copied!<p>I have the following code to receive an SMS and I am trying to get the contact name.</p> <pre><code>package com.example.smsTest; import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.database.Cursor; import android.net.Uri; import android.os.Bundle; import android.provider.ContactsContract; import android.provider.ContactsContract.PhoneLookup; import android.telephony.SmsMessage; import android.widget.Toast; public class SmsReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { private SQLiteAdapter mySQLiteAdapter; @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { mySQLiteAdapter = new SQLiteAdapter(context); mySQLiteAdapter.openToRead(); Message message = null; Bundle extras = intent.getExtras(); if (extras == null) return; Object[] pdus = (Object[]) extras.get("pdus"); for (int i = 0; i < pdus.length; i++) { SmsMessage SMessage = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdus[i]); String sender = SMessage.getOriginatingAddress(); String body = SMessage.getMessageBody().toString(); message = mySQLiteAdapter.createMessage(sender, body); // A custom Intent that will used as another Broadcast Intent in = new Intent("SmsMessage.intent.MAIN").putExtra( "get_msg", sender + ":" + body); // To display a Toast whenever there is an SMS. Toast.makeText(context, body, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); Uri personUri = Uri.withAppendedPath( ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, SMessage.getOriginatingAddress()); Cursor cur = context.getContentResolver().query(personUri, new String[] { PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME }, null, null, null ); if( cur.moveToFirst() ) { int nameIndex = cur.getColumnIndex(PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME); String PersonName = cur.getString(nameIndex); Toast.makeText(context, PersonName, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } cur.close(); // You can place your check conditions here(on the SMS or the // sender) // and then send another broadcast context.sendBroadcast(in); // This is used to abort the broadcast and can be used to silently // process incoming message and prevent it from further being // broadcasted. Avoid this, as this is not the way to program an // app. this.abortBroadcast(); } } } </code></pre> <p>This is the code that I have added that cause my app to crash:</p> <pre><code>Uri personUri = Uri.withAppendedPath( ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, SMessage.getOriginatingAddress()); Cursor cur = context.getContentResolver().query(personUri, new String[] { PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME }, null, null, null ); if( cur.moveToFirst() ) { int nameIndex = cur.getColumnIndex(PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME); String PersonName = cur.getString(nameIndex); Toast.makeText(context, PersonName, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } cur.close(); </code></pre> <p>I just modified the code from the answer on this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4359564/how-to-get-the-contacts-display-name-in-sms-uri">link</a>.</p> <p>Now the app crashes when receiving an SMS.</p>
