sms-parsing's Issues

SmsBroadcastReceiver a couple of questions.

Hi,

Nice example. I've had a look as the sample, and noticed that smsMessage seems un-initialised. Where should it be coming from?

smsSender = smsMessage.getDisplayOriginatingAddress();

How should it be populated?

Also SmsHelper.SERVICE_PROVIDER seems to be undeclared as well as listener. Can you please give me guidance on where they should be coming from, please?

This would help compile build upon the example.

Many Thanks!

smsSender is not pulled from SMS-message

In the SmsBroadcastReceiver the String smsSender is declared as empty ("").
But the sender is filled with information.
link to source: https://github.com/JoaquimLey/sms-parsing/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/joaquimley/smsparsing/SmsBroadcastReceiver.java

The result is that the line
Log.d(TAG, "SMS detected: From " + smsSender + " With text " + smsBody);

doesn't show the smsSender.

Forgive me if my issue is formatted or explained badly - this is the first time I interact on GitHub :) - thanks for a great code it helped me a great deal!

The solution seems to be to change

        for (SmsMessage smsMessage : Telephony.Sms.Intents.getMessagesFromIntent(intent)) {
            smsBody += smsMessage.getMessageBody();
        }

to

        for (SmsMessage smsMessage : Telephony.Sms.Intents.getMessagesFromIntent(intent)) {
            smsBody += smsMessage.getMessageBody();
            smsSender += smsMessage.getOriginatingAddress();
        }
