Android Question one long sms causes multiple notifications to be raised

[RichyK68]

Hi,

When using the SmsInterceptor and listening for incoming messages, I find the new message event is raised multiple times for a single SMS (when it is longer than 160 characters). I'm aware that when it's more than 160 characters it is split up, and Android stock messages will combine them back into the one message. How can I get more information beyond the From and the Body, maybe like the Id of the message, so that I can treat multiple events as a single event relating to the same message? Is there another library or functionality that can help me here? It must be possible to determine that the events all related to the same SMS as Android does it somehow

Thanks,

Richard

You can use the reflection solution with a static intent filter: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/th...cepting-sms-messages-in-the-background.20103/

This is in most cases a better solution (if you do not need to cancel the message).

It should be simple to call other methods: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/SmsMessage.html

Maybe the getTimestampMillis is what you are looking after.
