I am using the broadcaster class to listen to sms messages using this code
package com.escortme.basic;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.telephony.SmsMessage;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class SMSReceiverActivity extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// Parse the SMS.
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
SmsMessage[] msgs = null;
String str = "";
if (bundle != null)
{
// Retrieve the SMS.
Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
msgs = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];
for (int i=0; i<msgs.length; i++)
{
msgs[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[])pdus[i]);
// In case of a particular App / Service.
//if(msgs[i].getOriginatingAddress().equals("+91XXX"))
//{
str += "SMS from " + msgs[i].getOriginatingAddress();
str += " :";
str += msgs[i].getMessageBody().toString();
str += "\n";
//}
}
// Display the SMS as Toast.
Toast.makeText(context, str, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Pol_ViewActivity appState = ((Pol_ViewActivity)getApplicationContext()); // ERROR
appState.move_map_to("33.786047","-59.187287");
}
}
}
and it's defined in manifest like so
<receiver
android:name="com.escortme.basic.SMSReceiverActivity"
android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
But the problem is it says "The method getApplicationContext() is undefined for the type SMSReceiverActivity".
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks
Look at the method signature for onReceive()
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
You are being passed a context as a parameter. You should be using that context when you need one.
Pol_ViewActivity appState = ((Pol_ViewActivity)context);
EDIT: also I don't know exactly what it is you are trying to do. But you probably shouldn't be trying to obtain an Activity object and call a method on it like you seem to be doing.
I hope this may help you my frnd.
Try importing this package (import android.telephony.gsm.SmsManager;)
//---sends a SMS message to another device---
private void sendSMS(String phoneNumber, String message)
{
String SENT = "SMS_SENT";
String DELIVERED = "SMS_DELIVERED";
PendingIntent sentPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,
new Intent(SENT), 0);
PendingIntent deliveredPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,
new Intent(DELIVERED), 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(), "SMS sent",
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(SENT));
//---when the SMS has been delivered---
registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver(){
@Override
public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
switch (getResultCode())
{
case Activity.RESULT_OK:
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS delivered",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS not delivered",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
}
}
}, new IntentFilter(DELIVERED));
SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, message, sentPI, deliveredPI);
}
One reason for getting the application context would be to get the the WIFI_SERVICE
as it must be looked up on the Application context or memory will leak on devices < Android N.
As Someone Somewhere once said, within onReceive()
, just use context.getApplicationContext()
.
