Android: how to get phone number from a incoming SMS?

Question

I have a broadcast receiver SMSApp which onReceive reads bundleExtras from intent. Here, How can I read phone number from bundleExtras?

if(intent.getAction().equals(SMS_RECEIVED))
{
  Bundle bundleExtras = intent.getExtras();
  if (bundleExtras != null) 
    {

    }
}

Answer 1

Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
            Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
            final SmsMessage[] messages = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];
            for (int i = 0; i < pdus.length; i++) {
                messages[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdus[i]);
            }

Now, messages[0].getOriginatingAddress() is the address and messages[0].getMessageBody() is the message body.

also using this link , you can do:

if (bundle != null) {
    SmsMessage[] messages = Telephony.Sms.Intents.getMessagesFromIntent(intent);
    for (int i = 0; i < messages.length; i++) {
        SmsMessage message = messages[i];
        buf.append("Received SMS from  ");
        buf.append(message.getDisplayOriginatingAddress());
        buf.append(" - ");
        buf.append(message.getDisplayMessageBody());
    }
}
