Java code
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.telephony.SmsMessage;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
/* w w w .j a va 2 s.c o m*/
public class SMSReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent){
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
SmsMessage[] msgs = null;
String str = "SMS from ";
if (bundle != null){
Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
msgs = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];
for (int i=0; i<msgs.length; i++){
msgs[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte [])pdus[i]);
if (i==0) {
str += msgs[i].getOriginatingAddress();
str += ": ";
}
str += msgs[i].getMessageBody().toString();
}
Toast.makeText (context, str, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.d("SMSReceiver", str);
}
}
}
Note
Using the DDMS, send a message to the emulator. Your application should be able to receive the message and display it using the Toast class.
