package com.androidexample.broadcastreceiver;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.telephony.SmsManager;
import android.telephony.SmsMessage;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;


public class IncomingSms extends BroadcastReceiver {
   
    // Get the object of SmsManager
    final SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
   
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
   
        // Retrieves a map of extended data from the intent.
        final Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();

        try {
           
            if (bundle != null) {
               
                final Object[] pdusObj = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
               
                for (int i = 0; i < pdusObj.length; i++) {
                   
                    SmsMessage currentMessage = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdusObj[i]);
                    String phoneNumber = currentMessage.getDisplayOriginatingAddress();
                   
                    String senderNum = phoneNumber;
                    String message = currentMessage.getDisplayMessageBody();

                    Log.i("SmsReceiver", "senderNum: "+ senderNum + "; message: " + message);
                   
                    int duration = Toast.LENGTH_LONG;
                    Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, "senderNum: "+ senderNum + ", message: " + message, duration);
                    toast.show();
                   
                } // end for loop
              } // bundle is null

        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("SmsReceiver", "Exception smsReceiver" +e);
           
        }
    }

   
   
}
