Android - receiving long SMS (multipart)

Question

I have an application, which has to listen for specific SMS. So far easy.

But when I receive the message, it's multipart. Is there a proper way to receive the SMS as one message?

Now my activity starts two times, for each part of the sms. Should I concatenate the SMS by hand?

Answer 1

It may be useful to look at how gTalkSMS handles incoming SMS'es, as it appears to handle multipart messages correctly.

Bundle bundle  = intent.getExtras(); Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");             messages = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];             for (int i = 0; i < pdus.length; i++)             {                 messages[i] =                     SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdus[i]);             }  SmsMessage sms = messages[0]; try {   if (messages.length == 1 || sms.isReplace()) {     body = sms.getDisplayMessageBody();   } else {     StringBuilder bodyText = new StringBuilder();     for (int i = 0; i < messages.length; i++) {       bodyText.append(messages[i].getMessageBody());     }     body = bodyText.toString();   } } catch (Exception e) {  }

Shorter solution:

if (intent.getAction().equals("android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED")) {
                    Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();           //---get the SMS message passed in---
                    SmsMessage[] msgs = null;

                    if (bundle != null) {
                        //---retrieve the SMS message received---
                        try {
                            Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
                            msgs = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];
                            String msgBody = "";
                            String msg_from = "";
                            for (int i = 0; i < msgs.length; i++) {
                                msgs[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdus[i]);
                                msg_from = msgs[i].getOriginatingAddress();
                                msgBody += msgs[i].getMessageBody();
                            }

                        } catch (Exception e) {
    //                            Log.d("Exception caught",e.getMessage());
                        }
                    }
                }
