There is no official Bug-Tracking-System yet, but on my Bugs posting them to the GoogleGroups and hoping a moderator would see them was fine ^^.

Hi guys,

May be you know, i have the common question about Android notifications.
For example if i have 2 applications which wants to recieve incoming SMS notification.
What application executed first?

I code we wrote:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

/* Consume this intent, that no other application will notice it. */
 
               this.abortBroadcast();
Parsed in 0.029 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

How i can be shure that first(for instance) application will get notification instead of second.

Thanks!!!

PS
This question comes from simple example. If i have a phone with default Messaging client, and additionaly download and install alternative Messaging application, which one will work????

Hello Alexey,

I had questioned that myself and wrote down what the system does :src: here (similar case, when making a DIAL-Replacer).

Basically the system will ask the user which one he/she wants to be started (at this time, the system does not remember the user choice and asks always again).

Hope this helped you.

So has anybody figured out how to pass system messages between phones without spamming the SMS or XMPP inbox?

Hi GodsMoon,
what's mean "system messages"?
U see, any phone has a service(GSM or CDMA or any other). And phones can communicant using SMS messages or though internet connection. Actually you can use another methods - wifi, bluethooth and etc.
But this is just a transport layer for your application. I'm confusing about SYSTEM messages? Could give a details.

I'm talking about the "P2P Services Using XMPP" section from http://code.google.com/android/toolbox/google-apis.html

apparently you can intercept sms messages so the user doesn't see them, but that usually cost money. (though I'm not sure how to do that). Anyway, I would like to send messages back and forth between phones without alerting the user every time I receive a new message from the other phone. Can you do this with XMPP? The link above doesn't really say...

Has anybody done this without a 3rd party server?

thanks

Hi plusminus,

Thanks for your tutorial. I have actually successfuly stored incoming sms' using the right content provider . I will post the code but now I'm posting from a computer where i do not have this code . The sms' are correctly stored into the database (I was able to browse the records through the sqlite console in adb). However , retrieving sms' is not possible , as you have told on the google android group. We are facing a bug (Class cast exception with the cursor class). I tried to up the post but no one is reacting on it.

I really need this functionality so i'm about to rewrite an home-made content provider in order to retrieve sms' from the database. Other solution is to write an sqlLite class but not so nice because we are not using a content provider. Last solution, is that this bug will be resolved in the newt release of the SDK.

Hello sebi,

i hope the bug will be fixed with the next SDK-update (we are already waiting 6 weeks for an update

).
Doing sth on our own will/should definitely get replaced later by some code from the Google-Guys, just for compatibility to other apps.

But i would really appreciate you posting your code/halfworkaround to anddev

Best Regards,
plusminus

well, that's the code to store an message into the database. please note that it is incomplete as it only store the body of the message but storing a complete message is just a matter of completing your cotentValue object.

I added this code inside the for loop of the SmsReceiver class :

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
 
                        contentValues.put(android.provider.Telephony.Sms.BODY, currentMessage.getDisplayMessageBody());
 
 ContentURI uri =context.getContentResolver().insert(android.provider.Telephony.Sms.CONTENT_URI, contentValues);
 
Parsed in 0.032 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

That's it, quite simple :-)

.

I cannot post yet my code for retrieving sms cause for the moment it's only exist in my head ;-)

and i've to find some time to implement (I will made an highly use of the notepad provider sample)

Hello guys,

After I updated to m5-rc14, SMS ReceiveIntent not working any more. I changed android:value to android:name from AndroidManufest.xml.

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
        <receiver class=".SMSReceiver">
 
            <intent-filter>
 
                <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
 
            </intent-filter>
 
        </receiver>
 
Parsed in 0.034 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Put a break point in onReceiveIntent but nothing happen . Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks
puyopuy

Hello puyopuy,

you also have to change:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

        <receiver class=".SMSReceiver">
 
<!-- Change to -->
 
        <receiver android:name=".SMSReceiver">
Parsed in 0.001 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Your project should not have compiled with the code you wrote.

(untested)

plusminus

puyopuy · by **puyopuy** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 2:31 pm

Sorry, I must paste the old source code. My actual code already changed and I can compile and running in the emulator.

I also realized I cannot select SMS_RECEIVED from the action attributes drop down. Please see my attached image.
