  1. POIntercept Text Messages : Debugging Problems
    text
    copied!<p>I am using a simple BroadcastReceiver and onReceive method to intercept text messages as they come. For some reason, every time I send the text message: the app crashes. When I try to debug the app: I send the text message and the app still crashes but instead of taking me into the Receiver class, it suspends inside of the "ActivityThreadhandleReceiver(ActivityThread,ActivityThreadReceiverData)". The Debugging window just says for the Thread: "(Suspended(exception RuntimeException))".</p> <p>How am I supposed to find out why my app is crashing if it won't allow me to step through my code.</p> <p>Here is my Receiver Class: </p> <pre><code>public class FinderReciever extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras(); SmsMessage[ ] msgs = null; String str = ""; if (bundle != null) { //---retrieve the received message here --- Object[ ] pdus = (Object[ ]) bundle.get("pdus"); msgs = new SmsMessage[pdus.length]; for (int i=0; i&lt;msgs.length; i++){ msgs[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[ ])pdus[i]); str += "SMS from " + msgs[i].getOriginatingAddress(); str += " :"; str += msgs[i].getMessageBody().toString(); str += "\n"; } // ........first show sms here..... Toast.makeText(context, str, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } </code></pre> <p>And here is my Manifest:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; </code></pre> <p> </p> <pre><code>&lt;application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name"&gt; &lt;activity android:name=".PhoneFinder_Activity" android:label="@string/app_name"&gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/activity&gt; &lt;receiver android:name=".SmsReceiver"&gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;action android:name= "android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" /&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/receiver&gt; &lt;/application&gt; &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" /&gt; &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" /&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! </p> <p>EDIT: Even after re-formatting the method to run inside of my main Activity I get the exact same result. This exact same method works upon the sending of texts Intent:</p> <pre><code> String SENT = "SMS_SENT"; String DELIVERED = "SMS_DELIVERED"; String RECEIVED = "SMS_RECEIVED"; PendingIntent sentPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(SENT), 0); PendingIntent deliveredPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(DELIVERED), 0); PendingIntent receivedPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(RECEIVED), 0); //---when the SMS has been sent--- registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver(){ @Override public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) { switch (getResultCode()) { case Activity.RESULT_OK: Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "FRIGGEN SMS!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); break; case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_GENERIC_FAILURE: Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Generic failure", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); break; case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_NO_SERVICE: Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "No service", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); break; case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_NULL_PDU: Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Null PDU", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); break; case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_RADIO_OFF: Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Radio off", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); break; } } }, new IntentFilter(RECEIVED)); </code></pre>
