Android SMS receiver not working [closed]

Answer 1

The action name seems to require a capital "T" in "Telephony.

android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED

Answer 2

In addition to Samuh's answer (you need to do an object comparison on the action string, or just do no comparison), in your manifest file you have misspelled SMS_RECEIVED.

Answer 3

Since telephony is deprecated (since 1.0 I think), this method doesn't work anymore. Check out this tutorial if you need a proper solution: http://mobiforge.com/developing/story/sms-messaging-android (Just wanted to note this, since I stumbled upon a lot of tutorials that don't work anymore)

Answer 4

For String variables you should not compare with == symbol, you should compare with equals() method

this is wrong

intent.getAction() == SMS_RECEIVED) 

this is right

intent.getAction().equals (SMS_RECEIVED)) 

Answer 5

I think your manifest looks okay; the problem is with the line:

if (intent.getAction() == SMS_RECEIVED) {

I think it should be: intent.getAction().equals(ACTION)

Hope that helps..
