Java

Overview

Used for server applications and mobile development. After signing up, use this Java library to build into your system. You can use this Java library with our HTTP or REST messaging APIs to interact with the Clickatell SMS Gateway. The Java library below allows you to send one- or two-way SMS messages using Clickatell’s SMS Platform.

You can see our other libraries and more documentation at the Clickatell APIs and Libraries Project.

Usage

Copy the class files directly into your project and reference the JSON-simple-1.1.1.jar library. Then use as described below.

To initialize:

ClickatellHttp click = new ClickatellHttp(USERNAME, APIID, PASSWORD);

ClickatellRest clickRest = new ClickatellRest(API_KEY);

To send one message:

ClickatellHttp.Message response = click.sendMessage("27821234567",
                    "Hello, this is a test message!");
ClickatellRest.Message response = clickRest.sendMessage("27821234567",
                    "Hello, this is a test message!");

To get the status of a message:

int status = click.getMessageStatus("b305c3445e37626ffabb21edc9320e1e");

To get the cost of a message:

ClickatellHttp.Message reply = click.getMessageCharge("b305c3445e37626ffabb21edc9320e1e");
System.out.println("Charge: " + reply.charge);
System.out.println("Status: " + reply.status);

To get the cost and status of the message in REST:

ClickatellRest.Message msg = clickRest.getMessageStatus(response.message_id);
System.out.println("ID:" + msg.message_id);
System.out.println("Status:" + msg.status);
System.out.println("Status Description:" + msg.statusString);
System.out.println("Charge:" + msg.charge);

To do a coverage check:

double reply = click.getCoverage("27820909090");

To do a message stop request:

click.stopMessage("b305c3445e37626ffabb21edc9320e1e");

To check your balance:

double balance = click.getBalance();
