

                                            QAndroidJniObject testSms;
                                            testSms.callMethod< jint > ("getCarrierConfigValues()");

                                        Have only just seen this. As I said, and as the documentation states, the argument is supposed (according to my understanding) to be a method name, so getCarrierConfigValues and not getCarrierConfigValues(), or any such with parentheses. I don't know where you are in your investigations, but did you at least try something like that once? If you have gotten further through since then, you may ignore.
