Hi,

I'm a complete noob at building android application but I want to use react-native-get-sms-android to read sms only.

What I did :

• react-native init myapp
• cd myapp
• yarn add react-native-get-sms-android
• Add all permissions in android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
• Copy from here to myapp/App.js just to get a working example
• Launch android virtual device (Nexus one API 28)
• Once virtual device is ready : react-native run-android

The app gets correctly loaded into the virtual device. I allow ,through the popup, my app to read sms. And then the crash :
null is not an object (evaluating '_reactNativeGetSmsAndroid.default.list')

I have checked those two closed issues :

• 36 : I assume I have correctly copy pasted from example (hope it's a working example, though!)
  12 : I assume I'm not using Expo. Am I correct ? If not, I may need an explaination.

Otherwise, I just can't get the basic example working. Where is my fault ?

It would be really great to be able to look for a regex in the filters when using SmsAndroid.list() and not only a string (with body filter)

I'm going to send and delete my sms. i used this method to send sms

 let sms= SmsAndroid.autoSend("0966666622", "message", (fail) => {
            console.log("Failed with this error: " + fail)
        }, (success) => {
            console.log("SMS sent successfully ==>"+success);

        });
        console.log("second SMS sent successfully ==>"+sms);

and also used this method to delete sms

SmsAndroid.delete(1, (fail) => {
            console.log("Failed with this error: " + fail)
        }, (success) => {
            console.log("SMS deleted successfully");
        });

i get this error: Failed with this error: SMS not found****

i don't know how to get the sms id. in the autoSend to delete that sms.
Note: i pasted a fake number in the first delete argument!!

Is there any work around to make it work?

Thanks

Hi, I just installed this module. It is linked correctly but when I try to send a SMS I get this error:
"_reactNativeGetSmsAndroid2.default.autoSend is not a function". Why I get this error?
This is my code:
`import SmsAndroid from 'react-native-get-sms-android';

const instructions = Platform.select({
ios: 'Press Cmd+R to reload,\n' +
'Cmd+D or shake for dev menu',
android: 'Double tap R on your keyboard to reload,\n' +
'Shake or press menu button for dev menu',
});

export default class App extends Component<{}> {

sendsms = () => {
SmsAndroid.autoSend("0966666622", "hello", (fail) => {
console.log("Failed with this error: " + fail)
}, (success) => {
console.log("SMS sent successfully");
});
}

render() {
return (

<Button title="Press" onPress={() => this.sendsms()}/>

);
}
}
`

Problem Statement:

I am using react-native-get-sms-android for reading sms only. Still my app asks permission for WRITE_SMS and SEND_SMS, even though I have not asked for that permission.

Cause:

The permission specified in the AndroidManifest.xml of this plugin.

Solution:

Remove the permissions from this plugin's AndroidManifest.xml and let developers add it to their app's Manifest so that there are no permissions required that the developer is not aware of.

Workaround:

Add this to your app's android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml and it will remove unnecessary permission.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS" tools:node="remove" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" tools:node="remove" />

Also add xmlns:tools to your manifest tag to work:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    package="com.example">

I'm trying to send a sms message from physical device but i'm getting this error: Failed with this error: getGroupIdLevel1
`import SmsAndroid from 'react-native-get-sms-android';

SmsAndroid.autoSend(
phoneNumber,
message,
(fail) => {
console.log('Failed with this error: ' + fail);
},
(success) => {
console.log('SMS sent successfully');
},
);`

• Note Works fine in Emulator

Hi,
Is it possible to read MMS with this lib ?

Thanks

let filter = {
box: 'all',
minDate: date.valueOf(), // timestamp (in milliseconds since UNIX epoch)
indexFrom: 0, // start from index 0
maxCount: 500, // count of SMS to return each time
};
I use like this. Maybe samsung doesn't support get all sms

Hi i have been trying to setup SMS send in my new project but i constantly get this error: Unresolved function or method autoSend() in my IDE. On my emulator i get
Typerror:null is not an object(evaluating '_reactNativeGetSmsAndroid.default.autoSend')

I created fresh new project using create-react-native-app AwesomeProject command. then i installed the plugin and copy all the code and paste it in app.js
after that i run it into expo, and getting the following errors:

TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating '_reactNativeGetSmsAndroid2.default.list')

This error is located at:

While trying to fetch all messages only last message of grouped messages available. How can I fetch all the messages?

How check permission before send SMS ?
because log is error if permissions denied in android 7.

I use the AutoSend method to send SMS. and the callback says (SMS Sent Successfully) but actually I did not receive anything to my phone.
I tried different sender provider but still not receiving the SMS (although my SMS price has been taken) . should I change receiver too?

Version Error

I'm getting the following error:

Permission denied com.android.providers.telephony.SmsProvider

Please see the attached screenshot.

{
"_id": 1234,
"thread_id": 3,
"address": "2900",
"person": -1,
"date": 1365053816196,
}

Will the date attribute be unique (even diff in ms).
Asking this because to fetch sms based on date filter by setting "minDate": lastReadDate +1

• lastReadDate = Store the latest sms date value.
• Not setting maxDate

Please advise if this would work.

This is more of a question than an issue :-)

I see on npmjs.com that the package is being updated with the work here - last publish is 1.3.8 and recently: https://www.npmjs.com/package/rn-update-get-sms-android

However, I don't see any git tags or anything here, so I'm not sure what code is in which version? In the future could you git tag vX.Y.Z and git push --tags for the corresponding commit that you npm publish ? I would appreciate it, as I appreciate all the effort here :-). Thanks

Can we receive an event on sms sent and received actions?

This is how my dependencies looks like

"dependencies": {
    "react": "16.8.1",
    "react-native": "0.61.2",
    "react-native-get-sms-android": "^2.0.0"
  },

I have the following filter

var filter = {
          box: 'inbox', // 'inbox' (default), 'sent', 'draft', 'outbox', 'failed', 'queued', and '' for all
          // the next 4 filters should NOT be used together, they are OR-ed so pick one
          read: 1, // 0 for unread SMS, 1 for SMS already read
          // _id: 1061, // specify the msg id
          address: 'NICA_ALERT', // sender's phone number
          // body: 'Your 166##24001 has been Debited', // content to match
          // the next 2 filters can be used for pagination
          indexFrom: 0, // start from index 0
          maxCount: 100, // count of SMS to return each time
        };

I want to get only the SMS send from NICA_ALERT but I get other messages that is not set by NICA_ALERT

Here is how I have implemented the code

await SmsAndroid.list(
          JSON.stringify(filter),
          (fail) => {
            console.log('Failed with this error: ' + fail);
          },
          (count, smsList) => {
            var arr = JSON.parse(smsList);
            setSMSList(arr)
          },
        );

Expected

To get only messages from NICA_ALERT

Actual

Got messages from other senders aswell.

It is able to read Messages from contacts but not from any sms broadcasters.

Thanks for any reply

I have given permission manually still i got the same error.

PS: My project is ejected from expo.

When trying to use autoSend method, we see failure with this message Neither user {some id} nor current process has android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE as failure message. This is not listed as one of the permission required, not sure why should this fail in that case?

Sent messages using SmsAndroid.autoSend method don't show up when I fetch messages (SmsAndroid.list) or from any other SMS app.

Hi, how can i switch active simcard to send sms?

Hi,
I am trying to delete a message. As you can see from the image below that I am using the Default SMS app as my messaging app.

I am using this code to delete a SMS message that I had sent 10 minutes earlier.

The error message that comes up points that it cannot find it, yet I can confirm that the SMS exists. I took the screenshot

	SmsAndroid.delete(smsObject._id, (fail) => {
	    Toast.show("Failed with this error: " + fail)
	    return false
	}, (success) => {
	    Toast.show("SMS deleted successfully");
	    return true
	});

I am using Android 5.1.1
Can you please help me out with this?

Thanks and Regards
Gagan

Sorry I'm quite new to React Native.

I yarn installed your package and when I try this code

componentDidMount() {
        Sms.autoSend(
            '+111111111',
            'Test message',
            fail => {
                console.log('Failed with this error: ' + fail);
            },
            success => {
                console.log('SMS sent successfully');
            }
        );
    }

I get this error:

00:08:32: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating '_reactNativeGetSmsAndroid2.default.autoSend')

Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

I have followed the steps listed but my app is not getting built.
Below are the logs:

Let me know am I missing anything?

Do I need to use any other version of RN?

Hi,

I am currently at a stage where my "read" SMS is fully functional and I'm able to get an ALERT to pop up with the body of an unread text message by pressing a button.

However, I would like the alert to show up automatically whenever a new message comes in rather than having to press the button each time. Is that possible in any way? I thought about ComponentDidUpdate (not sure if that's appropriate) but I'm not sure on how to apply it.
Any tips?

Here is the getSMS Function

`  getSMS = () => {
    let filter = {
      box: 'inbox',
      read: null,
      id: null,
      address: null,
      body: 'JobID:',  
      indexFrom: 0, 
      maxCount: 10, 
    };
    SmsAndroid.list(
      JSON.stringify(filter),
      fail => {
        console.log('Failed with this error: ' + fail);
      },
      (count, smsList) => {
        console.log('Count: ', count);
        console.log('List: ', smsList);
        var arr = JSON.parse(smsList);

        arr.forEach(function(object) {
          console.log('Object: ' + object);
          console.log('-->' + object.date);
          console.log('-->' + object.body);

          alert('You Have a new job!: \n' + object.body);
        });
      },
    );
  };`

Please note the 'null' is only there for testing purposes, I will explain further below the render method.

here is the render method:

 render() {
    return (
      <React.Fragment>
      <CardView
        getSMS={this.getSMS}
      />
       </React.Fragment> 
    );
  }
}

EDIT:

SOLVED BY USING REACT NATIVE ANDROID SMS LISTENER LIBRARY.

Could not find a declaration file for module 'react-native-get-sms-android'. 'e:/react native/wixNavigaton/node_modules/react-native-get-sms-android/index.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
Try npm install @types/react-native-get-sms-android if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing declare module 'react-native-get-sms-android';ts(7016)

I'm trying to analyze all the messages in the inbox, so plan to iterate in batches of 100

var filter = {
box: 'inbox',
body:'',
indexFrom: 0, // start from index 0
maxCount: 100, // count of SMS to return each time
};

Only returns "read" messages and there is only "50" objects returned.
Any idea why this is happening

For the use-case of filtering out a certain type of SMSes where the Senders matches some pattern, I was thinking if we can add support for addressRegex in the SMS filter.

I have created the PR. Please take a look and let me know if changes are needed.

how to delete message/inbox using this module? please help me

Hi,

I've tested on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 6, and I get an empty list of sms (when there should be 3), but when I tested it with another device, I was getting the messages correctly.
Both permissions for READ_SMS and SEND_SMS were granted on both devices, so does this library only works on some devices?

Thanks.

how to know the recipient's phone number?
what does all the information mean? (thread_id, person, type ....)

How I use it ?

import {SmsAndroid} from 'react-native-get-sms-android';
SmsAndroid.autoSend(<phonenumber>, "Test", (fail) => {}, (success) => {});

I've seen that each SMS has the following structure:

interface ISMS {
  _id: number;
  address: string; // Phone address
  announcements_subtyle: number;
  app_id: number;
  body: string;
  correlation_tag: string;
  creator: string;
  d_rpt_cnt: number;
  date: number;
  date_send: number;
  deletable: 0;
  error_code: number;
  favorite: number;
  hidden: number;
  locked: number;
  msg_id: number;
  pri: number;
  protocol: number;
  read: number;
  reply_path_present: number;
  reserved: number;
  roam_pending: number;
  safe_message: number;
  secret_mode: number;
  seen: number;
  service_center: string;
  sim_imsi: string;
  sim_slot: 0;
  spam_report: number;
  status: number;
  sub_id: number;
  acv_cmd: number;
  teleservice_id: number;
  thread_id: number;
  type: number;
  using_mode: number;
}

And I've seen that I can use 'read' filter while reading SMS messages from phone, but once I've read and handled a single SMS I'd like to update his 'read' status to true to avoid to re-reading it.

How can it be done?

Thanks for any help!

Is there any particular format in which we must write the regex expression? Because whenever I put bodyRegex, I get an empty array as response.

Hi,
Can't seem to get the sms_onDelivery Event listener to work. I'm using a Huawei Mate 10 Lite running on Android 8.0.

Am I missing something?
Do you have snippets for any working implementation?
