SMS API's

[mattleibow]

A simple API to send an SMS.

static class Sms {
    // whether or not the device can open a compose dialog
    static bool IsComposeSupported { get; }

    // whether or not the device can send in the background
    static bool IsSendSupported { get; }

    // open the compose window, throw if not supported
    static Task ComposeAsync(SmsMessage message);

    // send a message in the background, throw if not supported
    // this is supported only on Android and UWP
    static Task SendAsync(SmsMessage message);
}

class SmsMessage {
    SmsMessage(string body, string recipient);

    string Body { get; set; }
    string Recipient { get; set; }
}

For the discussion around exceptions, see #19

What about Multi-SIM card support? It is pretty common situation on Android platform.
Should it be supported as a separate prop on droid side?

oh yeah now i see. might wanna move the "up for grabs" then cause i thought i could pick this one up

After some more discussion (which is always good) we have decided to try another approach - copying the style of emails: #27

[jamesmontemagno]

Looks perfect. Should it be "body" or "message", should be consistent.

[mattleibow]

I used "body" as the type is the message. This is what email does.
I was thinking var message = new SmsMessage() and then message.Message is a bit weird.

[jamesmontemagno]

ahhhh, yeah makes sense. I think the method's properties should match :)

[jamesmontemagno]

oh wait
nm. ignore me
