SMSLib example for interactive USSD session - ussd

Question

I have a USSD application that provides an interactive session for users, for example:
User> Dial USSD Shortcode
Serv> Return Main Menu
User> Select Option 1, e.g. "View Movie Times"
Serv> Return List of Cities
User> Select Option 3, e.g. Mumbai
Serv> Return List of Cinemas
User> etc ...
I would like to test the USSD Server by using SMSLib to simulate the user.
Are there any example SMSLib code snippets that show how to perform an interactive USSD session with a USSD server?

Answer 1

The code at this link gives an example of sending and receiving USSD data using smslib:
// SendUSSD.java - Sample application.
//
// This application shows you the basic procedure for sending messages.
// You will find how to send synchronous and asynchronous messages.
//
// For asynchronous dispatch, the example application sets a callback
// notification, to see what's happened with messages.
