Send and Receive sms through Java in RingCentral - ringcentral

Question

I am quite new to the ringcentral APIs and currently going through all of them.
Currently going through the following reference: https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference/SMS/createSMSMessage
Through Java we can use an API to send SMS, but can we receive a SMS using Java.
Can someone help me in getting the documentation/article or any kind of reference where I can get to know the simple way to send and receive the SMS using Java

Answer 1

A sample send SMS example with Java as follows:
import java.io.IOException;
import com.ringcentral.*;
import com.ringcentral.definitions.*;
public class Send_SMS {
String RECIPIENT_NUMBER = "<ENTER PHONE NUMBER>";
String RINGCENTRAL_CLIENTID = "<ENTER CLIENT ID>";
String RINGCENTRAL_CLIENTSECRET = "<ENTER CLIENT SECRET>";
String RINGCENTRAL_USERNAME = "<YOUR ACCOUNT PHONE NUMBER>";
String RINGCENTRAL_PASSWORD = "<YOUR ACCOUNT PASSWORD>";
String RINGCENTRAL_EXTENSION = "<YOUR EXTENSION, PROBABLY ";
public static void main(String[] args) {
var obj = new Send_SMS();
try {
obj.sendSms();
} catch (RestException | IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void sendSms() throws RestException, IOException{
RestClient rc = new RestClient(RINGCENTRAL_CLIENTID, RINGCENTRAL_CLIENTSECRET, RINGCENTRAL_SERVER);
rc.authorize(RINGCENTRAL_USERNAME, RINGCENTRAL_EXTENSION, RINGCENTRAL_PASSWORD);
CreateSMSMessage postParameters = new CreateSMSMessage();
postParameters.from = new MessageStoreCallerInfoRequest().phoneNumber(RINGCENTRAL_USERNAME);
postParameters.to = new MessageStoreCallerInfoRequest[]{new MessageStoreCallerInfoRequest().phoneNumber(RECIPIENT_NUMBER)};
postParameters.text = "Hello World from Java";
var response = rc.restapi().account().extension().sms().post(postParameters);
System.out.println("SMS sent. Message status: " + response.messageStatus);
}
}
You can download the java SDK from here: https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-java
and start with documentation here: https://developers.ringcentral.com/guide/messaging/quick-start/java
Once you get the library in your application, you can start compiling it and running it.

Here is the official RingCentral Java SDK: https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-java, it is currently 1.0.0-beta9. We are going to release a stable version this month.
Here is a list of all the API calls that you can invoke: https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-java/blob/master/samples.md, including sms sending: https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-java/blob/master/samples.md#create-smsmms-message
For sms receiving, you can use our subscription and notification feature: https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-java#pubnub-subscriptions--notificatioins
So whenever there is new sms, you will be notified, then you can issue api call to get the message.
