User interface for smart phone

[YuNz88]

Hi everyone. I have zero experience in programming and looking for somewhere to start

1st Q. How can i create an UI that have some buttons to send out a pre-made SMS command.

2nd Q. Is it possible to detect specific word after receiving a SMS and an indicator will light up in the UI. Example "Gas is detected" and when the keyword gas is found the indicator will light up.

Thank you!

Hi there,
May I know the mobile platform you are developing on?
Android, iOS, Windows phone or hybrid?
It would be easier for the users here to assist you if we know the platform you are developing on.

For the sending of SMS in Android development.

When you receive your SMS, you can use text manipulation to search whether your specific word has appear in the SMS. If the specific word appears in your SMS, you can call a self-written function to trigger the indicator to light up in your UI.

Hope it helps.
