Android RECEIVE_SMS

fletch

I am trying to build my first Android application but have run into difficulty.

I am trying to intercept text messages from a certain number and do something with them...but I can't seem to manage to intercept the SMSs at all....here's the code so far

SMSReceiveActivity.java

package sms.receive.sample;
import android.content.*;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.telephony.*;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class SMSReceiveActivity extends BroadcastReceiver {

private static final String TAG = "Message recieved";

 @Override
 public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {   

     Bundle pudsBundle = intent.getExtras();
     Object[] pdus = (Object[]) pudsBundle.get("pdus");
     SmsMessage messages =SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdus[0]);    
     Log.i(TAG,  messages.getMessageBody());
     Toast.makeText(context, "SMS Received : "+messages.getMessageBody(),
     Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
 }
}

AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="sms.receive.sample"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >    
 <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" /> 
 <application icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" label="@string/app_name">
     <receiver 
         android:name=".SMSReceiveActivity" 
         android:exported="true" 
         android:enabled="true">
         <intent-filter android:priority="999">
             <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" /> 
         </intent-filter>
     </receiver>
</application>
</manifest>

When I send (telnet) an SMS to the AVD, I get the nofication in the drawer but not the Toast. I've tried on my phone too and I get the same....
Any help much appreciated.

Try using the full package name to the receiver rather than just .SMSReceiveActivity. Only had a quick look but everything looks OK with it.

Have you tried on an actual device? I know the emulator can be funny with things like this.

You might want to set your android:priority higher, if you want to intercept the message before other apps do.
