    <p>I am not able to catch the intent when a SMS is received. Below is my code of the service. I am able to catch the "<code>Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON</code>" and "<code>Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF</code>" but I am NOT able to catch the <code>SMS_RECEIVED</code> intent "<code>android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED</code>".</p> <p>Sincerely appreciate any hints on what I am doing wrong here?</p> <pre><code>public class SmsCatcher extends Service{ BroadcastReceiver myBroadcast = new BroadcastReceiver() { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Log.i("myBroadcast SmsCatcher", "Entered onReceive method"); if(intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF)) { Log.i("myBroadcast SmsCatcher", "Caught SCREEN_OFF"); } if(intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON)) { Log.i("myBroadcast SmsCatcher", "Caught SCREEN_ON"); } if(intent.getAction().equals("android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED")) { Log.i("myBroadcast SmsCatcher", "SMS_RECEIVED"); } } }; @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) { return null; } @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); Log.i("neil SmsCatcher", "Entered onCreate() in 'SmsCatcher extends Service'"); Toast.makeText(this, "Entered onCreate() in 'SmsCatcher extends Service'", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); registerReceiver(myBroadcast, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON)); registerReceiver(myBroadcast, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF)); } @Override public void onDestroy() { super.onDestroy(); Log.i("neil SmsCatcher", "Entered onDestroy() in 'SmsCatcher extends Service'"); Toast.makeText(this, "Entered onDestroy() in 'SmsCatcher extends Service'", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } } </code></pre> <p><strong>UPDATE 1</strong>: Adding some more information from my ongoing debug: I used the App <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lt.andro.broadcastlogger&amp;hl=en" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Internal Broadcasts Monitor</a> to see there is a broadcast when there is a text message received and I dont see anything, very strange. What could be the reason? I have other SMS apps installed (Hangout, AT&amp;T Messages) - these cant suppress the broadcast can they?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 2: FOUND PROBLEM BUT DONT KNOW HOW TO SOLVE</strong> I uninstalled the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.talk" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Google Hangouts (replaces Talk)</a> app and it WORKS!!! Any solution around this? (should i be opening a separate thread as per stackoverflow rules?)</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 3: FOUND ROOTCAUSE</strong> (with help below of course, thank you) It turns out that because of the new Google Hangouts App, I needed to <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/IntentFilter.html#setPriority%28int%29" rel="nofollow noreferrer">setPriority(int)</a>. I found the solution at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20021492/enabling-sms-support-in-hangouts-2-0-breaks-the-broadcastreceiver-of-sms-receive">Enabling SMS support in Hangouts 2.0 breaks the BroadcastReceiver of SMS_RECEIVED in my app</a> </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
