Here in this example i'll demonstrate you that how to read the recent received(incoming) sms from inbox and to show it in textview.

 fstmsgBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()

    { public void onClick(View v) 
    {
        Uri my_uri = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");          
        Cursor readFstSms =v.getContext().getContentResolver().query(my_uri, null, null ,null,null); 
        if(readFstSms.moveToFirst()) 
        {
           String  msg_body =  c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow("body")).toString();
           //String sender_number = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow("address")).toString();
           readtxt.setText(msg_body);
        }
        readFstSms.close();
    }
    });
