SendContact is a simple app that allows you to send the primary phone number of any contact on your android phone as an SMS.
This was built for two reasons:
- Android's default Contacts Manager doesnt have this feature and its a useful one.
- To learn android development.
- Widgetize the app
- Beautify the app
- I went through a phase of expecting to be able to add a new menu item to the existing contact manager's context menu, which is reflected in the original version of the architecture document
- For the most part, the code follows the BusinessCard example from the Android Documentation
- The SMS sending code is essentially taken from Mobiforge
- I used the free online book Learning Android to get the basics right. Highly recommended.
