I am trying to create an android app that sends messages, but I can't get permission to do that.
I am using request_permissions to get permission but nothing appears.
I am sending a message with androidhelper_r6 and I will get:
AttributeError: 'Android' object has no attribute '_rpc'.
I don't know if it's because of no permission or to something else.
Python code:
class DemoApplicationApp(MDApp):
def build(self):
self.screen = Builder.load_string(screen_helper)
self.theme_cls.primary_palette = "Blue"
request_permissions([Permission.SEND_SMS, Permission.INTERNET])
return self.screen
def send_message(self):
droid = android.Android()
droid.smsSend("420xxxxxxxxx", "Message")
DemoApplicationApp().run()

# List as sections
#
# You can define all the "list" as [section:key].

# Let's take [app] / source.exclude_patterns.
# Instead of doing:
#
#[app]
#source.exclude_patterns = license,data/audio/*.wav,data/images/original/*
#
# This can be translated into:
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns]
#license
#data/audio/*.wav
#data/images/original/*
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Profiles
#
# You can extend section / key with a profile
# For example, you want to deploy a demo version of your application without
# HD content. You could first change the title to add "(demo)" in the name
# and extend the excluded directories to remove the HD content.
#
#[app@demo]
#title = My Application (demo)
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns@demo]
#images/hd/*
#
# Then, invoke the command line with the "demo" profile:
#
#buildozer --profile demo android debug
