Listen to incoming multipart SMS message


I can catch newly incoming SMS messages. But if that is a multipart message, my broadcast receiver receives all parts of the message at several times.

Is there a way to receive the whole message at one time - like default messaging app does?


Solution

  • Holy...!

    After reading the Android source (this file), I realize that this is such a stupid question...

    Here is my receiver:

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Log.d(ClassName, "received SMS");
    
        Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
        if (bundle != null) {
            Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
            // here is what I need, just combine them all  :-)
            final SmsMessage[] messages = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];
            Log.d(ClassName, String.format("message count = %s", messages.length));
            for (int i = 0; i < pdus.length; i++) {
                messages[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdus[i]);
            }
        }
    }// onReceive()
    

    Oops... I was too lazy to look at my code. I already got all parts of the message at a time.
