How to analyze incoming SMS on Android?

Question

How can I code in Android such that my app can analyze an incoming SMS and perhaps block it or do something(maybe move to a different SMS folder) BEFORE the SMS actually rai

Answer 1

I use this code, as a BroadcastReceiver:

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) 
{   
    //this stops notifications to others
    this.abortBroadcast();

    //---get the SMS message passed in---
    Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();   
    SmsMessage[] msgs = null;
    String str = "";            
    if (bundle != null)
    {
        //---retrieve the SMS message received---
        Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
        msgs = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];            
        for (int i=0; i

remember to add it in manifest and add a higgest priority (100) for broadcast or sms will go first to inbox and get the alert notification.

Hope it helps you.
