Need help with app that sends commands using sms

MonDieu72

Hello!
I´m completely new to gideros and need some help. I want to make an app that sends predefined commands to a remotely controlled gate system using sms. It needs 4 buttons that work in pairs of 2 (open and close) for the inner and outer gate. Once a "open" button is clicked it should stay "lit" and not be usable until the corresponding "close" button has been clicked and activated (lit). Can this be done with gideros? I´m not asking for someone to make the app for me just tell me where I can find the info/tutorial I need to learn to make my app.

Thanks

Out of the box, you can communicate with HTTP based API's and also make all sorts of socket connections, but there is no sending SMS functionality right now (if I understand the correctly). At least not out of the box, but probably can be achieved through plugins.

About buttons, well there does not seem to be anything impossible there.
There is a Button class and also a Button example provided with Gideros Mobile. The buttons there have two states up and down, so with little modification to the Button class, you could achieve the result you want

Thanks for the reply The design and buttons functionality went smoothly to manage but the sending sms part was alot trickier, so for this app (since I have a deadline tomorrow for it) I went to the MIT App Inventor and had the whole thing done in 2 hours. I´ll continue to learn gideros by making small games from here on.

Thanks again.
