Key Takeaways

  • Send SMS with Java on an Android gateway is java.net.http / OkHttp REST HTTPS JSON — not a “Complete Java SDK” on Maven Central from us.
  • Confirm live paths in Developer Center. HTTP 2xx is accepted, not delivered.
  • Keys in env/vault on the server JVM — never in a mobile APK you also ship.
  • Stable Idempotency-Key on retry. Isolate OTP deviceIds.
  • You bring the Android and operator SMS credit. We meter devices and send volume.

HttpClient, not a Maven SDK

Send SMS with Java Android gateway in depth: server-side POST of JSON, Bearer auth, timeouts, and DLR join. Hub: Android SMS gateway API. Sibling recipe: Java send SMS. Live fields: Developer Center.

If your README says “install the Complete Java SDK,” you branded a package we do not ship.
JSON moving from JVM to phoneJVM
Braces are JSON, not a vendor JAR.

REST HTTPS/JSON only

OkHttp or java.net.http — the contract is the HTTP envelope. Cousins: PHP HTTPS/JSON, C# HTTPS/JSON. External: Java HttpClient intro.

Send duties

JVM client vs radio
StepJava ownsRadio reality
POSTAuth, JSON body, timeout, Idempotency-KeyJob may queue if phone busy
ResponsePersist id before UX successAccept ≠ handset receipt
DLRWebhook/poll mapperCarrier may delay or omit DLR

OTP and bulk notes

Isolate OTP: OTP verification. Pace bulk; one SIM is not an ESP — bulk SMS.

Cost

Devices plus SMS send volume. Operator airtime is yours. Retries still debit the SIM. Free: 1 device / 300 SMS lifetime. Developer: 25,000 SMS/year. Starter / Professional / Business uncap platform volume with device caps 2 / 5 / 15; carrier fair-use still applies. Starter, Professional, and Business list Unlimited SMS as platform send volume; that is not unmetered carrier SMS.

Checklist

  • Server-side key only; timeouts mandatory.
  • Idempotency-Key stable on retry.
  • Persist id; DLR path tested.
  • OTP deviceIds isolated.
  • Developer Center confirmed — no invented paths.
