How to read the message content of a new in coming message in android?

Question

I want to read the message body of a new incoming SMS in android, programmatically.

I tried something but that doesn't return any contents:

Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");         ContextWrapper context = null;               Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null ,null,null);               String body = null;          String number=null;         if(c.moveToFirst()) {                    body = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow("body")).toString();            number = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow("address")).toString();         }         c.close();

I have posted some sample programs about this on my class website. Here is the example Read SMS Example Here is a snippet of code. Basically your can register a broadcast receiver to listen for SMS_Receive and check out the following.

Intent intent = getIntent();     Bundle bundle = intent.getBundleExtra("mySMS");      if (bundle != null) {         Object[] pdus = (Object[])bundle.get("pdus");         SmsMessage sms = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[])pdus[0]);         Log.i("mobile.cs.fsu.edu", "smsActivity : SMS is <" +  sms.getMessageBody() +">");          //strip flag         String message = sms.getMessageBody();         while (message.contains("FLAG"))             message = message.replace("FLAG", "");          TextView tx = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextBox);         tx.setText(message);                 } else         Log.i("mobile.cs.fsu.edu", "smsActivity : NULL SMS bundle");
