I found this project library on Github and I don't know how to go about actually using it. Could some one with experience please help me understand how to use it?

1) Download the API to your computer
2) Open Android Studio. Open the project where you want to use this API library
In my case I've opened the fun facts project
3) Click on File -> New Module -> from the list select Import Existing Project -> Click Next
4) Browse to the folder android-smsmms-master and click Choose ..... Finally click Finish
5) The API will be added to in your current project and the gradle will update
6) Once done go to File -> Project Structure
In the project structure window under **Modules¨¨ in the left and select the current project not the API project you imported
7) Click the + icon below
8) Choose Module Dependancy
9) In the module dependancy window the API that your uploaded i.e. android-smsmms-master will be listed. Select that and click Ok
10) Now your API will be listed under dependancies. Click Apply and then click Ok
11) Gradle will sync and you are all set to use it.
12) For usage check notes on GitHub.
Hope this helps. Ask again if you need help

Courses Plus Student 13,077 PointsThanks a lot Gunjeet but I think a phrased my question wrong. I already did the steps you have suggested, the problem is actually using the library for it's intended purpose. It's for sending sms and MMS but I don't actually understand how to use it. I'm experimenting and debugging things right now but still a little confused.

14,483 PointsOh thats alright. In fact I did try out the API functionality as well and integrated that with my FunFacts App. So each time a user finds a fact interesting he can send it as an SMS using Google voice (running over a proxy) . Given I'm in France at the moment and Google voice isn't currently available here, I couldn't really try most of the features
Traveling at the moment but will send you the code with comments, which could help you get a hold on this API to some extent
