Hi all,

First of all, excuse me for my english...
In my application, I've created an sms receiver thanks to this tutorial. It works well.

My problem is to check if my application is launched when I receipt an SMS, and :
If it is launched I want to call a method of my activity to refresh the view.
If not, I want to launch this activity.

I really need help.

I searched solution on forums but didn't found anything maybe due to the wrong keyword.
In advance thanks.

Yes, I think you can.
But I don't know how to do so exactly.
I just found an example, android-smspopup, which can do so.
There is a class in it, named net.everythingandroid.smspopup.SMSPopupUtils, which would be a great start point for you to clarify what you are wondering.
http://code.google.com/p/android-smspop ... Utils.java
The essential way is to use android.content.ContentResolver to access the content model by the URI of the SMS message.
I'm studying it, and will update you as soon as I get it.

I am not able to import the package android.provider.Telephony. When I type in Eclipse, android.provider. , it doesnt show Telephony in the suggested classes list.

Due to this, I am not able to use Telephony.Sms.Intents.getMessagesFromIntent either. I am using SDK version 1.5.

How to get rid of this problem ?

Is it possible to retrieve the "_id" or "threadid" from messages in an onReceive-function?

my application involves creating a session for 2 emulators where one is authenticated using the data in the other emulator.once done the data is shared between the emulators through messages.after the data is exchanged the session is cancelled.the question is how do i approach this problem in android using sessions?

i have an arraylist of strings that which i need to send it through sms .

al=arg1.getStringArrayListExtra("als");
SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
Iterator itr=al.iterator();

while(itr.hasNext())
str=str+(String) itr.next();
System.out.println("length of the arraylist:"+str.length());
al=sms.divideMessage(str);

sms.sendMultipartTextMessage("5556", null, al, null, null);
i get junk characters in the emulator on recieving the messages.what should i do to solve the problem?
the whole issue is in sending a long string? ;
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi +- and Anddev community,

Like many I am new to Android. I just have a question about the fundamentals of an application that maybe one of you can answer for me.

Broadcast Receivers "die" once used correct? Does this mean that if I want to continuously have a phone listen for an incoming SMS and act upon it, that I need to create a service because it runs indefinitely, and have it register a broadcast receiver? That way whenever a SMS comes in my service will always be running and the broadcast receiver can trigger an intent to another service that reacts to an incoming SMS?

I'm just confused on the logic here an before I start writing code, I want to make sure I got the fundamentals of my application down.

Thanks a lot for reading this, I appreciate it regardless of a response.

As far as I know you don't have to create a service since Android sends a broadcast and checks all registered broadcast receivers if there is one that can handle it (in this case: reacting on an incoming SMS). Once a suitable application is found, it is started automatically so your program does not have to run continuously.

Please correct me if I am wrong here.

I am about to develop a SMS Firewall app during my internship in a company.

SMS Firewall, as the name suggests, prevents users from receiving spam SMS messages, making them totally unaware of the incoming of such messages.

Along the way I meet many technical problems.

#1. I was able delete the SMS message from the message inbox. But the heart of the app is to delete it on the fly, which means before it comes into the inbox.

#2. I figured out when the new message arrives, the native Messaging app which Android provides will immediately post a Notification on the status bar. Is it a way to stop it by my app?

If I can't fix these problems, my SMS firewall

Sorry, I am not a native English speaker, so there must be flaws in my writing. I am trying my best to make them well understood.

#1. I'm afaid you could not prevent the message from being recieved by Android, because until then you could not identify it is a spam. Do not forget that this is a solution working at the client site;

He does not have to prevent the message from being received. All he wants is to prevent the notification signals (like playback of a sound and a notification in the status bar). If this could be intercepted, it would not be a problem if the message gets still into the inbox where it could then be deleted.

Yeah, you are right. I really can't prevent the messages from being received by Android, but can I prevent them from being added to the message inbox? If I can do that, then I am done.

There are SMS firewall in many other mobile platform, such as iPhone. The third-party SMS firewall for iPhone can function as a real firewall, no ringtone, no notification, no sms in the inbox, nothing at all. So there is a solution at the client side!

Anyway, to develop such a firewall violates the spirit of communication.
